Don't Sweat the Little Things

I was stressing a bit as to having the tote done for MIL bday today(it is and is drying, needs straps sewn on), having socks done,(ahead of schedule on that)getting home in order(just about except attic and minor bedroom things)and DS called. He is a fairly new driver, we bought him an older pickup, which he adores. He has just passed the 6 month mark where he is allowed to drive other young people. He is a very conscientious driver, safety minded,(mother who works in ER and brings home stories of warnings nagged). DS was in the drive through line at Mickey D's and felt a pop as he stepped on brakes so he pulled into a space and gave a call. The pop was his brakeline....ten minutes in either direction of time and he would have been driving in a somewhat busy area with two of his friends in his truck when he lost his brakes. I am blessed that he had the good sense to not push the issue and try driving or that he didn't hesitate for a minute to call home. I am blessed that way with both of my sons...So the tote and the socks and the attic seem less important right now. Don't sweat the small stuff folks....

Wow- that was a close call. But it sounds like you don't have much to worry about with either DS's.

You're right, we shouldn't sweat the small stuff.

Whew! Close call! Having one son learning to drive last year, and a step-son learning this year, I know how hard it is to hand them the car keys, watch them go out the door and pray they don't hurt! Thank heaven he is okay and knew he could always call Mom :)
