OMG!!

Driving to work this morning, radio blaring, singing along, not particularly paying as much attention to the road as I should have been. You know how it is. All of a sudden, a bird drops out of the sky and hits my windshield. I screamed, swerved, didn't know what in the heck was going on. (Thank God I didn't have my kids with me!) I came to a complete stop at the side of the road. Heart beating nearly through my chest, I get out of the jeep and walk back about 10 feet where I see a big brown thing on the side of the road. It's a wild turkey. I nearly had a heart attack. I could feel my heart almost beating out of my chest. An oncoming car stopped to see if everything was alright, and I start to tell him the story. He probably thought I was insane. I appeared sane enough. Yellow polo shirt, khaki skirt, leather sandals. I didn't have any drool hanging from the corner of my mouth or a machete dangling from my side. He just laughed, looked at the feathers on my wiper, and told me to have a good day. If I ever see this guy again, I know the first thing I'm going to wonder is if he's thinking to himself 'oh my God, that's that crazy woman I seen the other day.'
