front fender damage and a broken I-Pod

Poor Dominique.....Monday night on the way home from the game he tried to swerve to avoid hitting a deer.....and instead hit a road work sign. Peeled the entire front passenger fender back to the door, took off the side mirror and broke the headlight. He was NOT hurt but shook up a bit! We spent all day trying to locate parts from junk yards. THANKS to my brother Philip who found all the parts at one place! Scott stopped to pick them up on his way home from work and was told he had to pay first and come back Wednesday to pick them all up. So......needless to say Dominique missed band practice Tuesday night because of lack of transportation. And we all missed church because it took all night to fix the car. But thankfully Philip was able to fix everything. YEH! We did notice the windshield is broken down in the bottom corner so we are praying that will last a while as we absolutely cannot afford a new windshield right now!
Then as if that wasn't enough for my 17 year old boy.....his I-pod quit working after nearly an hour and a half with technical support both on the phone and computer. It cannot be fixed. For those of you who know my boy.....you know that is probably the absolute worst thing that could happen to him. He lives and breathes music. For him to be without music.....I shudder to think the moods that will follow him around until he has enough money to replace it.
He has been looking for a job for a couple months now, put in several applications and has had no calls yet, he is getting discouraged.
WHEW! what a week he has had. Pray for him!
