Ok I have been dealing with insurance companies for a couple of months trying to lower my payments. So finally I got it down from $140 per month to $88 per month (auto and homeowners) Just made my first $88 payment last month. Now hubby was in such a hurry getting home last tuesday from the cabin that he ended up getting pulled over (after I told him to slow down ) So he gets nailed for 73 in a 55 in "MY" truck. But then he turns to me and says see what happens when you make me drive at night WTF So with him having a lead foot "I" get blamed for it. Well he got lucky and he reduced it to 65 in a 55 but now he has to pay $169 for the ticket. And he thinks nothing of it. I kept yelling at him this past weekend to SLOW down. He was doing 70 again. I told him thanks, now the ins. is going to go back up He just looked at me with an evil grin like he didn't care grrrrrrr. I could just smack him upside the head. Maybe thats why I have such a bad headache right now.
Thanks for letting me get that off my chest

Well didn't u KNOW it's ALWAYS "our" fault puddle?? sheeesshhhhh! My hubby also has a heavy foot and refuses to wear his seat belt which is ridiculous but he's a big boy. (and got ticketed for not wearing it) Is this his first ticket? If so, they have a program here that u can pay the ticket, go to a class and it will NOT show up on ur record. U may want to check into that!
GOod luck,
Ang

Puddle, that stinks and no wonder you have a headache. I have been to the class Ang is referring to and it would serve him right if it is as bad as the one I attended. I can sympathize, I got blamed for my 11 yr old not turning in an art project yesterday.... My husband literally called me at work yelled at and blamed me. Never mind the kid is old enough to take responsibility and never mind he picks him up every day and I do not get home until 3 hours later and he does his homeowrk with him.

Can you say defensive driving? It's cheaper than paying the ticket and it won't hurt your insurance!
I know I drive like a hellion. I can't stand to sit in traffic because when I do I get really cranky and my back hurts. I only drive safe when my family is in the car.

Thank You!! I will check into that class and see if they have one here.
We did tell the cop that he had just passed the car in front of him. The car was only doing 40 grrrr. And thats when he came back and said that after he got us he clocked the people behind us and they clocked at 61 and that it was impossible that they were doing 40. Plus when hubby finally got back into his lane he was well past the no passing zone. So he could have gotten that as well. Plus no seat belt. But it was dark and he didn't even check. He's still grumpy at me about this. But now the kids are picking on him about it lmao. They tell him dad did you tell the cop that you had your steeltoes shoes on and thats why your foot was heavy lmao. He gets mad and walks away.
Yep ANG I have found that out lately So far EVERYTHING is MY fault here. Even the weather WTH Just because it's windy and raining when he's hunting, it's my fault. ummmm....I don't remember my name being mother nature. And I thought "I" had PMS. lol

Puddle, did you not read the wife/mommy job description...it clearly states we control all things, are keeper of all things, responsible for all things and fixer of all things. We never get tired because breasts are really battery packs and extra brain matter which allows us to fufill our duties.

Ok now you are killing me with laughter!
Puddle do check into a driving course so it does not show on driving record. I recently had a nasty ticket that I paid over $500 to an attorney to keep it off my record.It was clearly a case of small town/ me with out of state license plate.That was an expensive lesson. |

Cajun, I live in a house with all boys. ( and i would not trade it for anything) I use the battery pack sermon regularly. They get a kick out of it.

I was kind of nervous about posting the battery pack thing I did not want to offend anyone, especially the guys. I did not want them to think Iam a man hater. Living in a house full of the male species makes you be creative. And like I said, I love all my boys dearly.

Well funny thing is, my hubby grew up with 4 sisters and his mom and dad so the men were the minority. Then we got married and had 3 girls, then a boy last, so again he was the minority! Now all the girls have grown up and moved out so it's me, hubby and son (almost 16) and now i'm the minority!
OUCH! It hurts sometimes! ha ha

I checked it & replied ha ha ha. I am so with you guys on the always our fault. I've been feeling under the weather the past couple of days. Yesterday I asked hubby to get dinner ready for little one so when she got back from the park with big sissy dinner would be ready. well he sat there & sat there & sat there...finally i got up & started to make it myself. of course all the while i have STEAM coming out of my ears. He tells sit back down I'll get it..I told him you weren't going to do it until i got up to do it. Figuring I wasn't feeling well & my attitude wasn't the greatest I headed to the bedroom as to not bite his head off. I start to doze off..hear a thump on the bathroom wall, the here sloane (19 month old) crying. So I get out of bed pissed as all hell (cuz I don't here dear old dad asking any questions) to see what was going on. Of course sloane see's me & comes running...hubby then turns around & says (like he's talking to one of his kids) you better not get sloane sick. WTF
!!!! I proceeded to hand Sloane back to her dad & oh my god she was pissed...screaming at the top of her lungs. I was back in the bedroom now with lava spewing from my ears. He brings her in & says thanks for not thinking I can take care of our daughter!! WTF is that all about...would he have called me a bad mom if I hadn't gone to check & see what was going on?? talking about not being able to win for losing! Needless to say..Sloane stayed with me in the bedroom for the rest of the night!

Ang, Oooohhhh, I think I would rather be the minority in a house of males. My sister and Iwere hell on wheels, I can not imagine what my dad went through. Your husband must have incredible patience. Atleast he already had the training before your girls came along.
LMK, can we say COUCH?
