car wreck

Yah..here she is in all her splendor at the former owner's house. Before my husband smashed the front end out this summer. He ..was just distracted due to illness and KWAHHHM smashed into a lady. No police were called. Our car much worse off.

TODAY...I have 4 kids with me. I drop one off, go to where the van is getting detailed (PREMONITION MAYBE) say to my husband..ummmmm I"m driving these 2 kids without a Booster seat ---(Law here just changed to EIGHT YEARS OLD (ridiculous) OR 4"9"...Its Crazy!!The Older one was in front seat.
less than a MILE down the road...KAAAAAWHAAAMMM...some bitch slams into me in the volvo. Of course INSIDE the Volvo...No damage..no injuries. Now I"m just PISSED. Get out survey the damange...worse on hers than mine...I said do you want to call the cops? She said..NOt if YOU don't want too...I didn't I didn't want the $160 a piece ticket and some dumbass endangering a child or something they may come up with. I got the hell out of dodge.
Weird thing....EXACT same Place My husband ran into someone this summer.
The bumper is smashed in, I have a very sore back...(getting less so with wine)....

I feel a little like BoB BARKER

...and...you have....A NEW CAR!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Volvo 850 Turbo!!

God gives good gifts to his children.

We went and looked at this car last week in Ann Arbor. We went and Picked it up today!!
Don was squeemish about it..literally said, "I can't SEE myself driving this". I told him that day..."I can SEE you driving it". Literally. Saw him transporting the urchins to school etc..saw him happy to have a decent vehicle.
I called him earlier this week While I was away...and told him HE needed to change his attitude toward the car. To envision his hands wrapped around the steering wheel, to see himself fiddling with the controls etc.
Part of our "managing money god's way" class the last session, was to talk about how God..the loving Father, gives GOOD gifts to his children. We don't have to be Down and out...white trash Baptistic Christians who think poor is equivalent to godliness.I'm So DONE with that thinking. We are very generous..give out of abundance..not out of Sacrifice. We are not greedy..yet have a tendency to think we don't deserve nice things. This is a direct result of taking care of what WE ALREADY HAVE, and being thankful for IT!
I'm so happy to SEE him driving a better car. Its a 1996, turbo, champagne color...really nice.
