It has been a rough few days.

On top of the fact that we had 5 extra people here over the past weekend (they left on Monday) on Monday afternoon while I was recouping watching a movie and the kids were out delivering fliers to the neighbors (A Boy with at Truck) we got a phone call. It was #1 calling to say he had been in an accident. After a second call seconds later telling us to bring the "Jaws of Life" we booked it down to where they were-luckily it was only 2 miles away from the house....He was right his door wouldn't open. The truck was T-Boned by an SEMI-TRUCK...yes, my son thought he could make it across an intersection in front of s SEMI Truck.

He also had his two brothers with him too! We thought he was a smart kid! Well anyway, after picking up our children who were definitely slammed around in the truck-they were pushed from the intersection, through some grass did a 180 and then landed down into a parking lot. Luckily it wasn't lunch time or they would have taken out a car or two too!

We took them home called the insurance and checked my son's bank account to see how much money he had. LUCKILY FOR HIM I made him do things like SAVE his Xmas monies and birthday monies (though the older he got the less that went in) along with him saving some of his money from this summers jobs he had about $3600. I started my search on Craig's List so I could get a feeling for prices, after all thank you Bruton Smith for coming up with Cash for Clunkers and thank you President Obama and our lovely government for signing it in and now the price of used vehicles have gone up!

We spend all day Tuesday (so much for triples at HT!) driving around looking to see what we could buy. Luckily we are not too picky when it comes to trucks (which he had to have a truck for his business) and we found another Fleet vehicle. This one is much nicer even though it is a year older than the first one plus it has a lot less miles. On Wednesday we took it too our BFF's step dads garage so they could check it out. They said it is a really good deal and in pretty good condition...So once again we are a 3 vehicle family here is what $3500 can buy in NC. We just hope that this one will not need a new transmission after 2 weeks like the first one did.

Maybe today I can make it to the grocery store.
