- My son drove the SUV (our primary family vehicle) into a utility pole. It was entirely preventable. He wanted to see how fast he could go. Now he knows.
- When I bought our insurance policy a couple years ago online, I neglected to get collision insurance. I thought it was covered under comprehensive. My husband was working incredibly long hours, at the beginning of an extremely difficult year during which I rarely saw him and when I did he was exhausted. I intended to have him look over the policy and forgot. Big oops.
- The body shop got to $16,000 worth of damage and stopped counting. The SUV is dead, and we're only half-way through the expensive payments.
- My husband was laid off yesterday--the third layoff in just over two years.
- On the way to the body shop yesterday, our car stalled with some kind of transmission problem. We got it started again, but it was touch and go for a couple minutes.
- Summer is always an impossible time of year for us financially, as I don't get a regular paycheck then.
- Yesterday was our anniversary.
- Blah.

OMG! Hopefully your son was okay. I mean before you hurt him so being so stupid! Don't you just want to shake your teens now and then and say, "WHAT ARE YOU THINKING!"
At times I think my kids were way easier to deal with when they were babies. At least I could control life then!
Keep your chin up.
