Those days where you really start to wonder, what have I done to have such rotten luck? My poor hubby has had a pretty rough life. As a brief rundown:
He was in an abusive marriage (meaning he was hit) for 20 years before finally getting out
He lost his house and everything in it and 3 months later found out his then wife was cheating on him
He has a son who is Mentally Retarded and violent so he had to be placed outside the home and has never been able to meet our children due to the fact that he may hurt them
His youngest son is now in drug rehab (he is 15)
Our oldest daughter had open heart surgery when she was 4 days old.
His brother is a pedophile...but his mother chooses him over us and has never even seen our youngest daughter who will be 3 in May (he even molested his own brother, but that is not good enough for dear old mom)
So, needless to say the stress level gets pretty high at times. On Christmas Eve he had a fender bender with our car. He was given a ticket because he had not renewed his drivers license and it was past the 3 months grace period. Oh well, we never go anything in the mail but so be it. Not like we are made of money - it is so far from it. We haven't had any work done on the car yet because we were waiting to hear from the insurance company, and he was going to go and get his drivers license renewed today. We knew we had a headlight out due to the accident, but there was nothing we could really do about it until it had an estimate done. Doesn't it just figure he gets pulled over again last night. AND, he gets another $100 fine for the driver's license thing. Now that is a total of $170 in the last 2 weeks. We will go to court to fight the second one, but you start to wonder, why me?
We do have a lot to be thankful for, but this year has been pretty crappy to us so far. Hopefully things will look up soon:)

my hubby got 2 speeding tickets in one year, where we used to live, that meant an automatic license suspension !?! after a year, he tried to get it back, he called the state and they said, go to the capital and it should be no problem. for some reason, the people didnt beleive him that all he'd done was get speeding tickets (because he should have just been able to go to any station and get it renewed--he got bad info on the phone) -- after that he had to drive for work one day, i couldnt take him and he got pulled over for 'loud exhaust' yeah right -- his truck wasn't loud and he didnt do anything wrong, the cop just wanted to give tickets that day- no license meant a further 2 years of suspension, despite continually going back and being told no--- finally we had sat there all day one time and one of the older people that actually knew something got ahold of his record, and said, why havent you gotten your license back yet, should have had that back a long time ago, i'm sorry, here's your okay, you're free to go, go get your license. yeah, we were pissed 3 years out of a license because he sped twice. whatever. a**holes. i know what you mean.. sometimes you jsut can't win..
I think that's what happened here as well, the cop was just looking for a reason. My hubby practically begged the guy and he said "I can guarantee you aren't getting out of this without a warning". A**holes is right! We have been together 11 years and he has never had an accident or traffic ticket of any time. Sometimes you wonder, lol!
