LOL MM yes, I know. I worked out, planned dinner, did four loads of laundry, supervised the kids chores, laid out clothes for SS and thought about what I need to take out for dinner tomorrow. DH changed a bike tire. BIKE, not car. He's so proud of himself!

That woman was blessed!I hope the 18 wheeler was ticketed and had the truck impounded.

It was actually quite terrifying. When it was done and over and we were leaving the store we looked back at it. The 18 wheeler wasn't even damaged. That poor ladies car was beyond totaled. To see it happen is... I don't have a word for it. The sights and sounds of it. They stay with you. She's so lucky to be alive.

OMG, DH and I went to the grocery store to use our bonus points on gas in the Jeep and get one thing I needed to pick up. We were standing there filling up when an 18 wheeler ran a light and plowed over a Honda. We ran over to help the woman. Car was totaled. I mean almost in half. He took the front part of the car off the car. Other than soreness there were no obvious injuries. She said she had back pain and a finger hurt. If that truck had hit the drivers side door she likely would have been dead. The truck driver was driving without a license. The whole thing was terrifying. It makes you realize how precious life is and how quickly it can be taken away.

I'm glad she's ok!

When we see things like this, we have to think, at least a little, "There but for the grace of God, go I"

How scary.

I'm glad she wasn't badly hurt.

Those kind of accidents are scary even when you are not involved.

I must have really lucked out in the DH department. He just does the chores around here that need to be done. He mops, vacuums, cleans the bathroom, dusts, whatever needs to be done. We share the cooking and the cleaning up. He does his own laundry. He parented his child and never babysat him.

jlbear, sometimes he's really really super good about stuff. He'll get up and do things without asking. He goes out of his way to do things. But then there are days where I am bustling around the house doing things and he seems like he goes out of his way to get in my way. He doesn't do it on purpose but it's aggravating. Also, I think I've been aggravated lately. He likes to eat the same couple dishes every couple days. I get tired of it. I think I just need to be more assertive at times. But then I think I don't want to be the wife that tells her husband how it's going to be constantly.
