Spent Saturday around the house and then went out to dinner, Rick, me, Lexie and Kaylie. Kodi worked out of town and Lindsay was at her job. It was good to get out. We found a car place that would help Lindsay get her first car.
Kodi had two speeding tickets in March, 4 days apart from each other by the same police officer. (When Kodi told me I said right then and there, "You'd better call your Sister and tell her to drive careful because if anything else happens you will likely lose your cars!)
Then Lindsay was driving on a Sunday when a deer ran into her drivers side mirror then flew across the hood of her car. (mirror destroyed) On a Tuesday she was rear ended! Rick could tell they would total her car, but she'd just put money in it and the trunk would close. He was going to doctor it up and let her keep driving until it fell apart.
That plan was short lived, because on a wet rainy day she then rear ended someone! 3 Car accidents in the first 12 days of April!
Rick went completely nuts! (For once I wasn't the raving lunatic) He said, "I'm done, you both can get your own cars, your own insurance, I'm Done!" It was Heavenly! I never really wanted the to give the kids cars (old junkers Rick fixed up) because I wanted them to learn responsibility.
Kodi got his car, and the hunt was on for Lindsay's.
I felt relieved this car sharing, dragging my stuff out of this car, her stuff out of my car or Ricks truck...just so relived that she has wheels!
I'm worried for both Lindsay and Kodi, having car and insurance payments, but it will be good for them. It will be good for them and for all of us!
