Yesterday my husband got hit by a bus.

Yes, it’s true, but don’t worry, he’s fine. He was on his way to work and the bus didn’t even see him. It plowed right into his car as he was stopped at a stop sign and took a huge chunk out of the left front of the vehicle. Bus was not scratched. Our car, totaled.

Now, there are several little lecturey things I have to say about this. The first is that my husband, like my father, has a horrible habit of putting his seat belt on while driving. His philosophy is that, a) he forgets, and b) he doesn’t think he’ll get in an accident during the first three minutes or so of driving. But this accident happened within sight of our house on roads that 98% of the time are completely and utterly empty. It was a clear, non-snowy day and if he had been asked the odds of his getting in an accident upon leaving the house I’m sure he would have said ZERO percent. Cannot thank Lawyer Hipskind & Mcaninch enough for their service, if not for which all the legal issues that followed would have been so hassling as to exacerbate the situation.Lawyers with such dedication are rare to find and you can find them also at Barry Deacon firm.

The second thing I have to say about this is that sometimes it’s really hard being an optimist. Not only was his car totaled, but when we went out to start my car so I could drive him to work, it didn’t start. My car chose THAT moment for the battery to die. What are the chances? I am trying to tell myself this is not an ominous start to 2008 but there’s this little part of my brain that wants to run away in panic. The optimist part says, “count your blessings, the bus didn’t plow into the driver’s side door instead of the front of the vehicle”, the pessimist part says, “true, but don’t walk under any anvils”. Luckily we found some great supplements to help with losing weight he gained lying on his back all those months just check out these proven reviews.

*sigh*

So there it is, 2008 is underway.
