Starting our day off with a little basketball.
Nap time before date night!!
We then dropped off Garrett at Josh & Alisha's and headed out to Houston High School to watch my Nephew in the play Sleepy Hollow. I have to say this is one of the best High School plays I have ever been to. They all did a wonderful job!!
My Nephew Josh played a Ghost Pirate. He did so good!!
Transformer boy jamming to the music in the truck :)
Helping Daddy cook. Well sort of......
So today Tuesday Nov 7, 2017 was just another day. I picked up Kayley from school and decided to take the back way to pick up Garrett. We had brake lights in front of us and I was slowing down to stop. We were almost to a complete stop when I noticed the person coming up behind me wasn't slowing down at all. That is when I told Kayley to hold on, we were about to get hit. Ugh, yep she rear ended us. I looked over at Kayley and asked her if she was ok. She said yes and the people who's house we were hit in front of said that we could pull our vehicles in their driveway. I pulled in and again asked Kayley if she was ok. The people had called 911 and police were on their way. I got out to take pictures and to speak with the police officer about what happened. He took my information as well as our insurance information. My mom's car was damaged but not to the point where it wasn't drive-able. The other person's car.....not so much. The officer spoke to her and she gave him her insurance information as well. The officer told us we could go so we left to go get Garrett.
I continued to ask Kayley if she was ok and she continued to tell me yes. I was concerned because the woman that hit us, hit us pretty hard. I contacted my mom's insurance company to let them know what happened. They said because it was the other persons fault their insurance would be the one to cover it.
Now I'm going to get on a soapbox.....
About 1 week later we heard back from the insurance company. Unfortunately the other person had let their insurance lapse and we would have to pay the deductible because the other person did in fact not have insurance. WTF!!!!!! I was pissed. Why are people so stupid to not have insurance, and why are they driving without it? Needless to say I contacted the DMV to see what could be done about this because in the state of Ohio it is a law. They said I could fill out some information and send it in and if what I said proved to be true they would have their licenses suspended and would not be able to re-instate their license until they made restitution. The person driving the vehicle as well as the owner of the vehicle. So needless to say, this information will be getting sent in.
Thankfully none of us was hurt in this accident. I wish people would think though, and get off their phones!! I'm almost 99.9% sure this woman was on her phone when she hit us. She was looking down at something and I'll never forget the look on her face as she looked up and realized she was about to hit us. Thankfully Garrett wasn't with us, and I've already replaced his car seat with a new one.
I just wish people would pay better attention when driving, make sure you have insurance and just be good people in general. Is it really that hard??
