Well, I guess I finally have something to say. Last friday it was raining, really hard. It was 10:00pm and I was waiting for my husband (type person), Chris, to come home. I was pissed. He called at 10:20 something. He was in an wreck. He totaled his work truck and got a DUI. Someone cut him off, he swerved and hit a concrete pylon infront of a restuarant. He was wearing his seat belt and his airbag diployed. He was not given a field sobriety test ( due to the fact that it was an accident and he would have been disoriented anyway) and he was not given an breathalizer, I guess becuase his chest hurt from the airbag. He also hurt his arm pretty bad. He was arrested at 10:37pm. He was transported by ambulance to the hospital. He was not give any x-rays and it took them almost 5 hours to draw blood to get a blood alchol level.(we still don't know what his BAC was) Then he was taken to jail. The next morning, I had to take my kids down to the jail and see if I could get him out. None of this phased my soon to be three year old, it really took its toll on my soon to be nine year old. My daughter woke up that saturday morning with a full on migraine, I know they are inherited but I was hoping she wouldn't have to go though the misery.I think just because she was asleep didn't mean her mind didn't process what was going on and the stress caused it. Anyway, there we are at the county jail, we go in to session and my son starts to get nervous, so we had to leave the court room. I was upset but he's only 2, he was scared. So we wait and his case gets called and I'm standing at the door watching and so in my daughter, trying so hard to just stand , not to throw up and not pass out. Lucky for us he was released on a PR bond and got out a couple hours later. I wish this is where the story ends.

  After all of this, I took the kids to my mothers, then I took Chris, back to the hospital. The triage nurse was kind of stuned to learn they had not taken x-rays when he was there previously, so he had some take then. Unfortunatly, the soft tissues and ligaments were so swollen by this time it was impssible to tell if anything was broken. Now he has to see an orthopedic doctor. I made an appointment for him and he goes today he should be there now.

   Now his court date is on thursday the 27th ( which just happens to be my so's birthday, nice, right). The fine is $992 cash or bond , he looses his license for six months and in this state a DUI is a felony. I started in on him the second he got home. GET A LAWER!

   He had been drinking but drinking and being legally drunk are not the same thing. Improper medical care while under the care and custody of the poilce department, being arrested for a DUI five hours before BAC was take, poor weather conditions and there are witnesses to the accident. GET A LAWYER! This is his first offense. So, mister head hung down like a dying animal whatcha gonna do about it. If he does nothing the fall out is massive. Not only does he pay almost a thousand dollars to the county, he's out of a license for six months and has a felony on his record but then when he goes to get his license back he has to pay reinstatment fees and SR-22 driving insurance. ( plus with the felony comes the whole no guns, no voting, no other felons, etc.) So basiclly, you just fuck yourself and your familly.

   Wendnesday rolls around. Lucky he hasn't been fired from his job, because his boss didn't want to be a hipocrite (being that he could make the same mistake any other day of the week), he calls me from work and asks me to call a lawyer ( I knew one, I had used once for a different matter). Remind you all that since this has happened I have been on Chris's ass asking him what he was going to do. I didn't realize this was all my problem, yet I am the one making appointments, calling lawyers, driving kids back and forth, getting him to work and so on and so forth. I'm the one THINKING!  So I called the lawyer. He's a really good guy. ( I called a few more, just in case) He cut his fee in half. FOR ME! $1500 OMG How the hell are we going to afford this and Chris says he'll figure it out. RIGHT! (my mother) ME ME ME. Thats a loan with high ass intrest!                                                                                                                                                  

   Anyway, we meet with the lawyer on monday and from the little bit I told him, he thinks he may be able to get the charges dismissed but he would request a jury trial (yikes).

    So the point of all of this my friends is this, I don't drink, don't drink and drive but I can do it all and fix it all I'm very very tired and I want to cry and have no tears.

          Bye for now, I have to get ready to go to work. I'm still just a waitress.........................
