A swing and miss at the curve ball of life

Posted in Redwood Living at 7:53 am by Lynette

Why is it when things are going really good you get thrown a curve ball?  Yesterday was spent knitting a stupid hat because that is about all I could muster in the way of concentration and energy.  It doesn’t seem to matter weather the dd or ds wear the hat….it still looks stupid.  It is called a Hallowig and the pattern is available through Knitty.

I guess if you had a boy that wanted to be a Knight for Halloween this would work for that under the helmet head covering.  How many 12.5 year old boys would let you take this picture?  Maybe I should save it for show and tell to the future girl friends.  This pretty much sums up just how ‘weird’ I am.

On to the curve ball.  My DuH (no I did not make a typo I meant to type duh not dh for dear husband) did something stupid while deer hunting this past weekend  No one was hurt, no trucks were damaged as in past years and he did make it home OK.  But HE will be paying for this for the next 5 years with increased auto insurance rates, court fees and lawyer fees.  He will have a ‘turd in his jacket’ (the not so polite term for a ‘you were a bad boy’ letter) for the next 3 years and I will probably have to drive him to work for at least the next 3 months.  He can find his own way home as far as I’m concerned.  I say he will have to pay for it because he will have to work the overtime.  My yarn business will not pay for his stupidity.  A friend of mine said after adding up what the projected increase in financial impact will be to him I am entitled to go out and spend about $5,000.  Hmmm, that is a lot of yarn!

So we’re off to the attorney today to see just what the damages will be.  The only reason I’m going is because I want to hear for myself .  The DuH tends to forget important facts to lessen the blow.  Or perhaps you could say he is denial.  My goal for the next 3 months is to find out who those guys were he was with so I can have a nice little chat with THEIR wives and thank them for leaving my DuH to hitch hike back 100 miles to his truck in the middle of the night on I-5.  Thanks guys!
