A Near Death Experience
Wednesday, August 16th, 2006I am a mother of three - I have two boys and a beautiful little girl. They can be a real handful at times. I take care of my children by myself for the most part. I split up with my husband a couple of years ago, and nowadays I m lucky if he takes them for a weekend every two weeks. To be honest I don t think he s capable of having them for more than two days a fortnight. Financially he helps a bit, but it s basically up to me to make sure that I have enough money to provide for myself and my kids. I have a decent job, and we get by.
My job sees me driving a lot. I have 60 miles to drive to get to work in the morning, and 60 miles again to drive home. I drive fast some people say too fast, but it s never bothered me in the past - I consider myself a very good driver. But an incident last week made me consider things in a whole different light.
It was a normal morning s drive to work. I drive along the bypass at 70 mph after dropping the kids at the pre-school club. I m always in a rush, afte (more...)
