Mom Did It Again!!!!!

Janet · 07-17-2010, 03:59 AM

Thanks ladies. Diana...you are hilarious! Last year or the year before...she banged up the whole side of her car and half of one side of her camper. She can't hear well, can't see out of one eye well so she really doesn't need to be pulling anything..or driving at all really.

Oh Janet, we went through this with Mike's dad! This is the PERFECT time. Get in touch with the police you talked to..or someone in that department. They will tell your mom that it's unsafe for her to pull a camper, but she CAN drive her car. You would feel awful if she really hurt a person.

That's a good idea, Betsi, to have the police tell her. Then she can beat them up!!!!

Wow! I'm so glad that your Mom or anyone else wasn't hurt Janet but I must say that when I read this........I couldn't keep from laughing.

Diana.....you crack me up too!!

I also agree with Betsi. Let the cops be the ones to tell her.

We tried to get Mom to let us come and help her bring the camper home, but she wouldn't hear of it. Said she could make it home just fine. She was used to pulling it and we weren't. She made it home just fine by 10 AM. All the campers in her group thought it best they leave early because of the heat and the storms that were predicted for the afternoon.

She called and let me know she made it home okay, but her camper was a little crooked in the drive. Rick and I drove in town to help her straighten it and to help her unload. She sure had angels watching out for her because Rick pulled the car/camper up so he could back it straighter for her and the brake line blew. He crawled under the car to check it out and the brake line was rusted real bad and finally just blew out. Brake fluid all over the driveway. Thank God they didn't go out while she was on her way home.

Tomorrow, I have to take Mom to the kidney center and then when we come home...we'll have to get her car somewhere to be fixed. Well you know what they say..."life would be a bowl of cherries if it wasn't for the pits".

Oh wow!!! She sure had angels watching over her!!! That could have been really bad to have the brakes go out with the camper!!! Your Mom is so independent that not being about to take the camper out when she wants to is going to be hard.......but at least she'll still be able to drive. I bet that with you driving the school bus that it wouldn't be hard to pull the camper where she wants it.
