Because, I've never been known for my great driving skills.

I've been teased all of my life for the way that I drive.

I'm not really the most 'alert' driver and I know this is a major downfall but I wouldn't say that I am a bad driver. About 8 years ago a kid ran right out in front of me (so, not my fault) and it caused me to 'tap' him with my bumper. Ever since then? I've been known as the lady-who-hits-kids.

I constantly freak Becca out when she rides with me because she doesn't think I know how to stop, and Lee has a handful of stories he could tell of me scaring the crap out of him.

Well, a few days ago I did something that helped damage my already patchy driving history.

I have gotten really used to backing out of my driveway without looking. I normally park in front of the house and Lee parks in front of the shed (which is behind me.) During the day his Jeep is never home so I rarely look behind me. I guess this has become a really bad habit because the other night I was leaving and forgot that Lee was home and... BAM!

I obviously realized right away what happened. I got out to check and in my honest opinion - the damage wasn't bad. Lee however, was pretty pissed. (Can't say I blame the guy. I did HIT his rig.)

He got over it but I know he won't forget it.

He already cracked a joke about it yesterday and I know this guy... there are many more where that one came from.
