    I made enough as company driver to cover all of our bills. I go full o/o next month.

    How ever, my wife has her own business. Technically, I'm the one who doesnt have to work. I work because I cant sit around and not contribute. Plus this way I may eventually make more money than she does.

    My wife deflated a couple months ago, so I'm forced to work this weekend to replace her. WHAT?

    If she hasn't worked the last 4 years, don't expect her to get started anytime in the next 4 years. If you don't believe me just read the quote from the guy below on the next line.

    My wife works way to hard taking care of me and our boy to go find a job. Figure if I can't pay the bills then we have too many bills. Besides my truck is a 99, almost a full time job running parts for me....... :biggrin_2559:
