Yesterday started off as any other day, actually better than most because I was heading to a job I actually enjoy doing and not the one I dread even thinking about.
First, the car that I’m borrowing (thank you Mom & Dad) decided to overheat. Late to work. Don’t put in a full day at the end of which I get the results of my car problems. Two small leaks in very hard to reach places, requiring an estimated $600 to repair. LOVELY!
Come home and find out that we’re in trouble with my son’s school because he’s been late so many times. Punctuality has never been a strong suit for our family as a whole. Still adjusting to both of us working full-time, and many mornings due to my schedule I have to leave Kim home by herself to get everyone up, and ready for school or the babysitter. Thank you Kim for everything you’re doing and your patience in getting through this sucky time in our lives. Kim is not very happy (to be polite) about her current employment. I wish I could work it out so she can stay at home again and just be mom and wife.
To close the evening, Kim calls me around 10:00pm from drama practice at church and says the van won’t start. Has to have her dad come and get her and bring her home. That’s right, two cars with problems in one night.
