The reason Mondays have a bad rap
First things first. I get a call from my parents' Realtor letting me know that any minute some buyers are going to come look at the house. Even though I was promised I wouldn't have to show the house while they are on vacation--that information was lost in translation. I wasn't very happy about having to leave right then and there for an hour and a half. Especially knowing the house was in no shape to be shown to potential buyers.
I was literally harassed by some random, strange woman who is spazzing out about wanting more stamps from my Mom. I guess she was supposed to get a call from my Mom before they left for Mirror Lake...so she starts calling ME. The problem is that she called me way too many times in one day. And each time she called I was on the phone with someone important so the conversation was getting bleeped and blipped from the call waiting. It's cool--I didn't need to know what my diabetes doctor was telling me anyway... Seriously lady, leave me a lone. They're stamps. It can wait.
Then I get a call and 3 texts from Danny who is stranded. Again. The Pontiac is on it's last leg. He ended up trying to get a jump from a co-worker (which didn't work) and then was towed back to his work parking lot by another nice co-worker. I was stuck here since I had to pick up the carpool and now that we're dealing with more than just Cole, I can't just check him out a few minutes early and leave. Grrr. So we spent $90 on a new car battery in hopes that it was just the battery. But that didn't work. At all. We drove home last night in the Mazda feeling frustrated and this morning, the Pontiac was towed by Shannon's husband to a mechanic. I'm not willing to more than a couple hundred bucks into this POC. It's been a good car for us...but I think it's time to lay it to rest. It's not reliable, has no A/C and is a money pit. Which is perfect for us right now.
This is honestly the last thing I needed right now. I'm already freaking out about where we're going to live and bring this baby "home" to and now our car is on the fritz. We just can't keep putting money into something this old but we haven't had to make a car payment for YEARS and that is going to be a huge shock to our budget.
I know life could be worse right now and I really am trying to find the positive in each situation we are faced with but pregnancy is making it tricky for me to be rational and sane. Darn those hormones.
