I will never understand all that goes into cars but I am so thankful for the people that do. Our Ford Taurus decided to overheat and nearly explode recently. Thankfully my husband, father in law and friend all know how to take apart car and put it back together again. Four and half hours later last night the men came in feeling very discouraged. I'm not even going to try and explain why the water pump still wasn't working after replacing it because I'm sure I would have it all wrong. They all tried to explain it to me but speaking car is liking speaking another language. I just nodded my head and said "oh ok." Thankfully we also have a car shop literally located 2 doors down. We took the Taurus there this morning and badda bing badda boom, ($270 dollars later) we have our car back.
I'm just so elated that I don't have to keep hitching rides with people. It made me feel really sorry for many of the parents in my program. We have a Back to School event tonight at work and many of our mothers are scrambling to find transportation so that their children can benefit from free backpacks and school supplies. I was going crazy without our second car and it was less than 48 hours. These parents have to "hitch rides" on a daily basis. Just another little lesson in life to teach me to count my blessings and to stop whining when I don't have my normal luxuries.
So that's my thought for today. I've decided to begin this blog not because I have such an interesting life that I think everyone should read about, but simply because I enjoy writing, I have more time since I've finished school, and it will be fun to look back on these posts a few years down the line. So enjoy.
