~The Daily Grind~ 12/2/09

Okay- so I go to drive out to the store and realize as I get on the road that there is a problem with my transmission. I come back to the house and get my brother's car(I don't drive Dh's truck). DH looks at while I am at the store. Looks like we may have to have the transmission rebuilt- he is going to try and call a shop and see what they have to say about things. I may be getting a new car for Christmas- depending on the cost of the transmission.

Right now I am hoping Daniel will let me borrow his car to go to Tampa for the Expo on Friday.

Sorry to hear about the car problems, but you lucky girl, you! Puts my little pile of Christmas goodies to shame! (Will your new car fit under the tree? )

I doubt it will fit under the tree- it will be a new to me car instead of a new to everyone car though. We only do a small tree on a tabletop- easier with the dogs and doesn't take as many ornaments.

My FIOS is down!!! I spent an hour on the phone with tech support...need a repairguy out tomorrow...GRRR!! Appt from 1-5...

So, DH will have to do the repairguy watch, I'm working! Let me just say that dial-up is soooooo annoying! And it's not fast enough to run facebook apps either... Gonna lost a whole crop of rice, sell out of all my food, my fish are gonna die It's a disaster!!

Nan- Glad PJ is doing well with the driving the first day! We still don't let DS17 drive with more than 1 friend in the car unless there is a call home. And in the begining, I needed to know who it was and if their parent said it was ok to drive with my kid...

RLW- Hope DH is feeling better! Sorry about the car. Transmission stuff just stinks!

DIT- Poor DS having to use Nair and shave!

State law will not allow her to drive w/ friends for 180 days (6 months)... YEAH!!!!! We told her if she were to even attempt the short drive to help out, she would have a long WALK to school!!!

She did well tonight, tends to hug the right side of the road, too much for my comfort level and at night... (I was behind here) so we discussed that and how to correct that... She does need to work on parking between the lines... she tends to hug one side... but that is all about practice!!!!

I'm very proud because she did text like she was supposed too...

I need to go make my list for tomorrow... I need to get some serious stuff done..as next week I need to start wrapping while kids are at school.. I'm not going to be wrapping the week before.. I want it DONE!

He was shaving his legs last night!

The things one will do with his eye on Broadway.

I took Princess to her H1N1 clinic last night - it was mental, and we were there for nearly an hour and a half. I ended up getting a migraine once I got home and fell into bed around 7:00 last night. Sucks.

Jennifer, that is horrible. When I volunteered at our H1N1 clinic, people were in and out within 15 minutes. Sorry it was so choatic for you.

That happened to us one year. We had to get a new car nine days before Christmas.

Nan, I give you credit. I am not sure my nerves could have handled watching my baby drove off to school the day after getting her license. Good for you!

I swear it's something to do with the town, every time there is something like this going on, it is complete chaos. No wonder I had a migraine!
