Well.... it's been awhile, but I've had one of those days this week. Monday...not too bad, gov't boliday for me, so woohoo, time at home. Tuesday, not too bad either most of the day; however, ballgame got rained out, kids were in a bad mood...didn't get any sleep because of the silly dogs. Tuesday.... started out not too bad, talked to an old friend, work was cool; however, got home, got everyone ready for the (rescheduled) ballgame, met Jason at the postoffice.... now comes the kicker, 15 mintues into the drive, the car starts acting up, feels a little funny... come upon a redlight, car dies, games starts in 30 minutes and no transportation, good news is my grandparents are on their way to the game also and stop to give us a ride, get to the game, my son's in bad mood because he's late, pouts the whole game, none of the boys are into it, we lose to a weaker team, all is good though, the season is over and i'm ready for a break, so worse part is we think we have a car that needs a new fuel pump, ride home in the back of pick-up truck (yeah, i know.... redneck), perfect ending to a perfect day... we get home and the house is hot as hades, the air conditioner is OUT (not working, no cooling air blowing through my ducts); Thursday..... get up to go check on my car, take my stepdad because he's the mechanic, check the car... he and Jason fiddle around can't find anything wrong, car starts this morning, so I attempt to drive it home.... don't even make it out of the parking lot and car dies again, stepdad begins checking other things and finds water in my oil.... BAD NEWS!! Looks like we have a blown head gasket, warped head, or cracked block (in my car which I still owe ALOT of money on) call around.... best case scenario $400.... worst case scenario $2600.... not to mention the A/C repair man hasn't even checked out my unit yet..... then things start looking a little better, stepdad discovers that engines like mine often blow a little gasket under the manifold which could cause my problem, plus, stepdad feels like not much damage has been done to the engine because i didn't run it much after the intial stall out (which means my price for repair should be closer to $400 than $2600, then the A/C man comes and replaces a tiny fuse, cleans the system, and leaves with my pockets only being $50.00 lighter (much better than I expected)
whew, it's been a rollercoaster of a week, you guys keep your fingers crossed that all goes well! the house has cooled down, let's just hope my car can be running again for less then a grand
oh yeah.... WOOHOOOOOO, I got a promotion at work last week... hasn't sunk in quite yet because I haven't really started my new duties, we'll see how it goes
