Alright, I know that I am going to find out that I am a soap character or something and someone is writing incredible fiction which is my life. So all I can do is laugh. I coveted this little car my friend's wife drove. Toyota, great shape, had another 100,000 on it. My friend got sick and didn't get around to getting his wife a new car for a while but finally a few months ago I got it. I had been driving it but a few weeks ago somehow hubby and I switched and I got the van. Anyway, it's been very cold here. And yesterday he opened the oil tank and forgot to put the lid on. After all, he is a bit distracted. Arraignment, loss of job etc. well, he went to start the car today and the engine froze. No more car. He quickly figured out what he had done. I jumped out of bed and dressed, brushed teeth and grabbed an apple all within ten minutes and took him to work as he was late. I stopped at the mechanic (my new guy) and told him about it. He was pretty sure it was bad but thought it was worth towing it in to look at it. It is gone. During the day today hubby found out that since there were no charges filed against him at the arraignment, that he could keep his job for the rest of the school year. That was a relief because it would hurt the kids to lose him like that. Anyway, I had to tell hubby that the car was dead. He felt awful. I am laughing and saying it's not jail or death, it's a piece of metal. We paid $500.00 for it from my friend. So poor hubby walked about 2 miles to my daughter's work place and took her car home as I was 30 miles away retrieving the other daughter. We then drove BACK into town so that we could bring her her car so I wouldn't have to go out late. he is at play practice. We used to manage fine on one car? Spoiled huh? We live 17 miles from nowhere. And it IS funny. It is funny that life keeps throwing me these curve balls. It is hysterical. Roll and laugh and be greatful we are healthy and together.
