Day 8 of Give Thanks
It is Friday right? *breathes deep* GOOD!!!
That in itself is something to be thankful for…especially after THIS week!! Oh boy!
I’m sure that y’all have been in the situation where things just keep going in the wrong direction and no matter what you do, you just can’t seem to stop the process.
That pretty much sums up the past few weeks for me.
I just got done spending over $900 to fix my mom’s car…and then had to shell out another $1200 for body work to be done on it from the little accident that she had earlier this summer…and then, well…the transmission went out on my minivan this last Wednesday.
Guess how much it cost me to get it replaced…
Try $2300!!!
As if I have that just lying around somewhere!
Anyway…now I’m REALLY in debt…which sucks by the way.
(just though that I’d mention that part)
So…I’m a bit glad for this week to be over.
However, can any of you loan me some money?
It’s okay…I’m sure that after a couple of these
tonight…I’ll just look past it all and move on!!
Have a great weekend y’all!!!

You have a great weekend, too, sweetie!
Wait… wasn’t yesterday Day 7, making this Day 8?
Thanks honey…I fixed it!!

Ouch. My transmission croaked the evening Jason and I froze in the nosebleed section of the Atlanta Stadium for a Braves Game 3 years ago. Then a year ago it was like the same amount to maybe fix it again, but I managed to dodge that one. Now I just try to stay under 60ish mph, since it doesn’t seem to leak much at that rate. Usually.
I fortunately haven’t been nailed on any huge expenses lately, but too many smallish ones are creeping up. I’m probably going to have spend some phone money when I seriously start calling my brother’s friends and his lawyer to see if they know anything new about him. And at work they want me to get steel toed shoes for my outside work. Oh yeah! Me in Man Boots! But that’s like 40-50ish? Grumble.
{{{{{ maria }}}}}} hugs seem to be in order here…
weeks that seem to have one bad thing happen after another just suck! Mines just been work!!
But hey its the weekend, relax, enjoy, look at the kids and look at Jason….and then….that ought to make all the bad things in the past week…vanish.
Hi! I’m really sorry to hear about all the money you have been spending on car care lately! Geesh, I’d have been broke about fixing your mom’s car!
Thank for you subscribing to me! I hope I don’t bore you too bad. I haven’t been very consistent lately with posting or commenting unless you count being consistently not consistent! Hehe!! I hope to be better soon!
I love your site – it’s very cool!!
I love the weekend. The only thing I don’t like?
Laundry Day. Sure, you get to rid yourself of the “backup” set of undies, but the folding, the washing, the rinse cycle…….it’s just pure HELL!
Spotthecat1 sent me over to say hi.
I hope the car problems stop! Cars can be so annoying!
You have a beautiful site and I love the title – “The Joy of Being Me!” What a great thought!
‘guess we all go through that bad days.. hehehe.. good to hear your done & over with.. awww!! u burnt yer pocket.. but i know you can manage.. Take care!!
I’ve not been around reading anyone’s site for awhile…you have taken an interesting approach for the month of November – I like it. It’s always good to reflect and think about things you are thankful for. I’m sorry to hear about your car troubles…things will work out – they always do in the end…
