One of those weeks

Ohhh what a week!!!  I need to take a breather from a breather.  It's been one of those times when everything goes wrong at the same time.    To top the list my oldest daughter's car's breaks gave out while she was on the highway.  Thankfully she managed to get the car pulled over without hurting herself or anyone else.  

* I am thankful for the Maryland Transportation Police officer who helped her until her dad could get there.

Once the car was home we realized that not only had the break lines rusted but the whole undercarriage is rusted also.  Since she works full time outside of the house I've been lending her my Jeep until we find her a new car.  I don't mind..   If I really need it I'll just drop her off at work like I did on Friday. 

Yes,  Friday was great. I knew that I had a busy day ahead so I dropped Michelle at work and did some early Halloween browsing at Target and paint shopping at Lowes.  I treated myself to breakfast and picked up a pretty wreath at Michaels before I headed home to pick Sally up.   Sally had someplace that she needed me to drive her and while she was there I was going to do some much needed grocery shopping ~ our cabinets were on empty.    Poor sally,  we didn't even get out of my neighborhood before my Jeep started acting crazy.   One car payment left and every light on the dash starts flashing and the car would not accelerate over 5 mph and barely made it up the hill to home.  Let me say that again.  ONE CAR PAYMENT LEFT. 

* I am thankful that neither of my girls were driving it when it happened.

So now,  as my car is still in the shop ( of course it would happen on a weekend)  we are down to one vehicle.  The OLD Ford truck that belonged to Paul's father.  Go figure. 

This all combined with Sally's wisdom teeth bothering her,  Paul's inconceivable work schedule, Michelle breaking up with her boyfriend,  someone spilling a gallon of water on their bed, Mechanics not calling when they say they will,  commitments canceled,  uber payments,  telephone buzzing non stop....

It's no wonder I laughed when the lady from Safeway called to tell me that my bank card was declined for my online grocery bill.  

*  Although it's a pain in the ass..  I am thankful for our banks fraud department who froze my card until I could verify my grocery bill.

Good news.  The mechanic finally called to inform us on the tests he will perform on the jeep on Monday. 

My groceries were delivered.

In a few days,  Paul is off for a whole 2 days.

The new door was installed the other day and looks amazing.

My neighbor let me borrow is car to get Michelle to and from work.

Lastly,  we haven't suffered nervous break downs ~ yet.

However I have about 20 margarita's planned for my immediate future.  : )

*It could be worse..  I am thankful for every sane moment that I find. 

Hope that everyone is having a great weekend!!!
