What a long day

Welp...here it is, almost 6:00. So much for wanting to come home and spending a relaxing afternoon. As I mentioned, I had to work this morning...8-1. I thought I was going to be doing pretty good, as everything was caught up and done by noon, and my boss said I could go ahead and leave. That was great news! Naturally....there had to be something get in my way. There usually is! Kirk finally got his car done today and needed a ride to go pick it up. After i left work, I called Moriah, and told her to be ready, that I'd come get her, then we'd take Kirk to his car, and then head to Wal-Mart to exchange a ( bra) lol...that didn't fit her(too little...hehehehe wish I had that problem..lol). Well, needless to say, after going to get her, taking Tara-Lee to go pick up a Western Union, drop Kirk off at his car, go to wal-mart...spend $85 that I didn't really have, we finally got back home a little after 5! Then, to boot, I have to go pick up Lee from work in about 1 hr.As most of you know, a few weeks back, we were working on both of our cars, trying to get them up and running, and some problems fixed. We finally got that done, and things were going rather smoothly. Our Buick was running better than it has in years, and the gas mileage was GREAT! It was REALLY nice not having to take Lee to work every morning, and having to pick him up each night. Well, that luxury hasn't lasted long. My car, started acting up again...the same thing, about a month later. Any mechanics around that would have any idea what would cause a oxygen censor to go out/short out. We have put in two, and neither of them lasted over a month...so something is causing it to go out. So..my car runs, although horribly!!!!! It misses and jerks something awful!Yesterday we were at Landon's swimming. Lee left around 3:30 to head back to town, pick up his check, and cash it, then was headed back to Landon's for supper. He arrived at work. Picked up his check, went next door to the bank, and when he got in the car to leave...it wouldn't start!!!! He tried for over an hour to get it started with no luck...so we ended up having to have it towed home, to the tune of $40. As if we needed that!!!!! So now, here we are, back to only one car running...and not running right on top of that. I just don't know when it ever ends....all the crap, that is. I guess, we should be thankful that it happened yesterday, on payday, rather than the day before, or we would have been screwed. We wouldn't have even had the money to have it towed, and with it being parked downtown Columbia, if we didn't have it done...the city would have it done for us. So, thankfully, we at least had the money to take care of it. The guy that lives across the street from us, that drives a tow truck, is the one who came to get Lee. Lee rode with him to our house, where they dropped off the Buick, then he picked up my car, and came on out to Landon's. We have already dumped so much money in that car...now, who knows what is wrong with it, and how much more that will cost, on top of still trying to figure out what is causing mine to blow oxygen sensors! I'll tell ya, between car repair, and the price of gasoline....I'm about ready to get me a horse and buggy, like the Amish, or Mennonites. I know grass, feed, or hay for a horse has got to be a whole lot cheaper than trying to maintain a car. If it's not one thing...it's something else!!!!!But...it has been a beautiful, hot, sunny day...which I loooooove! So...I guess I really don't have much to complain about. There are sure some with worse problems than cars that don't run right.I guess I'll head out of here for a bit. I'm going to leave a little early, and run some negatives by Wal-Mart.....again! Moriah had some of her pictures developed from the last day of school. We had then put on CD, but when we got home and put the CD in, there wasn't anything on it. So, I called, and they told me to bring them back by, and they'd do it again. I'm not sure what happened, but there wasn't a thing on the disc....empty as it could be! Once I drop that off, I'll run pick up Lee, then back to Wal-Mart, they said it would only take about 20 mins., and then head back home to the cool, AC. It's so hot here, I don't even want to cook, so we're doing a fruit plate...frest strawberries, bananas, oranges, cantelope, peaches, and apples. We also have cottage cheese to go with it, and I made some tuna salad...it's always good on crackers, and makes for a nice coooooool supper. I sure don't want to turn the stove or oven on, with the temp. the way it is outside. It's just so hot, you don't even feel like cookin'! So...I'll leave you all for now, but will be back later tonight to spend time with you all.Hope you had a GREAT day! Talk to you all soon!

Much love,
