My day from hell

Ok so to start out today I got Isaac and Jackson up to go to school. Well Isaac for some reason started to flip out for no reason what so ever. He threw a fit all the way to the bus stop. Needless to say I was more then happy to see him get on that bus and be off. Well I go to get back in my car put it into drive and move a foot before it sputters and dies AAAAAAAAAAHHHHHHHHHHH. So I try to start it again. Same thing sputters and dies. So I call Marc and he comes to pick me up. We call a tow company and have them tow it to a shop. They say they will be there in 1 hour. Marc then takes me to my doctor appointment. Everything is going great. I did gain 5 yes 5 lbs in 2 weeks. Not sure this is good but hey atleast I am gaining weight. Well after my appoinment we stop by the church were my car was to see if its been picked up (its been a little over an hour). Its still sitting there. I call the tow company they say the tow guy will be there in 15 minutes. So Marc takes me home and heads back to work. Well he passes by the auto shop were the car should be by now (it took up a good 25 minutes to get home) and the car is not there. So I call the tow company and they say the car was just picked up (2 hours after I first called). Well I then call the auto shop and let them know the car is on the way and they said they would run a diagnostic and call me and let me know. Well they called and they said it would cost 1,425.00 to fix. No way in hell. So we call somewere else and they tell us 800.00. So yeat again another tow fee and another diagnosis. We still havent heard from them but hopefully it will be better then the first. The bad news is we were supposed to go to Pleasant Grove for Hunters soccer game tomorrow and then to my parents house in provo tomorrow night. Then on sunday we were supposed to go to Marcs parents house. Well we cant all fit into Marcs car. So now my dad who is flying in from Charlotte NC after a business thing will pick up Haylie at 11pm tonight and take her home with him. Then tomorrow one of my parents will bring her home. Then on sunday Haylie will go with her dad while the rest of us go up to Marcs parents house for dinner. So luckly we got that all worked out. But once again AAAAAAAAHHHHHHHHHH why is it that when I think I can get ahead I get screwed by a car.

  1. I'm sorry. It seems like a lot of people are having car trouble these days. I'm glad David knows how to fix cars. It's saved us a lot of head aches. As far as not having a car have you checked with your insurance? Our insurance covers a rental car for things like this. I hope you have a better day.
