Good News...I went out of town by myself today. My husband kept the kids and helped them with school. I was able to get some things purchased for Tucker, who is going to be traveling a lot in the near future. He is going to a boy scout leadership training for two weekends and to Teen Pact for a week. He is going to be a tired young man!
Bad News...I had to go because my 6 1/2 year old car was having trouble. We were smelling oil, we thought, and it was making a funny noise. This is not going to be a cheap repair. Something about the drive shaft and leaking transmission fluid. At least it can be repaired.
More Good News...they will have it repaired tomorrow and they let me drive a Toyota Highlander home from the dealership today. It is always fun to drive a new car for a few days.
It was nice to not have to be responsible for anyone but me today.
I bought the girls some solid t-shirts at Tar*get today for $4.99. I was excited about the price. Well, Hannah was NOT happy that I told her she could not wear it tomorrow to play outside. They are painting these big boxes they have made into houses and we don't need paint all over their new shirts. Oh well, I guess she will recover from being angry with me, as usual.
After I returned, we took the kids to the pool in my rental car which is really too small for seven, but we squeezed in with 5 kids, 5 swim bags and 5 mesh swim equipment bags. It was pretty funny, like a can of sardines. After swim team, the kids had pizza and movie and my husband and I had quick dinner date. It was nice.
I guess I will travel the hour one way again tomorrow to pick up my car. I wonder if I will be by myself again?
