I now have a car for sale as over the weekend I purchased myself a new one (well, no new, but new to me). So now I have to sell my old car so I will have some money to pay off my new one. Although I owe quite a bit of money on the new car, I would still rather have it then the old one. So if you know of anyone who is looking for a slightly used 1996 Dodge Stratus, I have one for sale.
I knew I was probably going to have to purchase a new vehicle this year, but I thought I had at least a couple of months to look for one. Well…. that’s not really the case any longer. Last weekend my husband discovered that my steering rack in my car is shot. And well…. that’s just not safe. And on top of that I need a new exhaust system, new routers and a new strut mount. Because the car is a 96 I really don’t want to poke a whole lot of money into it, so I need to find a new car. So far we have found a couple that might work, it is just taking a little time to decide which one I want to pay for. When I make up my mind, I’ll let you all know.
My husband was given a surprise holiday. Normally he is entitled to four weeks vacation every year, but for some reason his company decided to give him an extra week this year. So that means an extra long… week for me. When my husband is home from work for any length of time, he gets bored and decides to bug me. So for the past couple of days I have been unable to get anything done! Oh well, this will be his last week off this year so I think I can muddle through it. I just wish he had of given me a little more notice of this time off so I could have prepared myself for a very long week.
As I sit here typing I am looking out the window and looking at snow. That’s right folks, it’s not even November and I am already faced with snow. The only good thing about this weather is that it has warmed up considerably. Another good thing is, is that this snow won’t stay. This is supposed to turn into rain sometime tonight. So all the rain will definitely get rid of any snow that lingers. Snow, this time of year?? Really??
Although it’s only the middle of October, it kind of feels like the middle of January. For the past few days we have been experiencing some really cold temperatures. The kids have had to school every morning dressed as though they are entering a blizzard. And as I sit her typing, I am all wrapped up in a blanket. Yes, I understand that winter will be here soon and we will be getting a lot more colder temperatures than we are currently seeing, I just wish that we weren’t experiencing it now.
Man I can’t believe that it’s October already. That means I only have a couple months to get all my Christmas shopping done. And…. I haven’t even started! Seriously, it only seems like we finished with Christmas a couple of months ago and here we are almost getting ready for Thanksgiving. It won’t be too much longer before the big day will arrive. So I guess I will need to get off my rump and start the Christmas shopping here pretty soon. I just wish I had a bit more time.
Well as you can all see, I’m back!!! I know it’s been a long while since I’ve posted in here but unfortunately real life got in the way. Life these days has slowed down quite a bit so I do plan on visiting in here more frequently.
Just a quick run down of all that’s been happening:
Both kids finished school and did wonderfully. After a long…. summer vacation (lots of fighting) they are both back in school. My young fellow is in grade 4 and my daughter is in grade 6. I went back to work at my restaurant job so I haven’t had a whole lot of time to post. But with the craziness finally starting to settle down, I decided that I do in fact now have the time to revise this blog.
So it’s great to see you all again and I look forward to seeing you all again in the near future.
As you all know, this coming weekend just happens to be Easter. We really don’t have any plans as of yet because I have to work Saturday and Sunday, but hopefully we will do something special either Friday or Monday. My husband and I both have those days off as do the kids. The kids are actually off for five days in a row so hopefully one of those days we can do something as a family even if it’s only going out to eat somewhere.
So what are you plans for Easter? Anything exciting or just the same old, same old?

A lot of people are extremely suspicious of this day. Are you?? Well, once again it’s Friday the 13th. Thankfully I don’t have to go anywhere or do anything so I can stay in even if there is a lot of craziness out there.
I hope you all have a great Friday the 13th and a wonderful weekend as well. I’ll talk to you all again around the first of the week.
