NEW CAR

So I drive alot! 18 months ago we bought a 1995 Saturn for $500 and the other morning as I noticed my mileage was 225,555 I asked my little car if it would PLEASE make it through the summer for me!?!? Well I guess the answer was no :( As I was takeing sister to school for jazz pratice it died... weep! So with a huge budget of $0.00 for a new car we began the search!

This is the picture Baby Brother took of me and my new car.... I know it is wonderful (the car).

DAY OFF!!!

Although it is an "unscheduled" one it is a still a day off!

So I am off to work..nothing new there..it has been snow/iceing..nothing new there!

I am driving along (at a safe speed) and in my rearview mirror I can see this truck barreling down the highway! The faster he approches me the more I am convenced that he is going to just drive right over the top of me!! So me (being the safe driving that I am) move over to the edge of the road so he can pass me. As he blows by my car missing it by inches the wind shoves my car off the road, onto the icey sholder :( I over corrected to the left, shot clear accross the highway and zoomed into the ditch on the other side of the highway! NO the idiot didn't even stop to see if I was ok, probaly didn't even see it happen he was driving so fast.

Thus breaking my 2 year strech of not going into the ditch or hitting a deer WEEP!

Daddy came and got me out and car was fine after kicking all of the snow packed in under it.

"3 INCHES OF GAS"

These are yet another set of famous last words in the Deuel house. As we load up one of the last loads from the old house Daddy hops into his "VNTGDG" (a 64 dodge pickup), Uncle hops into the Jeep with a trailer and Mommy hops into her Saturn to make the trip to the new house. Uncle asks Daddy if he needed to get gas? "Nope, just checked the other day.... I have 3 inches" why you may be asking why we are measuring gas in inches?? well that is because you stick a hose into the tank and see how many inches is wet when you pull it out! We know very scientific :) So as we come to the four-way stop just out side our town you must cross diagonally over a 2 lane highway to go into town and just as Daddy is across both lanes of traffic he stops! cars coming both ways in the dark, mommy is totally freaking out! Starts flashing her lights, puts on hazards, and honking her horn in hopes of catching the people's attention before they slam into the side of Daddy on this dark unlit highway.... Uncle pushes Daddy across the highway safely as Daddy hops out of the truck to say "well I guess 3 inches isn't Enough to get us to the new house!" After Uncle yelled at him Mommy had her turn and we pushed him home.... OH what fun moving is!!! NOT

FLAT TIRE

As most of you know Mommy has been driving Daddy's truck since the transmission went out in her car several months ago :(..... Anyway, yesterday as Mommy was leaving one assignment to go to the next she had a flat tire! So Mommy called Daddy and asked were the spare was on his truck..... "no where" was the responce! Now what to do? Stuck in the middle of nowhere with a flat and no spare!! So mommy called the lady that she was doing the assignment with (who she happens to know through scrapbooking). The nice lady came and got Mommy, brought her to the assignment and then back to the truck. In the mean time our other friend who works in the city was done working, came and got Mommy and the tire, took it to the shop, got a new tire and then put it back on the truck for her :) Now that what friends are for!! And Mommy only arrived home 3 hours later then expected.... :) :) :)
