I thought I was having a really great day. I got up this morning and got the boy dressed and sent him out the door to daycare with Daddy. Daddy had an eye appointment so I got to stay home instead of driving the boy in and then driving back home to dive into bed to get better. Surprisingly, I didn’t go back to bed today. I got the disgusting kitchen sparkling, vacummed and mopped the whole house, tidied the whole house, and did four loads of laundry. This is on top of shoveling the driveway after J and the boy left. I’m feeling much better then yesterday except for the fact that I’m having issues catching my breath. I’ll be mid sentence and have to stop and take a couple deep breaths to chase away the “Dizzies”. ANYWAY, Marshy and I had to go to Toy’s R Us tonight to pick up some Thomas the Tank engine stuff for our boys for Xmas so we set off at about 4:30. We got to the St. Laurent Shopping Center and got to it. We walked out the doors at about 7:30…to find that the battery in the car was DEAD. Bless CAA and their wonderful service, they had a guy to the car in 20 minutes. He gave my car a boost so off Marshy and I went to the Canadian Tire in Kanata to get a new battery. Turns out that not only is my battery dead, so is the alternator and we are stuck in Kanata with no way home. Luckily one of the mechanics took customer service to the next level and drove Marshy and I home. Marshy will drive us back in tomorrow to pick up the fixed Neon and to pay the $450 bill. BLERG! Merry #%*@! Christmas! Why do these things happen at inopportune times?
Oh well, the only thing that I’m truly thankful about is that it happened to Marshy and I and not when it was the boy and I on our way into work.
Ciao for now,
Kay
