Super Busy and so on...

This has been one of those weeks when it seems there just isn't enough time to accomplish anything except the absolute necessities.  So if my blog suffers, I am apologizing in advance.  To me writing is a necessity.  I love it, it makes me feel alive and it lets me get out a few of the things that I want to.  No one wants me to get it all out believe me :-)

Monday I was feeling sick, headed home from my first shift and our car had finally had it.  After heroically running terribly for 3 months, it screamed "enough I can't go on".  I thought I was going to have to push it to get home, but mostly I prayed that I could get off the busy road and get safely on the side road before I was killed.  People didn't seem to care that I was limping along to try and get out of the way, they were just blowing by.  After that scare the car perked up enough to get me home once we were on a side road.  She sensed me giving in and like a sulking child gave me a big smile when she saw things going her way.  Chris & his good friend L worked on it most of the night Monday and now she is running beautifully.  However I am sad.  Now Chris has taken her hostage as his own and given me back the other car.  A perfectly functional get you where you need to go car, but not a pal to me.  So now I am dealing with the sadness of losing my good friend who ran terribly, but got me to work and home twice a day for 3 months.

This also explains why I did not write on Monday, as I didn't make it to my 2nd shift because I felt terrible, and I slept alot.  Chris came home early to bring me lunch, and get the kids from school since I was just not up to it on my own.  He is a good man.  When I am mad about small things, because really who doesn't get mad sometimes, I go back and read all the good things he has done.  My own reminder that I need to look at the big picture and continue to be thankful. 

I have so much more to say, but alas my cold is not making it possible to stay awake.  I hope to have time to write tomorrow because we have another crazy day ahead of us.

Thank goodness for NyQuil
