Cars: Love 'em or Hate 'em

I've had an interesting day. It all started on my way to bring Isaac to my friend's house. My car started overheating. Funny thing is we were planning on dropping it off at the shop this afternoon to get looked at before we head to FL in a few weeks. So my dear friend, Eryn, threw both her son and Isaac in her car and followed me to the shop to drop the car off. Then delivered me to work. Work was insanely busy since we are getting ready for a seminar this evening at another branch and all the other normal stuff...just extra busy. I went out for lunch with some ladies from work to celebrate a co-workers birthday and then had them drop me off at Eryn's and she would bring Isaac and me home. Little did she know she left her lights on this morning (since she had to take two boys out of her car and she's 17 weeks pregnant...she's amazing!) and her car battery was dead. Since both of our husbands were busy teaching classes she called her dad - he's so awesome. He tried jumping her car with his, but it didn't work. So he nicely brought Isaac & I....well, first to the car shop to get my house keys I had left on the key ring (which I thought I had done and they ended up being in my purse after I all - but I didn't dare tell him for fear of him thinking I'm quite the ditz). He then dropped Isaac & I at home and he returned to work. I don't know what we would do without our car, but I really hate car trouble and dealing with it all. They really should make you take car repair classes in high school so you could fix your own car - I guess that would mean we'd have to have all the right tools then also. Ughhhh!!! Cars can be so frustrating. Thanks to Eryn and her dad Isaac & I were safely brought home and now are stranded until we get the car back. Which is fine because now I'm forced to stay home and not worry about all the errands I need to run, etc. Maybe I'll try to get some scrapbooking done...we'll see.
