Quick update, Dean got home shortly after 7 p.m. last night, after I’d taken the kids for yet another walk(I took 3 long walks yesterday in hopes of going into labor! 😉 ) and then bathed and dressed them for bed.   The car is indeed fixed, almost $700 in repairs later, I was working up the reimbursement stuff for the car insurance today since they said they’d pay some for hotel, food and towing based on our coverage, and those expenses were just under $300, not counting the first hotel night since we had planned on that.   we had planned on the second hotel night but hoping since I called the agent and she recommended staying through til Monday for the car repairs that they’ll pay for both Saturday and Sunday nights.  but I’ll be grateful for their paying for just the one unplanned night, towing and food for Dean the extra day.    which is what they should be paying us for.  it’s just waiting for that money to be reimbursed to us that is bad, we really didnt budget for all that money at all.  At least tomorrow is pay day, hoping then to correct our negative bank balance!   Gotta love the unexpected things life throws at you!   I guess all that walking yesterday was too much on me, I am  running on empty energy wise today.  Bo’s been napping and I took a  short nap too.    Other than that trying to work on insurance stuff and church stuff for a meeting tonight, the only reason I napped was so I’d be up for said meeting.   well I need to grab lunch and wake up the kid so he can eat before we need to get Caleb from school.  So Dean is home, the kids were so happy to see him, Bo ran up and hugged his leg it was too cute!  I was just glad he was home so I could take a break!   I’m a little bitter about the whole him getting an extra day at the hotel alone to do whatever and swim and well relax!   but it was what was easiest, and I have those too frequent drs appointments that I cant miss so I kind of had to come back, and theres of course the kids…..oh well….I guess my next time to get away will be in a few weeks or less while I’m at the hospital for 3 days recovering from delivering baby boy # 3.  that will probably be just as fun as this past weekend away….blah!
