It feels like a Monday!  Dean stayed home this morning to go to the dr for his ongoing back pain that was getting unbearable.  I took Caleb to school then came home and Dean left shortly after in our Hyundai to go to the dr.  he got home, then we piled in the car to take Dean to work.  We were all in the car and it wouldnt start.   He jumped it by taking the battery out of our van, since we couldnt move the van because it was in front of the hyundai in the driveway.   After that attempt neither the car nor the van would start!

the last few days I noticed the van had been having some smoke coming out from under the hood right after I’d start it. I kept forgetting about it but yesterday when we were out Dean noticed it smoking.   So we were planning to drop the van off at the shop today to find out what was wrong with it…but then today the hyundai died.  A friend came over for us to jump the car and van so that we could get at least one of them to the shop to get fixed.  So currently our hyundai is in the shop as it’s in most need of fixing since the van works most of the time but the car has stalled more times than not lately when trying to start it.  So now we wait.  It figures we have extra money that we were planning on fixing up the house with but now we are going to have to fix both vehicles.  this is always what happens, thus why repairs that have needed done around the house always end up waiting since the cars always break down when we have money, I guess it’s better than them breaking down when we dont have the money to fix them.  Geez…in other news Dean and I are both still suffering from horrible back pain, we think we need a new mattress.   Dean got some new meds today and if it doesnt help he’s going to try physical therapy.  I”m used to my back acting up but it’s been so bad this week!  I should have tried to see my dr today but once I thought about it the cars werent working.   Wasnt I just complaining the other day about how much my life sucks sometimes?  it’s one of those days!!   pray the car repairs arent too costly and that Dean and are feeling better soon!
