I woke up feeling really bad.  I got up showered, got the kids ready for the day and started doing some chores.  Dean got up took Caleb to school and then he and Bo went out to buy a salvaged part to fix our van to save us some money, lots of money.  I cleaned, did laundry, put Zeke down for nap and laid down myself.   when the phone rang I still felt crappy but at least I felt like the day was going well for me since I had gotten things done and had some rest.   Then the bad starts…..the part Dean got for $100( a new part costs $500) wasnt right so we need to decide if we can spend the $850 to fix it right now.   I called Dean on his cell since the shop called here and he said he was having the worst day.   His work told him they recieved his expense reports and would reimburse him but that that he has to be at work on Monday and has to pay his way from now on.  so that hotel room and airfare to get back to move is now gone.  I dont know how we are going to make it work now.  as long as working was paying for the transition we were ok financially.  I dont think we can do this any other way.   He was in tears and said he’d call me back. I finally got him back on the phone and convinced him to come home so we can deal with decision making together, he had gone back to the car shop to see what he could find out from them.   so not sure we’re going to ohio for thanksgiving or even if the move will work now….this is a major blow to us and I dont know how we’ll manage.   so we need to fix the van. and figure out how to get dean back and forth to ohio for work and then our move.   should be fun!   at least his family is close hopefully he’ll be able to stay there to work.  I’m sure he’s majorly rethinking even going back to work there now though.   major prayers would be appreciated…. in other news…I’m hoping to hear from my dr today about my test results.  i think if I dont I will call her since I feel so bad.   but I might wait, dont need any  more bad news today…
