This is the day that I would prefer not to relive
Last night my husband spent the night in the hospital for a sleep study. My daughter was at my moms. And my brother in law is staying with some friends in Pennsylvania for a while. I had the whole house to myself. So I cleaned a little and did my homework and even managed to freak myself out with some ghost hunters on TV...I finally fell asleep between 4:30 and 5:00 am. I got up and took an almost 2 hour drive down the shore to my aunt's house to go find her a new computer. On my way down there the car ran great but i heard a slight squealing noise. Once I picked her up and we got back on the parkway there was an intense burning rubber smell and we thought it was just the car in front of us or the construction that was going on. Boy were we wrong!! The power steering pump on my car was going bad and it chose today to finally give out.... Now I work in a repair shop and I know my car but these guys decided I didn't know what I was talking about!! Ugh men! Just because I have uhm well lets see a different anatomy does not mean that I do not know what is wrong with my car!! So I tell the guys what is wrong and the dude is like uh well we will check it out and let you know! Uhm duh I just told you so I leave my car there and then about a half hour later they call me and tell me you were right it is the power steering pump but that the pulley snapped off at the shaft and that if it weren't for the motor mount that the whole pulley would have come off and I would have been stuck. Uhm no i wouldn't I have AAA . So anyway my aunt tells me to have them fix it now I owe her almost $500 for the repairs... I don't know where this money is coming from but I will figure it out I am sure. I had to have my mom pick up my husband from the hospital and I did not even make it back home until almost 9 pm then the roast I had in the slow cooker/ crock pot was so over done it was dry. I am not happy about that but at least it still tasted good. Anyway it has been a long day following an even longer night and from the looks of it I will not get much sleep tonight because that long ride down to my aunts gave the sun enough tie to burn my arm shoulder and the side of my face and throat....at least there is proof I was wearing my seatbelt! Off to shower than sleep I hope!

crazy crazy days
Well it has been a crazy month!! Working like nuts and almost never a day off! Been doing all kinds of stuff at the shop...paper work, ordering parts, handling customers, working on the web site and updating our listing on others. the shop has been slow so I have spent the last few weeks reorganizing EVERYTHING!! I am not kidding form moving stuff to redoing the files and even organizing the supplies. I bought myself new pens since they all seem to disappear and the pretty girly pastel colors too. They are being taken as well....what man wants to walk around with bright pink pen?!?! but they are doing it lol. things have been going well other wise.... well other than an asinine landlord who thinks she is above the law that is. But whatever...Life is good and so am I!!
