E woke right before my alarm and now i have a migraine. I went to 7-11 to get breakfast and soda to help. Bonefish grill (free) for dinner tonight. I hope everyone has a good day.
Morning! I'm sleepy. The Rottweiler kept sneaking up on the bed, and my back hurts from not being able to stretch out. Not sure why she suddenly insists on being in bed with us, but it has got to stop. I'd get her off, fall back asleep, and then wake up with her next to me again!
And then there was M and her baby dreams. She squeaked and whimpered for, like, an hour! She was dead asleep. I tried rubbing her back and getting her to stop, but it was no use. Would love to know what she was dreaming about!
My car was cranky this morning. Not sure what was up, but the engine kept missing when I would come to a stop. A couple miles down the road, and it started behaving and drove fine. SO WEIRD. I was so nervous that it'd stall in the middle of an intersection. But we made it to school and work. FX it was just a fluke because I'm poor.
Hey guys. Up w C, R is still sleeping. H is working overtime today so I invited over my bff and sil to come play.
Wanted to run something by you. Bff asked if I would watch her son every tue for like 6 hours. I should charge her right? It just seems so awkward. She hasn't offered to pay, but I know she's paying her legit daycare lady a daily rate..
babys2015 that is a tough one. It is a long time to watch him and every week. I could see a few hours here and there no charge but all day once a week is different. Maybe see what she says later about it but i would want a little something at least.
@megaugust10 my H was telling me about those Reese's. Mmmm.
malvo hopefully your car was a fluke!! After being in the shop for so long you would think it would be practically perfect in every way! (Spoken in a Mary poppins voice of course)
babys2015 +1 to wanting some compensation. If it was a one time or every once in a while thing, no. But every week for 6 hours is a lot for no compensation.
@megaugust10, I like your idea of breakfast! malvo, fx your car is just cranky today and it straightens up. babys2015, that's a tough situation. How long is she wanting this arrangement? A week or 2 and I'd probably let it go and trade babysitting so you could do something. Long term and I think she should pay you. I'm exhausted. A slept like crap. Down at 9 up at 11 just as I was crawling in bed. She stayed up until 130 and fell asleep on the floor in the living room. I left her there and she woke up at 515. It's another long day at work so it should be a fun day.
It was just the battery. I didn't have it for that long which was frustrating. But AAA changed it there and it comes with a warranty now, so I took it.

babys2015 get paid! Do you ever have your nanny kids on Tuesday? (Or does she know/can you lie to her?) maybe say something like, "I'm on call for my nanny kids Tuesdays, but if you could match their rate (or pay x amount) , I could dedicate that day to you."
I work at 1230 so h will have to take over for me then. She picks up at 2..she could never afford to pay the same rate as my nanny family though. I make the big bucks.
I don't know what I did to piss off the car Gods, but I'd like to formally apologize to them for whatever the hell I did.
My bank account has been drained. My car is spitting and sputtering. The idle and throttle are all over the place. SO will have to help me pay and get it fixed. It's going to the shop tomorrow.
Sigh... I was doing so well with money and then... BOOM... it's all gone
I'm off to snuggle my baby and cry and drink beer and eat candy.
Thanks, ladies. I'm just so bummed about all of this recent bad luck. Why didn't I take the check and buy a new car?!
Not to mention DC gave me a notice today of nonpayment, despite them cashing my check yesterday. They really need a better billing system. Stop making me panic and then apologizing that it was your oops. This is the second time they've done this!
sjep922 I wish someone handy with cars lived close by, too! I don't have a "car guy".
malvo I'm so sorry! How are these issues not related to the accident? Also, tell your DC to get it together.
I don't know if the deer caused the current issues or not. SO is taking it to the shop tomorrow, so we'll wait for the verdict and reach out to insurance, if needed.
There was always a slight throttle issue, but it was NBD and easily ignored. It would just randomly "hiccup" when going down the highway and then be fine.
The deer hit the hood, but just moved it to the side. It didn't go into the engine. And I didn't run him over So, basically, he just screwed up the cosmetics.
