We are debating getting another car. I only work part-time but I'm going up from 2 to 3 days next week. My job is an hour in the opposite direction from MH's job and carpooling has been so inconvenient because of that and because we work different hours. A second car would make life a lot easier.
The thing is since I've started working we have been able to save some money every month. And if that goes to a car payment, it will be harder to put much aside. I can't decide if it's worth to suck it up and wait until I get a permanent, full-time position, or if we should just get it now assuming the finances will work themselves out.

I do think I will find a full-time job for the fall, which will necessitate a second car and also make it easy to pay for it. So if we're going to get it anyway, I might as well get it now, right?
MH is at the end of his rope with the carpooling situation. He takes a series of buses to be at work on time and then has to wait 2 hours after the end of his workday for me to come pick him up on the way back from my job. He's gone more than 12 hours on those days. I have no flexibility in my hours.
But I am scared it will take me a while to find a full-time job, and my part-time job is set to be over at the end of the summer.
We took the kids on a field trip to one of those kiddy pirate ship places today. It's in the 50's and it rained the whole time. Super lame. Then I had to present an inservice after I got back to school all water logged. At least my day is over in 15 min and NO dance!
Yesterday I had a ct scan with contrast for the first time. She wasn't lying when she said it would feel like I was peeing myself. Weird! I was there to see if I have both kidneys because apparently the unicornuate uterus also comes with a high chance of kidney problems. Well she wouldn't tell me(it was a tech), but at one point she came back in the room and said "uhhh why are you here today?" So I feel like she saw something crazy in there.
doodler, when is the follow-up appointment to go over the results? Maybe the tech was asking that b/c everything looked normal.
Maybe! Hopefully! The f/u appointment with the RE is next Friday. Alllll the test results should be in by then so we should have a complete picture and be able to plan next steps.
I was supposed to meet this realtor to look at a rental over an hour ago. I called him at 2:30 to see if he was on his way and he had no recollection of speaking to me or setting up the appointment! I just spoke to him about this a few hours ago too. He said he's on his way but it will be another half hour. So annoying.

Ugh what is with people trifling about making people wait! Boo. That drives me nuts.

peaseblossom55, ohinvrtedworld I'm giving him until 3:15 and then I'm leaving. It took me a half hour to drive here and I've been sitting here since 1:45! I haven't even eaten yet.

I know I am rambling. Adulting is hard!
I say buy the car. Sanity and time saving is so worth it. Yes, the finances might be tight but I think you'll be happy in the end. If you shop around and are flexible with the type of car you might be able to get a good payment that won't eat up all your available income.
