Catching up

This past Monday just added to the craziness from last week. Last Tuesday I had a flat tire and thankfully was able to call my mother-in-law to pick Courtney up from school and my father-in-law came home early from work and was able to change the tire. The lug nuts were on so tight, I don't think I would have been able to change it. Of course all of this is happening with Carson running around and wanting to be in the middle of it.

Okay so back to Monday. I got up, got Courtney up and got myself ready, Carson was still sleeping so when I was ready to leave I left him at the house with Stacy. I got almost to the school and the check engine light came on. I immediately called Stacy knowing I would need to stop and have it serviced and hopefully find out what was wrong. I was overdue for an oil change anyway, but that hasn't fixed the problem. The light is still on, but we are going to have to disconnect the battery to see if it just needs to be reset before we take it to have anything else done to it. While I was getting it serviced we had them look at the tire that had gone flat, and of course it couldn't be fixed. So, we had to buy new tires. This was not an expense we wanted to have right before Christmas with money already tight.

I have been working a few hours a week for a Realtor in Jonesboro doing some work on his website. It's not much, but every little bit helps. Hopefully, it will turn in to something more later on down the road.

I was finally able to finish my Christmas cards yesterday, now I just have to buy the stamps and get them mailed. I didn't do a letter this year updating everyone on our progress, but most people have been following us on Facebook and now I have the blog.

I am still working on trying to get Carson potty trained which is not much fun. He just really doesn't seem to want to do it. I'll keep at it and eventually he will.

Now, it's time to do a little cleaning around the house so I can get started reading my friends book he wrote during the NaNoWriMo in November and then on to proofing and editing my own. I promise eventually I will have it done so other people can read it and no it's not about Vampires.
