Roller Coaster

By this I do not mean the thing at the amusement park that races along a winding track and makes you scream with glee.   No rather I mean this is more the way my life is going right now.  It is good and bad all at once and just when you think you have adjusted to a dip or turn there is a rather sudden change of course.  The sort of change that makes you feel sick to your stomach.

It may all be pregnancy hormones, but I doubt it.   I like to think that my temper levels out with pregnancy.  My hubby would probably say otherwise. 

A few days ago when the hubby was on his way home from work (3 hours late)  he called to say that he thought his fuel line was leaking.  He said he would go straight to his parents to assess the situation.  I was disappointed, but you do what has to be done.  He brought his father's truck home and the following day the fuel line was replaced for $20.   Thank God for men who can fix things with out a mechanic.  The very next day my hubby repeated the call on the way home that the car was still leaking and that he was agian returning to his parents and would be late.  Again he came home with his father's truck.  This time the gas tank.  We could replace with a used for $ 50 or a brand new one for 150.  The car is a '92 rust bucket that has 218,000 miles on it.  Here is the kicker.  We are buying the hubby's sisters car in two weeks when she drives home from Colorado!   Her car was to replace the rust bucket.  My hubby also tells me that we could buy this '84 dodge something or other from his bro's friend for $300.  My hubby says that this would get us through the two weeks.  True, but we would spend about $500 total to liscence and register for a car we would need only for two weeks.    This is only the car delema. 

Today I hit Max in the head agian with a dumbbell.  I was lifting and he ran behind me and before I knew it ran right in to the weight.  It was only a 5lb. weight, but it hit him in the same spot as the hard ball.  And let me tell you he had one of those "Tom and Jerry"  goose eggs that grows while you are watching.  I felt aweful.  I cried, which probably only made him cry more.  and of course he didn't want any ice!  How very unsuper am I feeling! 

I truelly think that this is enough info for now.  God willing we will now be on a track that is going up, atleast for a little while.  I would settle for one that just levels off.  The good news is that we probably are close enough to the ground on this wild ride that we may be able to hop off and take a break.
