Oh Crap

I was snug and comfy in my bed this morning. Davey came in and kissed me goodbye, Aaron came and cuddled with me as I dozed and life was great! All of a sudden the phone rang and I was cruely pulled from my state of dozing relaxation. I jumped out of bed and tried to find a working phone (which is a challenge in our house) and cringed when I saw Dave's number on the caller id. He had been gone for less than ten minutes. It couldn't be good. It wasn't.

I picked up the phone and tried to sound half-way awake with my muted "Hello?" and as I hear cars going past in the background I hear my love's voice saying, "I broke down and am on the Route 2 exit on 695. You need to come get me". Oh crap. I was in desperate need of a shower, didn't know where a bra was, had a sleeping baby upstairs that HAD to stay on schedule since I had to work today (Yes, Sara, I realize I sound like Mom!) and I was half asleep. Oh crap. I called my mom to come over and sit while Belle slept and started to brush my teeth when Dave called again. I cringed again and answered the phone waiting for more bad news. Thankfully it was the good news that his boss was closer and would pick him up so I could stop hunting for a bra to wear.

It has been determined that the motor is done in the truck so now we have decisions to make, wether to replace the motor, the truck itself, etc... Sadly, I think it will be the best route to replace the motor and I'm sure those of you who have seen "The Beast" as Dave's brothers call it, know it is not really worth fixing. It is times like this that I am thankful for our van that runs very well (and is under warranty too!) and I do enjoy the extra time with Dave as I drive him to work. My job is also just a few miles away too, so picking him up in the evening is not too big of a deal and it is a few extra minutes we have together. Having to get up early is NOT something I enjoy and when I had a sitter come over Monday am to take him in to work she laughed at me and said, "I see you are not a morning person" :) Clearly. Dave has learned that the hard way. When we were dating I had a rule for him to NEVER call on a Saturday am before 9 if he valued his life. He usually waited till 10 :). But I digress.....

So if you or anyone you know has a reliable and cheap car, let us know. Obviously Dave will drive anything, you've seen the truck.

Well, I'm off to cuddle with Dave on our swing and enjoy the quiet of the kids in bed. We have a lot to discuss and Dave is in a talking mood so I want to take advantage of it.

Nighty Nite!
