Okay day 3 of my head HURTING!!I feel like my eyes are two boiled eggs. On top of it it’s been one hell of a day. Woke up at 4:30am to a crying baby. Felt like nails on a chalk board. He’d peed. Poor guy. So I changed him quick in the great hope he’d fall back a sleep again.. nope. He was up and ready for play. Okay.. lets hang out. I tried everything.. fed him, petted him, even tried playing dead just in the possibility that he’d give in. Nope.
So now we are up. Head hurting, tired and kinda pissed. But then I look at him, with his sweet smile looking up at me. How could I be mad? So that’s where my day started.
After that I tried with all my might just to make it through. Just survive the day till my Husband came home. My friend had arrived to show pity on me and help me with my day. I love my Mindy and it was a great treat. It was at this point after running late of course we ran out the door. Then it happened. My Van was DEAD!!! No lights , no sound silence. You have GOT to be kidding. So we scramble out of my van ushering the kids quickly into her van. Thankfully she has two kids of her own not at the time present with us. Allowing my children to borrow their seats. We drop off Johnpaul at preschool.
One down several things to go. We arrive back home only to sit on the phone rallying with Kia on what to do. The tow truck arrives and steals away my broken Van. Bye bye Larry the Van.
So Now we are faced with this. Our van has a warrantee till 60,000 miles… we are at 53,783. So this fix should be covered but what about next time. Now we are left till Monday, Tuesday and possibly WEDNESDAY with NO transportation.
Now we are in the market for a new van. We are looking into a Honda Odyssey 2010. Through Costco it looks to be a great deal.
My head hurts, I am stressed out.
Oh sweet sleep.. I’m heading to bed.
I too try to play dead in order to get Angela to go to sleep, never works :( Sorry about your van, but I do recommend Honda. My parent's gave me their 92 Accord when I was 16. It's sitting in my driveway right now with 207k miles on it without having any major work done to it, other than wear and tear things. Runs perfectly too!
