What a day!

Today 9-22-08

It began just like any other day. I stopped for gas and headed off to work. I don't get very far when my check engine light comes on and the car begins to shake vigerously.

I take a detour right to the dealer to see how much more money I will need to sink into this 10 year old car with over 110,000 miles.

They said they would call me with what they find out and kindly drive me home. About an hour later they called with the bad news. It was the starter coil and they recommeneded the fule filter to be replaced as well. OK I say, and I ask for them to change the oil while they are at it because I'm over do anyway.

I get off the phone and Jeanna reminds me that I should have the brakes checked. So I call the guy back and ask for them to check the breaks. He calls back indicating the front rotors are warped and the break pads need replacing. Also the rear breaks need adjusting. I should have known since I've been experienceing some jeryness while braking.

Luckily Jeanna knew we had a coupon for the dealer for 20% off up to $100 maximum benefit. We put the coupon to good use.

Then we had to go to the Baby Dr. after picking up the car. She's at 39 weeks and ready to be done. I give her a lot of credit for all she has to go through just to bring a new life into the world. This pregnancy was much tougher than the last.

At the Baby Dr. they say we can try to schedule an induction...and we do! I hope we don't get bumped. We are going to try for Tuesday the 23rd. We'll keep you posted with updates as things change.
