Christmas 2010

Well, it looks like Tyrin was right. The whole compressor unit for a/c in my van needs replaced, $160 + tax. And then the charge of draining the compressor? i think? another $70-80 + tax. And THEN there the labor involved another $80 + tax. So it'll be about $400 altogether. My van also needs a tune-up before I go to Utah. Why, oh why, couldn't it just be as simple as jump in the car and GO!!!
On the other hand, it's WAY better to find this out NOW and get it taken care of, than to be in the middle of NOWHERE on a HOT summer day and have it break down. Think positive, think positive, think positive...........

Here he is before,

And here he is after!
Doesn't Ian look so smart!

So I've finished my first class in seven years and I totally Rocked It! I aced my class, Elementary Staticstics, only had a little trouble with probability. Only 4 more weeks and school for the kids and myself will start again. I really need to start looking through the school clothes and make sure we've got what we need. The kids have to wear uniforms, which is yucky, but I can't change that so there's no use complaining, right? Of course, right.

My van sounds like it's about ready to die on me. It has to do with the a/c, so I've been driving around with all the windows open and no cool air, yuck! Tyrin says it's the bearings? (i think?) which will most likely sieze up and the whole engine will stop working, so I shouldn't drive while he's gone at camp, or I may end up on the side of the road. Thank goodness he'll only be gone for two days. Hopefully it will be something that he can fix himself, quickly and cheaply! Otherwise our vacation plans may come to a screeching halt! Double yuck!

I didn't really feel like doing any work this morning so I helped the girls glam up. Makeup, hair, and nails always make a girl feel good. But, the day is half over so I need to finish here and get to work. Dishes, laundry, dishes, laundry, dishes, laundry, tidy the house, etc.

Happy Mother's Day!
