Sunday: Normally a 4 hr work day but turned into 8 hrs (by choice but at the last minute). Planned on picking up coffee table from girl on craigslist but phone died during directions. This means more on Monday.
Monday: After dropping off Isabella at daycare, I stop at the gas station and my car dies. Gas attendant jumps the car but I need to head to work immediately so I'm not late (so I don't bother taking it in to a shop in other words). After working for 3 hrs and planning to pick up the coffee table (which is only 15 min away), car will not start. Jumping does not help so I end up spending an hour arranging a tow-truck, only to discover he is able to start my car. He thinks it's my battery. (This whole time I am unable to reach John, by the way.) Okay, so, not risking stopping anywhere and not even bothering to turn off the car when I pick up Isabella from daycare, we make it safely home. Later that evening I borrow the truck to pick up the table (since I feel bad about making the lady wait until I'm at work again). Total time on the road that day: 2 1/2 hrs.
Tuesday: Honestly can't remember but I definitely didn't drive anywhere. However, John was gone from 7:30am until 10:00pm which sucked.
Wednesday: The shop says the starter is the problem. With labor that'll cost me over $200. Awesome.
Thursday: Ah the kicker! Plan: Drive Isabella to daycare; come home and switch cars so John has the car seat when he picks her up (because I'm working 9hrs); go to work. Reality: I drive Isabella to day care, leaving my bag/phone/food at home because of plan. Get home to discover my car keys don't have the house key on them because Wednesday I'd taken it off for the automechanic. Brilliant! So, I drive to work in carseat car so I won't be late only to discover I was 30 min early and I could've gone to my neighbors, called John, retrieved the house key, and still make it to work on time. Instead I have to plan to get the keys during my lunch break, at 2pm. So, no food until 2pm. Lunch is obviously really short because I do so much driving. Next, I wonderfully forget to leave the house keys in our secret spot for John! So he can't get in after picking up Isabella! Instead he goes out to eat and then meets up with coworkers at McMinnimins. I get home to no food and no family and have a bad headache. Great day.
Great Week!
Next week: I get run over!

so, I call you last night and ask how you are... you answer, oh, fine, John and Bella arent home yet. I prattle on about silly boy things and do you tell me any of this? Silly girl! What a week! Hope things slow down soon!

You know I don't work on monday or tuesday, I could have watched bella tuesday night, to give you some down time, you know maybe go to a coffee shop, and read a book or something.
