Good
morning all, how is everyone on this fine Saturday morning I didn't
do five things for Friday yesterday because well I forgot.
My
Friday was about as busy as always, although I did have to drive
Blain to school and then come home and wait for the tow truck to pick
up Jessica's car.
Yes
My Blain stayed Thursday night his mum said she wouldn't have a car
to get him to school and his school is near my house so he stayed
here.
Jessica's
car well it was backfiring and stalling a lot on Monday night she
drove it to her sisters place in the afternoon and when it came time
to leave it backfired and stalled three times before she even got out
of the street so she decided to drive it back here and stay here the
night and Tim booked it into Gaspower to have it looked at.
Now
because it was backfiring and stalling all the time and in fact on
the 1k trip from Natasha's to here it backfired and stalled 6 times,
neither Jessica or myself wanted to drive the car to Gaspower which
is about a 3k trip. So we told Tim we didn't want to drive it and he
got all pissy over it and thought we were babies.
Anyway
I left it said nothing for a day then told him I thought we should
have the car towed to Gaspower through the NRMA
(National
Roads & Motorists Association) we pay into the NRMA roadside
assist so the tow cost nothing. When I brought up having it towed he
was like that is a good idea, it may be too dangerous to drive the
car.
Yeah
Tim what changed, oh I know you want to work bitched about how your
wife and daughter were babies for not wanting to drive the car and
someone said they thought it might be dangerous to drive it and so
you changed your mind I know you my love................lol
So
Jessica's car is now running ok and it only cost her $450 all up to
get the backfiring to stop and of course this happened at rego time
so all up again to get her car registered again it cost her $1,500.
This is the third year in a row that she has had to fork out that
much money to keep the car on the road.
Tim
is off work today and at last going to have his eyesight checked not
because anything is wrong but because at our age we should have it
checked every 2 years.
Oh
yeah my mum is at last on antibiotics and starting to sound a little
better but she still has a ways to go before she is well it has been
like a week and half that she has been sick and this is not like mum,
she doesn't get sick this is the sickest we have seen her in like 6 years I think.
Despite
being really sick she has been still getting up and driving
grandchildren to school and daycare and going to the shops to get
things she needs and then going home and back to bed. I could go mad
at her but lets be honest I would do the same.
I
could have a bitch about Jessica and how she isn't on top of things
happening at Leo's school, like the fact that there is this big
school spectacular happening next Thursday night and when I asked her
if Leo was in it and if so what did he have to wear.
Well
she had no idea, yes he is in it and has to dress up like a bikie in
black jeans, back shirt, back shoes or boats, sunglasses and a
bandana for his head. So now I have to find him the right clothes and
shoes his school shoes are black so he can wear them and I have jeans
in his drawer and I should be able to find him a black shirt. I did
tell Jessica to look for his black boots and all she could say is I
don't know where they are and in the end she made me so frustrated
just talking to her about this. I feel like she is the mother she is
the one who should be all over this but no it falls to me, just like
his homework is all up to me. I love her but at times she makes me
want to scream and yes Jessica I know you don't like me talking about
you on my blog but it is my blog and I will if I want
to............so there............
Sorry
this has ended up a long ass post, with a lot of bitching from me.
You are too funny, Jo-Anne and hey, it's good to vent! I'm glad you did!
ReplyDeleteMe funny don't think so
DeleteMan, that's a lot of money for registration! Over here, that would make it a newer and nicer car than I could afford. One thing Tim should take from a guy who knows- one day that backfiring car will stall and not restart. Another is neighbors don't like a backfiring car. And the one I had that did that cost less than that repair job- and I STILL was ripped off!
ReplyDeleteYes it was a lot rego itself was just over a grand the rest was repairs
DeleteDear Jo-Anne, all the self-help books I've ever read about seem to talk about taking deep breaths when we're stressed. I've tried that and mostly I just end up hyperventilating. It seems to me that perhaps writing is what helps you. That works for me too. Peace.
ReplyDeleteYes I do find writing helps it is my way to vent and thankfully I don't get stressed out over things very often
DeleteNope, it isn't funny. (comment above) It's hard work you're speaking of, sickness and of frustration and LOTS of money and unreliable transportation. I wish and hope SOMETHING domes right, Jo-Anne.
ReplyDeleteYes life is hard work and it did feel good to sit and write of my frustration I am hoping September is a better month and that Jess's car is now ok
DeleteYes it does feel good to sit and write about my frustrations
