i hate titles

i think my car hates me. the other day i was driving and i kept hearing this popping noise when i would pull in or out of something. then i was pulling out of the epperson's driveway with jake and robbie (our friends that we put the link to) and i hear this major pop. i start picking up speed and the car starts to rock, so i have robbie check to see if the tires are flat. they're fine so we start out again. as we get to about 15mph the whole car starts to rock and bounce again. the boys think it's great, but i don't really agree. i pull over and look at the car. like i have any idea what i am looking for so i get back in and drive the 3/4 mile back to my house very slowly. when cor get home he checks it out and discovers that the ti-rod is not connected to the wheel. in other words my steering wheel was not connected to my wheel. sweet huh. if it had come undone earlier that day as i was driving home from institute going 55mph it would have flipped. not sweet. cory fixed it because he is the man. as robbie said last night about something cool cory had put on the wii "its because he's cory".

that was last thursday and as i am driving the kids to school on the way to institute i am thinking (in between my screaming at my kids for being late and lame) wow i hope nothing goes wrong with the car today. i dropped off the kids (after i apologize for being such a brat) and head to the gas station. i pull the release and jump out but the latch wont open, i try again and again and again. then i have wil pull it while i stand by and try to pry it open with the help of my keys. no luck. so as you can imagine i pull out of the station very calmly and head home instead of to institute and the gym because my car is on E. maybe the devil is controlling my car and doesn't want me to get to institute. heaven forbid i get any spiritual uplifting after i spent the morning yelling at my children.

the ironic thing is that i was just telling mom, ellynn, and cory that my life just seems to easy right now. i don't have any babies, i have a totally cake calling as does cory, my kids are all pretty dang easy, our health is all good, and our house basically keeps itself clean. i couldn't decide if there was something coming or if God was letting me just be calm for a while. i guess it meant something was coming. i know its just a latch on the gas tank, but i think my favorite car is slowly trying to leave me. too bad i have no money to get a new car so it's going to have to try a lot harder.

new subject.............cor set up the tramp that his parents bought the kids for Christmas last night. i think the little retirement community we live in was in shock with eight screaming kids jumping in the dark. it was rad. this morning wil and haz went out and jumped on it again while it was still covered in frost. they couldn't have been any happier. they are so cute!

cory and i are driving down for cort's wedding and we are sooooo excited!! we can't wait to see everyone's new homes. that includes moni and cam's because we have only seen it from the outside. and indie, too!

love to all...............me

ps hazel is calling wilohm "kiddo" and she is always calls benny "seedy pie". it's a good thing she is so cute because she is a monster. mom calls her professor umbridge.
