What a night...

Today was great....until I left the house at 6pm...that is.
Marcus was excited all day to go to VBS again tonight. He is having a such a good time with his friend from preschool. It's amazing to watch your child develop relationships on their own. Just another milestone of their independence and personal growth.

So I drop him off and head to the gym for a good 1.5 hour workout. Leave the gym on a good high and get in my car...no start...5 times later I get it started. Seriously....so now I am freaked out about my car dying and not making it from Rowlett to Mesquite to pick up Marcus in time. I manage to get there, pick up Marcus and head for Auto Zone. Why must the guy with the attitude about his job have to be the one to wait on me??? He checks the battery and alternator and both are fine. Then he proceeds to give me a lecture about the battery cable corrosion. Like I need to hear this from him now....
So he sends me on my way yet I still have a check engine light and no dash lights. It has been starting fine since then. So I drive thru McDonalds to buy a large coke for the battery cables and it gets spilled before ever making it to the cables.

This was my queue that my day was over. I came inside and hit my head while getting out of the shower...my head is throbbing and still not able to fall asleep yet. So tomorrow I have to find out what the heck is wrong with my car and get it fixed before I have to drive to Waco Sat morning to take Marcus to my mom's.

This is my sign to buy a new car...I need to go shopping now...3 years for a car is my limit!!!! Must go car shopping!!!!

New beginnings

July -- new month, new season, new chapter in my life.

Wow - I can't believe it is July already. Half of 2009 is gone and what do we have from the past 6 months? Time seems to be flying by so much faster these days - I can't help but wonder if I am missing out on something bigger and better. Do I keep putting too much emphasis on the smaller things and not taking in the biggger picture?

Summertime is great! So much fun going on with family and friends. July 4th weekend was by far the best holiday I have had this year!! I definitely feel as if this past week has been a new beginning...only time will tell but I am so looking forward to the journey.
