Just another day in paradise!

Is it Friday yet???

Monday was a great day! Our washing machine, TV, and Marks truck broke, washing machine is still functional though I don't know for how long, TV is done for now and Marks truck is still in the shop. We're debating whether to get a new TV or get it repaired, it all depends on Marks bonus that we just found out is not going to be what is was supposed to be, its going to be much less so we'll probably get the TV fixed. What sucks is that if it wasn't broken it wouldn't even be worth the cost of the repair, however we don't have $600+ to throw down on a new TV. Everywhere I've looked all they have now are flat screen LCD or Plasma's, or the projection TV's. Tube TV's are a thing of the past, even Target doesn't sell any over 19 inches. The washing machine isn't ours, it came with the house. The problem is the owner of the house, who is also one of Marks best friends, isn't keeping this house as a rental, he sort of got stuck with it and we're just helping him out. As soon as the economy gets better and the real estate market picks back up he's putting it up for sale (by then we should be long gone ;) Needless to say he's not going to fix the washer if it goes, he hasn't said this flat out but basically insinuated that if it goes we have his permission to get rid of it and get our own. Which is fabulous considering we don't have the money to buy a new one so our only option will be to fix a washing machine that's not ours. Mark is going to see if he can fix it himself, that should be a site to see! I have to say though, this DIY attitude Mark has recently is very sexy! I'm likin' it! :0)~ About Marks truck, the good thing is that 1) he wasn't hurt and 2) its doesn't cost us for the repairs. The brakes went out, he pulled out of his shop and the brakes went to the floor. They were fine when he drove to work, they were fine earlier in the day when he ran errands, sometime that day one of the brake lines cracked and leaked fluid out, thankfully this did not happen while he was on the interstate! He was just mins away from getting on I-75... it could have been much worse. The only sucky thing is that now I don't have a car while he's at work since he has to use mine. His truck should be done this afternoon, still it sucks, that's 2 days without a vehicle for me, suck at home, with 2 very hyper boys who already have cabin fever! Oh and yesterday when Mark got home, I took off to go to Target just to get out, I barely made it down the road when I hear BEEEEP... My damn engine light came on! My freaking goodness, when it rains it pours! I know its nothing serious, its some stupid sensor that is known to have "hiccups" and needs to be reset. I went and took care of that immediately but still, what else could possibly go wrong, or dare I ask!

So as for today, I have a dr's appt today to find out what the heck is wrong with me. It all started 2weeks ago, I started feeling crappy thanks to that mother who brought her sick kid into MMO. I started with a weird sore throat that felt like tonsillitis but my tonsils looked fine. My sore throat disappeared right as my cold started, my cold disappeared and now I've got the sore throat again! I don't know what's wrong but something has got to give. I don't have any redness, my tonsils look fine, my glands feel normal, no white patches, just lots of pain. I've tried everything from sinus medication (not much I can take) to gargling with salt water, but nothing works. My throat doesn't hurt when I'm just sitting here doing nothing, but dare I swallow some saliva and holy hell brakes lose! Hopefully I'll get some answers soon. After my dr appt I have to run home, pick up Mark and the boys, drive an hour north to get his truck, an hour south to get home, and then cook dinner. Was supposed to have girls night tonight but looks like I'll have to cancel, really sucks cause at this point I really needed it... I also really need some Tequila but I'll have to pass on that too!
