Creative Homeschool Exerience

What an Adventure

    Well earlier this afternoon I went to go grocery shopping. We have been having trouble with our car since just before Christmas and we had to get the fuel pump changed. Even though we changed it just last year about the same time. The warranty had expired though but we had gotten a little off for it so that was nice anyway. But Christmas Day on the way to my mom's the car just stops dead as we are getting ready to turn left. Well we got it towed and they couldn't find anything wrong with it. They put it on the computer and everything and couldn't find anything wrong. They could see when it stopped and such but not what was causing it. So they give the car back to us and we didn't have to pay anything. Hoping that it was just a fluke. Well it happened to hubby two more times but after a few minutes it would start back up again. So thus he has been using my mom's truck but it's a stick and well I don't really know how to drive a stick so I have still been using the car. Not often but when I have to. Nothing had happened each time I drove it though. Until that is today.

    Driving along to go get groceries and the lights on the dash board flickers and then the car just quits. So I coast to the side of the road. Thank goodness I had my cell phone on me. So I call hubby up and let him know what happened. So while I am on the phone with him I give it a few minutes and then try to start it again. It starts right up. So hung up from hubby and on my way again. Didn't get too far when yep you guessed it the car once again died. So I coast again to the side of the road and I again call hubby. Wait and nope wouldn't start. Couldn't get it to start so hubby got the kids ready and came to pick me up. We went to the place we had it before and told him about it (hubby's Cousin actually is who has been doing it for us. He owns his own garage business). So he was going to get it towed to his place. Hopefully they will find what is wrong with it. Either way after we get taxes back this year we are going to buy a new car (well used new car LOL). Anyway in the end we all ended up doing grocery shopping. Wasn't too bad but man I wish my car would work lol.

    Anyway tomorrow we officially start back to schooling again. I think the boy's are going to be happy about it even if they do groan about it lol. I find when they don't get to do school they fight more and they whine more. They really need the structure and so do I, I think. We all seem to do better when we are doing something. I am actually looking forward to getting back in the swing of things too. Not to just get a car that runs LOL.
