It just seemed to be one of THOSE days. Not terribly bad, but just little annoyance things. Starting with my Explorer not starting this morning. And normally, this would have been a huge hassle; but earlier this week, we ended up playing “musical vehicles” again. My middle son has been looking for a different vehicle, and he’s been driving our Ford Ranger. David’s boss decided this week to sell his little Ford Ranger. So… Matt bought our Ford Ranger, and we bought Wayde’s. David’s Ranger is a stick shift, so I couldn’t ever drive it. The one we just bought from Wayde is an automatic. So, that right there, is worth the trade. For days like today.

And then after school, Ethan went out to his car to go to work… and he had a flat tire. So, I had leave work early, go pick him up, and take him to work. He called when he got off work, and David and him went and aired the tire up, and Ethan drove it home. Tomorrow, Ethan needs to take it to our local gas station, and get it fixed. This isn’t the first time its happened, and its getting old. We should have made him walk; but he was already late for work, and out of respect to his job, I did come in and get him to work. I also brought a deposit from the trucking company, so it wasn’t “all” about Ethan — me leaving work early. I am going to have a short paycheck all the way around this week, which will be fine. But I need to hit the hours next week and work a full week.

I’m just glad its the weekend. Yes, its been a short week. But. I’m ALWAYS ready for a weekend.
