Venting...

Today is my 6th, yes sixth! day without a car. Very inconvenient, to say the least. Especially these last days before Christmas. I live over 30 minutes from "the big town", so I cannot just walk or anything. We found out that the 4 wheel drive did not work on our suburban. Of course we discovered this wonderful thing when we needed it. Anyway, it is supposed to be fixed today, but we'll see. As of yesterday they had not received the part yet, and it's an all day job to put it back together. We can (thankfully) all fit in hubby's dodge. But, there is no room for anything extra. Hardly room for a diaper bag. So we are praying our car is done before Christmas and all our travels to see family (1 hour away).

So, you might think this is a wonderful opportunity to finish all my holiday baking etc. BUT, I am out, yes out, of butter. Almost out of flour and sugar and eggs....do you see a problem there? So even if our car does get fixed today, we will not be able to get it till this evening. Which means I'll be out there with all the other last minute shoppers (which I am not...or never have been before) and will have time to be really stressed about getting the baking done.

Okay, I am, hopefully, done venting and complaining.
