Bad day

Okay, so I am frustrated. I had a bunch of errands I was going to run today and the whole nightmare started yesterday. I needed to go to the post office (3 blocks) in order to buy stamps and mail a bill that was due. Since I had the girls and it was -11, I figured I'd better drive. The van started fine and we went over there. We were inside for a grand total of 3 minutes but when we came out, the van would NOT start. I tried everything but it wouldn't even turn over. So, I decided we'd better walk home because it was cold and I couldn't just stay there. Thank goodness I had the stroller in the van but when we got home, I was completely frozen and so were the girls. Jason went and has his own story to tell about getting the van to start. He brought it home and all is good. This morning I go out because I need to run errands but again it won't do anything. My neighbor tried to help me jump it, but that didn't work. My neighbor across the street said I could borrow her car a little later today so I will because I have to go to the grocery store. Meanwhile, I plan on going to my parents tomorrow for the weekend and now I don't know if I can go because I need a car to get there. Hopefully, we get it figured out.

what a horrible day! One thing I will always be grateful for is that my husband is a talented mechanic..at least with Japanese models. There aren't many things worse than being cold and trying to get a car started..at least it sure feels that way when you're in the middle of it!
