Ugh, Just my luck something not so great would happen would happen at 9 months pregnant. I went to leave for my eye exam today, backed out my driveway and my car would only go in reverse! I live on a corner slot house, so i was stuck backwards at the stop sign lol. Yea not really funny, I surely wasn't laughin...I couldn't even take my foot off the break since it wouldn't go in park. I called Kenna my good friend/neighbor that lives across the street. We decided to turn my car off, it still went forward even with it off, so we were able to move it a little forward right b4 my driveway, so that was a plus...I put my emergency brake on. She called up a friend of hers that knows a bit about cars. They come about 10 mins later and after him lookin at it for like 10 mins, and me freakin out bcuz I thought the transmission was screwed(my husband had to have his replaced and it was a hefty bill). He showed me it was the transmission linkage clip. Which is just this little piece that connects to the gears of the transmission. The nut is all rusted and had made it fall off. He called his mechanic and I guess with my model of car u have to replace the whole cable when u replace a clip, Im hopin it won't cost much, im sure it'll cost way less than a whole new transmission, which I was most worried about. I noticed a few days ago, my car would kinda skip, like the accelarator would go up and down without me even touchin the gas, and the engine light came on for a minute. Now I know why. So now its still sittin outside my front yard, in the street...bcuz the clip could fall off again from switchin gears, So he said it'd be best to face the way we gotta go and jus switch into one gear to be safe, so gonna just drive it to the mechanic tomorrow, where he will have to order the part so I guess im gonna have to drive my husbands car for a few days...which im sure he wouldnt be happy about lol..but o well. His battery is dead, so i'll have to have kenna jump me, and hope nothing will go wrong with his car. Damn cars. I've been saying I want a new car, I think I found my reason ha...No, we only have 8 more months of paying on my impala, then its paid off...so that'll make 2 cars we've paid off...and once I pay it off, then hopefully we can get that Tahoe I want.
Im upset I missed my eye exam, I know my eyes have got worse bcuz sometimes I have to squint to see stuff with my glasses on...I need a new contact exam and more contacts too. I called and cancelled my appt, and they said they are booked up til the 3rd of March...ugh. Stuff always happens when I have plans, it sucks. So about 3 more weeks til ladybug is here. I have her room all set up, all I have to do is do her wall decor/border and hang up her valance. I actually decided on washin some of her clothes, mainly just the 0-3 months, blankets, towels, burp clothes. That took over 3 loads, I didn't realize I had bought so much. Some of the clothes are sets with longsleeves/sweaters. Which i don't know if she'll beable to wear, since in 3 months it'll be June here and it gets pretty hot that month. Good thing my sister is having a girl and I can send them to her, or if I wanna be a bitch, I could take them back since I've kept all receipts when I bought clothes. I might jus have to go that bitch route. =P Oh, and we got another dog...A 4 month old toy chihuahua, named Melanie...she's like 2 lbs, we got her about a week ago, she's still scared and timid. I think she was raised outside and had no people contact. She does follow me everywhere now and cry when I leave the room, but won't come to be when I call her, and when I grab for her she ducks down to the floor. She's one confused ass puppy. I put a ad for her on craigslist, i've had ppl contact me about her but nothing further.. I found out my husbands brother's fiance said we could get one of their puppies. They breed chihuahua's, but she won't be ready til March... And she said we could have her for free! I wish she woulda told me sooner. Now im really hopin someone will want Melanie...I'd like to get $200 for her, since I paid more than that for her, but ppl jus tend to be asses and want everything for free.
Well I gotta get Olivia in the bath and relax for the night...Hopin these next 20 days fly by...I feel like a whale, and have pretty bad pelvic pains.
