We took our van in to be fixed on Monday. Last week, Aaron replaced the spark plugs and wires. It made the van run so much smoother! It was wonderful...until the break light turned on and a few days later the "service engine soon" light came on and the blower for the heater stopped blowing. Why does it all come on at once?
Anyway, the van is in the shop and it is our only vehicle. I need to get some stocking stuffers and a few gifts for teachers, etc. I can't go to the store. It is starting to be frustrating.
I need to go volunteer in Luke's class. I was going to walk but it is raining/snowing this morning. Frustrating! We are hoping to get it back today. It is expensive, but not so much that we are suffocating under the pressure.
We really need to get an emergency fund for things like this. $500 would cover most repairs and problems!
Anyway, enough gripping! At least being stuck at home will give me time to make the angel costume for Luke's Christmas program. The kindergartners are the angel choir. I haven't started, unless you count finding the sheet that I'll adapt into a tunic of some sort.

our car had some issues this week too. Luckily, Joseph figured it out and it was under 20 dollars to fix! I was so surprised. Our car in Everett seemed to need major repairs every three months. Thats why we no longer have an emergency fund!
Sorry to hear about the car troubles! I need to get my rear in gear about Christmas too-mostly wrapping gifts, shuttling kids around & hopefully tacking down a few more elusive addresses!
Merry Christmas to you!
