The truck is fixed. Well it runs anyway, goes forward, backward. It's a start anyway.

This Week

Monday I drove the truck around, ran some errands, put in some applications, came home, yelled at my kids, etc. Tuesday me and the kids hop in the truck to go to walmart, the truck starts (yeah!), I put it in drive, it DOES NOT GO! I try reverse, nothing, it goes nowhere. Kevin calles one of his friends to come and look at it for me. He says it acts like it the truck is out of transmission fluid. Ok that is a little odd, but easy to fix. So he raises the hood to check the transmission fluid, and can not find the dipstick. He fixes cars for a living so he knows what he is talking about. He can not find the dipstick? The fill tube, and dipstick are gone. Huh? How does that happen? He figures Kevin knocked it loose when he was changing the starter, and all the fluid drained out. Until we get the part replaced we can not put more fluid in. It will be at least Friday before he can fix it for me, or Kevin can fix it this weekend. So I am without a vehicle AGAIN!

I am ready to SCREAM!

SO the job hunt is not going well.......

Last Week

Ok last week was going ok until Wednesday. I woke up and went to check on the clothes I had put in the dryer the night before, and they were still wet. I checked the timer and it hadn't finished the cycle. So I tried to restart it, and it wouldn't restart. Dead dryer. So I decided it was bright and sunny outside I would buy a rope to put up a clothesline outside. We had some other running around to do too, so me and the kids got ready to, jumped in the truck (the van got fixed the week before, so of course, Kevin took it to Kansas), drove the truck down to the end of the block, stopped at the stop sign, and the truck dies (it has been doing this every time you stop for a couple a month or so, but Kevin didn't figure he needed to fix it or something), So I try to restart it, and it won't restart. So I'm sitting at the stop sign, a line of cars behind me honking and generally annoyed because I wasn't moving. After about five minutes some guy comes from the other direction and offers to help. He got a lady in a truck behind me to push the truck around the corner, and I was able to park it. Me and the kids walked back home. I didn't get to buy any rope to hang my clothes on, and of course, I can't find any around my house. I finally found a dog cable to tie up outside, I tie it up, get my clothes all hung up, and it gets all cloudy and ready to rain. It stayed cold, cloudy, and rainy the rest of the week. I didn't get many dry clothes.

Kevin came home for the weekend and switched out my dryer with one he got out of his dad's house, it is very old and takes about 3 hours to dry clothes, but at least they are dry. He also put a new starter in the truck. He can not figure out why it keeps dying. So I am just supposed to deal with that. But it does start.

Other Updates
Well I can't think of much else going on. I am currently looking for a new job. I quit my last one when I had trouble cashing my paycheck. Aparently this has been a problem with other employees for a while. So hopefully I will find a new job soon. Other than that all is well, I think.

Cameron Boy Scout Camp

Ok you have all heard the stories of Cam's week at camp. It definatly did not go too well. Mostly he says he is not going back next year, but he also makes comments about what he will do next year at camp. He talks about camp all the time. We will see. Here is a picture of him showing off his tent, and the rocket he made in one of his classes.

My Van

OK Here is my new van. We have had a bit of trouble with it. The day I got it licenced it was working fine, then that night Kevin went to use it and called me asking "How long has it not been going in reverse?" Well Sam and I had been running errands all day and the reverse worked fine. Maybe it just didn't like Kevin driving it. So we had to get the transmission fixrd on it. I just got it back today and it is working great.

Cameron's Presentation

On Tuesday night Cameron had to make a power point presentation on a research project he had been working on in rainbows (gifted). He was a little nervous, but he did very well.

Water Fight

The kids have been enjoying the warmer weather. A couple of weeks ago they decided to have a water balloon fight. They got each other pretty wet.
