Car trouble!

Yep. Something that started out as a small hole in my radiator has turned into a bit 'ol fiasco!! Here is the deal. Keep up now.....we paid a guy to replace our radiator that had a hole in it. Said "guy" did and not only did he do that....he gave us a radiator that had an internal leak. After driving it around for a week and a half we realized something was STILL leaking from the bottom of our car. SO i take it back to said "guy" and he replaces #1 radiator with #2 radiator. I drive it for 2 weeks and figure out that something is wrong with my car. It was doing funny things so while in Levelland seeing my parents my mom gives me her car to drive and my dad takes my car to the Ford dealership where he works, and where we bought the car. SOOOO....2 weeks later and lots of warranty work done and money spent...we figured that there was a problem with the transmission. My dad brings me the car only to find that the problem was not fixed. We still have a PROBLEM!!! I take it to a shop here and they tried to charge me $350 to tell me it was broken. Yeah after I turned on the Julie "charm" the charges were waived and I was on my way. I even heard Tyler say to his teacher, "yeah see that stuff leaking out from under that car....thats MY mom' car" . UGH how embarassing!! Long story short....My car is still in the shop and I have been without my car for 2 weeks. Matt was toting me around until my mom traded me again and my car is in the shop in Levelland and I am driving my moms Explorer........WHEW. Needless to say I have a few choice words to say to above said "guy" who caused all of this! And I might just have to trade the piece of shit in and get me a

I just LOVED Heather's and I think I just need to go get me one too! LOL! My plea to Matt is, what I save in gas will go to the payment! Yeah right!

On a lighter note. Roadrunners finally got their beer license and are serving bottled beer. We were stoked! It is slow go but we think the beer will be a hit. Pottery Ranch is SLOW! We are hurting for business and are ready for the Christmas rush! I will have to take pictures of my new stuff I have painted! The kiddos are doing fabulous! Tyler straightened up in school and Raegan LOVES her daycare! It is so comforting to know this as I drop her off every morning. We are still shopping for a house. The one I loved did not accept our offer and the house was already overpriced. We found out they were getting forclosed on by the bank and had to sell it for no less than the asking price. So GOOD LUCK is all I have to say to them!! But anyway we are still looking! I have been watching the Biggest Loser and as I do when a new one starts......I'm ready to jump on the weight loss bandwagon. In fact there are a lot of things I am ready to change about my life but too much to mention now. I have some decisions to make and some soul searching to do I'm sure I will rant about them in another post. Thanks for reading! Julie

Kindergarten TAKE 2....CLICK

Well Tyler made it to day 10 and then......he ended up in the Principal's office! Yep! Couldn't believe the phone call Matt got from the teacher that Tyler had "poked" another child in the cheek with a fork at lunch! Of course you can guess my reaction...."He STABBED a kid???????ALREADY????" Ha! Yep I tend to exaggerate. I knew he might end up in the Principal's office some day (maybe 2nd grade) but not even 2 weeks into kindergarten? Man....what is in store for me? If you know me then you know that I insisted Matt march up to the school and BEAT HIM (were my exact words)....but Matt reminded me that it is not like when we were in school and we could get CPS called on us for "beating" our child! Strike 3 on "Mother of the Year". So he just got his but busted when he got home. So needless to say I'm praying week 3 goes off without a hitch....but I'm not going to hold my breath! On another note...Matt and I are celebrating our 6th anniversary on the 14th! I cant believe it has been that long! And what better way to celebrate than to buy a house!! Yep...we put in an offer on a house today! I cant wait! I have been on the lookout for a house I like and I finally found one! I will keep everyone posted on the result of our offer!! I hope we can get a good price on it cause I think I'm already tooo attached to it. Julie
