Dreams Come True

I have to start out saying this past weekend I had a dream I had a flat tire and my dad told me it was all fixed up and I went out to the car and it wasn't ... that in fact two tires were flat ...

so anyway ...

Today turned out to be crappy ... I got home in record time so I stopped at Target ... I knew they were taking their winter stuff out soon and I wanted a vest for me and some snow pants for skye ... I got them all soooooo cheap I was so excited ... less than 20 bucks ... you can't beat that ...

I went out to the car and it seemed very slanted ... I tried to pull out and that wasn't happening ... I got out of the car ... walked around the car ... and it was the flattest tire I have ever seen ... just destroyed ... I called AAA and waited an hour for them to get there ... in a car that has no working heat ... the AAA guy got there and couldn't get my spare tire off ...

So I had to call David ... who had to get Skye all bundled up and head over there ... and then try forever to get the spare tire off and he couldn't either ... it is jammed in there and the clip broke or something ... gotta get someone to check it out ...

So I got the spare off David's car while he jacked the car up ... got the donut put on and called Sears ... 30 minutes till close and if I could get there in 10 minutes they would help me out ...

Wouldn't you know the car was riding weird on the way over there ... and the back tire was 1/2 flat by the time I got there ... the other two tires looked horrible ... so instead of the 2 tires I was planning on getting (since you always buy in groups of 2) I wound up getting 4 new tires ... SO not the expense we needed right now ... I am just sick about it ...

The only saving grace was stopping at Target tonight ... otherwise this would have happened tonight and when I went out for my doctors appointment in the morning I would have had to deal with all of it then ... still it was way too much money ... damn it ...
