It all started when I took the truck in yesterday to get new tires. $900 later they told me I also needed new brakes. Emily couldn't last any longer, so I put that on my list for today.
We woke up today, so Mommy could go to the gym only to find out that the passenger side window broke during the night. (Scratch the gym) The only car repair place in our town said they couldn't get to it until next Tuesday. (Great) I decided to drive it to Wilmington (45 min away) because I had to pick up our computer, but I first had to wait for the pest guy to come spray for ants. While spraying, he pulled me out into the garage to tell me we had termites. (Seriously? Could this day get any worse?) Finally get to the brake place. 2 hours and 1 fussy baby later, the truck is finished. No place could fix our window today, though, so I had to drive another 45 minutes back home, going 65 mph, with the passenger side window gone. I had tried a tarp earlier, but you can't go over 50 and not go deaf with a tarp.
Tires.
Brakes.
Window.
Termites.
Most other wives are making welcome home signs right now. I am blowing through $2000 of our savings.
The next deployment better not be like this...
