The van

Ok I was hoping to make the candles today did not happen.  I did go and buy 50 feet of wicks for $3 at the local craft store, kinda made my day everything is always so expensive.  Now to the reason why I got nothing done today:  In Feb of this year I paid to put a brand new transmission in my Town & Country, which was ok because I have 260,000 miles on her, but this week on my way home from delivery some salad it would not shift eventually leaving my stranded on the side of the road.  I was super stressed because I was sure my phone would die soon and I was not walking in the cold.  I called my uncle who came with his buddy to pull me to town, this guy was ripping off the front end of my van. I was getting road rage while being pulled.  Well anyway by the time I get to town all I can think of is I can not afford $2500 for another transmission.  I let it sit and took my moms car to cool off.  Yesterday my husband looked I had busted a line, which made me feel only a little better I was still worried I had ruined my transmission.  We patched the line and got it to the garage, it was repaired today, it works great! Yippee!!!  Now wait for the bill!

Plastic bottle snowmen

Tomorrow when my kids get home from school we are going to make tea light snowmen from an idea in the new issue of the Family Fun magazine.  It looks simple, I hope it all goes well.  I will have pictures to post tomorrow, hopefully I have awesome snowmen to decorate with.

Weird Creepy Guy

Today my mother in law and my sister in law took my two oldest boys and her two youngest kids shopping.  They ended up a few towns away at Kmart.  They were walking around looking and having a good time.  A man approached them and took  up a conversation with my sister in law the whole time he is eye balling her purse, she somehow broke away from him.  His next customer was my mother in law, he was just chatting a mile a minute, by this time they are by the candy and he starts to try to distract my children with candy.  He was asking what they liked trying to get my mother in law to walk away from the kids and her purse.  She was getting worried at this point but got lucky when a store employee walked by and he sprinted away.  I am continually surprised by the nerve people have!
