I survived me and mom's shopping trip today.

Went to 2 thrift stores, Ollies, Buybacks, Kroger

and Captain D's.

I spent about $5.00 on things from the thrift store 

for the diaper cake.

like baby socks (both boy and girl since we don't know the sex), 

a pair of booties, rubber bands

and some decorative butterflies.

Tomorrow I'm on the hunt for a wicker basket

and basket filler and a stuffed animal and then

hopefully I'll have everything I need to make it.

Right now I'm in a lot of pain.

Not saying it wasn't there earlier but it's

getting uncomfortable now.

I take ibuprofen during the day

and a pain pill before bed.

I keep chalking it up from my cough which

seems to be getting better which doesn't make

sense as to why the rib pain, which is now

going into my back, is not getting better.

Oh well I complain about it but deal with it

and trudge on because I don't want anymore doctor bills.

Working on getting paperwork from hubby's work

still to try and get his one doctor bill waived or reduced.

9:50pm

We had our auto mechanic come out tonight

to check out hubby's car to see what may be 

wrong with it smoking out the tailpipe.

We didn't know if we should sell it, scrap

it or try to fix it.  The smoke is blue which tells me it's oil.  

I'd really hate to loose this car because it

still runs good if that makes any sense.

It just puts out lots of smoke from the tailpipe which can't be good.

Anyways the guy said it was the manifold gaskets

or something to that affect as my head feels like

I got a good buzz going because of taking a pain pill

and probably aren't thinking too clearly at the moment.

He's charging us $120 to take apart the top half

of the motor to replace the gaskets and spark plugs.

I thought that was pretty good for that kind of labor.

That won't happen til tomorrow morning though

as it was too dark out tonight for him to do it.

He guessed it would take about 3 hours.

I'd of hate to of seen how much this would

have cost at Goodyear to have done!

Well I'm gonna jump off here and probably head to

bed soon.   Pain pills are making me woozy.
