A little perspective

Yesterday's post was a little bit (okay a lot) of a downer, I know! Today is a little better. My car is still not very driveable (except to take Brayden to and from school), but I know it will get fixed. By who and for how much, that I don't know. Apparently when the lug nut broke, the bolt it screws onto broke with it. Chris' brother is a car-fixing genius and they spent five hours together last night trying to get it fixed, but they didn't have one tool they need, so no luck. Hopefully there will be a repair shop with an opening today.

I didn't get to bed as early as I would've hoped last night, but I feel semi-rested and I don't have my niece today, so I will get to just kind of relax and take it easy today.

And sometimes just a little step back is all I need to realize that my day wasn't as bad as it seemed when I was right in the thick of it. I have an amazing husband who was willing to drop everything and put his own plans on hold to help me. And fortunately I heard the "thud, thud" of the tire right away and didn't drive on it too long and ruin the rim or the tire. And one of the advantages to no naps or a short nap for the boys is an early bedtime! Everything will be okay, the weekend may even be a little salvageable!!
