Why does this always happen?

I woke JSL up this morning to head to get an oil change and inspection for my car. I knew that my tires may not pass inspection since 3 were originals from four years ago and the other just replaced after the accident. JSL and I went to hang out with dad who works there and about an hour later the man from service comes by. I immediately knew it wasn’t good. If my car is simply ready he calls dad for me to leave. I said to my father “Oh shit, P’s coming that isn’t a good sign”

Sure enough once again car goes in for something easy and 3 hours and $355 later I leave. Luckily one part that was dead was covered under my extended warranty. That means I only had to pay $100 deductible instead of $300 – so the bill could have been $555 + labor for that part. This reminded me that my car had been bucking when I shift from say drive to reverse. Sure enough these are the root of it. So, I’m lucky they caught these before something bad seriously went wrong . . . like when we go to visit Uncle I and Aunt M in a short while. That would not have been cool.

Stitches H-E Double Hockey Sticks!

*sigh*

Yesterday NHL stayed home to have his stitches out. Thank goodness Aunt S came with us. It was horrible. Since the doctor was the ONLY one in he was over 45 minutes late. That combined with nap time made things horrid.

NHL flipped when he took the bandage off, so you can imagine the horror in actually removing the stitches. A nurse came in to hold his head still, I had his arms and body, and Aunt S had his legs (poor JSL was crying in his stroller during all of this). Now the tricky part. Every time NHL screamed at the top pg his lungs his chin moved. Try taking a stitch out from a moving target. It was unreal.

When the stitches came out I wanted to cry. It still looked horrible. I wasn’t sure if it looked any different 5 days later. I think it may not be as deep, but it was still very open. *WAH* My poor baby has a nasty scar thanks to negligence at daycare – GRRRRRRR!

So we have sterri strips on it to keep the skin together. No pool or sprinklers for a while. I am so angry. I know accidents happen, but this SHOULD and COULD have been prevented.

On that note JSL and I are off to get my car inspected. Will post more later about the house scare last night.
