My adventures of Cars on Thursday.
Thursday morning on the way to work bert crashed our car by over correcting in the snow. ( we have found out that it is totaled. He pretty much dinged up the drivers side of the car pretty good.)
Then that night I crashed my dad's truck by backing it in to a wash. I really don't have any excuses execpt the power was out, it was snowing, I didn't have my glasses on and I'm pregnant.
It was really scary excpecilly for the kids. The back window shattered and they were a little tramatized but thankfully not injured. The hardest part of the whole adventure was trying to get my pregant self out of the wash. But the baby seems to be fine. It's been moving around like always. I hurt my arm, I think just from holding on to the steering wheel to tight. It should be better in a couple days. Bert had a little whiplash stiffness, but other than that the kids haven't complaind of any injuries. It was very scary and exciting at the same time for them. When we got out of the wash, I was holding colt and asked if I could but him down so I could help grab kimber. No mommy, please, I am to sad. HE said . Then the when my dad came he souldn't stop talking about how grandpa's window was broken and we had to get it fixed.
All and All it was quite a night. The power was off all night and most of the morning so they did get to have some fun with flashlights.
(that is the ugly part the the story)
The bad part is we have to get a new car a little sooner than expected. So if any of you know of a good deal on a family car, let us now. I really don't want a van but I want something with a little better gas milage then a suburban. Since bert will bet driving it to work.
The good. I only have 4 weeks left until the expected arival and things seem to be going great. I have a wonderful husband who shovels the snow and makes me fires and breakfast and does laundry. My kids are so cute I amazed at the things I learn from them every day. Hopefully when this baby is born I will not be so irratble so quickly, and i can start feeling a little back to normal:)

What a week you've had!!! I'm glad that you guys didn't get hurt in all your crashes. How did you ever get the truck out of the wash with all this dang snow??? Holy cow and I can't believe you only have a month left. That went by fast! And just so you know, Mini Vans get way better gas mileage than SUVS. I actually wanted to get a minivan for that very reason, but we ended up getting a really good deal on a Yukon. I'm sure going to miss getting 30 mpg with my car, but we have more room now and it's been great! Happy car hunting! Look on KSL, they sometimes have some good deals.
I replied on The Sister Blog, but there is a Jeep Cheoke I think on my Mom and Dad's street for sale for $750. I don't know your price range, but for what it's worth, there it is.
