What a day

Well first thing morning I get a call from the school nurse saying Sarah is sick and to come get her. So as Haley and I are getting on our shoes Haley is running around the house saying we're coming to get you Sarah. Over and over again. Well we get there and I had to go to her classroom to get her backpack and on the way back I stoped at the lunchroom to turn in the check for Joey and Sarah's breakfast/lunch milks and find out that we owe more money due to Joey buying his lunch when I send it. Well not too bad so we leave and on the way home I have to stop for gas. No biggie but after I fill up the tank I go to start the van to leave and it wont start. The clock on the radio is wrong so it is like my battery just up and died with no warning. I call my mom who calls Ivan and they both come to save me. Ivan jumps the van and it starts right up. Well I talked to Kirk several times thoughtout all this wanting to know what to do if/when we get it started. He told me to take it to Elwood( our machanic) Well he says you have a bad battery. We guessed this much already. So I have him put me in a new one. It is like working a jigsaw to get the battery in and out of this dang car. Elwood said they do this so you don't work on them yourself. HA well they (the company) still are not getting my money. I take everything to elwood that Kirk can't fix. I don't blame him for not wanting to change the battery on this thing. anyway $103.23 latter I have a new battery. My check engine light had been on for a long time but we never did anything about it since the van was running well. guess what. It was the battery that made it come on. go figure.And this all happened by 10 a.m. I'm crawling in a hole and hiding.LOL
Poor Sarah is still trying to keep food/drink down. I feel so bad for her but she isn't even running a temp. Very odd.Wish I could make her feel better.
