Getting Ready Part 1

Today has been a busy day. This is the first time I have been able to sit and think about whats going on and what I need to do. I am trying to concentrate but I can hear the kids bickering back and forth. We are leaving in 2 days for Miami and Key West. So needless to say I have been busy this week trying to get the house clean and laundry done. These chores are never ending but while trying to leave it seems impossible. I also had an appointment today to get the car looked at and I was so aggravated. After sitting for 2 hours for a simple oil change they come back and tell me I need new brakes and roters. I was blown away. I have had the car a little less than a year. Its a 2008 and was owned before me but after hearing 700 dollars to fix I was flabbergasted. I decided to get a second opinion. Thank goodness I did. Come to find out I just need new brake pads for the front and back. So 700 dollars quickly turned into 150. I must have done something good to have a break like that. Well the kids have finally settled down. They are just so excited to be at the beach already. I cant blame them though I am exited myself. I am just dreading the 21 hour car ride. Well I better get back to it. The dryer just went off and I don't think its going to unload itself.
