"my car"
I drive a 1994 Mustang GT 5.0 5-speed, and I LOVE IT!!!
However...It is 11 yrs. Old & things have well, lets just say, starting to go wrong.
My windows do not roll down on both sides (haven't in about 2 yrs) They want $300.00 a piece to fix them. I have gotten several quotes and it is always the same answer $300.00 a window.
I need 4 new tires (the 5th set) they cost about $750.00 for 4 new ones (that is middle of the road tires)
My tags and inspection are out!! Tags $70.00, Inspection $40.00
Oil is overdue $30.00
Total about 1,500.00
So...My ???? Is this: Do I fix these little minor things?? Or Do I take the $1,500.00 and put it down on a new "2005 Mustang GT convertible"???
I'm getting some money back from my Income Tax, and after I give my sister back the money I owe her, I will have some left.
I really want a new car, but I will not trade mine in. I would just put that one up in the garage and make it into my project car. We "sally & I" have been through way too much together.
I can not get this "new car fever" out of my mind!!!!
What am I going to do??????
My "sleeping" issue
HELP!!!! Sometimes I just can't sleep. My brain will not quit working, worrying, it's always thinking!!! Someone...make it stop!!!!!!
The last time I had a good nights sleep was March 18th, 2000. How do I know the date so well...that was the last night that I fell asleep preg. w/ my daughter. I had Vivien on March 19, 2000. Ever since I had her, my sleep has gone down the drain.
Unless I take something to help me sleep then I do not stay asleep or I have trouble getting to sleep. Then it is like 3 am and I figure what is the use, I would just have to turn around and get right back up a 5am.
So...I'm about to have surgery on my shoulder and hopefully I will get some much needed rest. I don't really like the fact that Vivien will not be with me and she will be at her dad's house for the week after I have this done. I will miss her so much. But...to get fully recovered, I need my rest. Sure it will be drug induced, but maybe, just maybe my brain will shut off for once in 5 yrs. That would be nice.
Turning 34
Today I turned 34 yrs old. I got up late like I do every day(because I hate my job). Had to drop my 5 yr old off with Nana (because she has strep). Then flew to work (only 5 mins late), worked till' 4:30, went to Nana & Papa's (my mom & dad), ate my favorite dinner that my mom has made me since I can remember...My favorite meal you ask...The one that if I was ever on Death Row and it came down to my LAST MEAL ever!!!...This is what it would be...my Mom's roast beef & carrots, my Dad's famous mashed potatoes & Coke to drink. That was the only good thing about my day is getting to go to my mom's house and have my 5 yr old Vivien, Stephen 10 & Zach 7 (my nephews) greet me like I was the BEST person in the world and they had waited all day to just say 3 little words to me "HAPPY BIRTHDAY NENE", yes..That is what they call me my nephew Stephen could not say Stephanie when he was little so it just came out that way and stuck. I love it!!!! They were all over me all night and it was the greatest.
That is the reason I get out of bed every morning and go to work...For Vivien and my family.
