Addendum: A day of Ups and Downs ...

I spoke too soon about the downs ...

Philip took the minivan in for repair and it needed a part that had been repaired once on a recall. And that part went bad, but Dodge wont honor a repair a recall repair again. Stupid.

Later, I came home to this odor in the house I couldnt figure out. About 20 minutes later I walked in the kitchen to a big pool of water. After cleaning it up, I opened the doors on the cabinets under the sink to discover one huge wet mess and the odor: wet wood. When Philip came home he discovered the garbage disposal was the culprit. Part of the metal had just rotted off and the hose from the dishwasher was dangling and showering everything under there. Philip went to Home Depot all by himself so it is a Cadillac disposer.

So $410 for the car, $200 for a new disposer and minus about $65 stolen items from the car ... it was a peachy, kiss money goodbye day!

We did start out good with the baby sonogram and we ended at the gym ... so it wasnt alllll bad! :)
