Today Im recuperating from a weekend from hell After an amazing Friday getting so much done and well my Mac being with me Friday night ..Saturday morning started out great .. got up... made breakfast... and well shoulda prolly gone back to bed and spent it snuggling with Mac instead of trying to do anything !!! My poor man he put my Nova up on jacks and proceeded to try to remove the pitman arm ..only to find out that the nut is HUGE and nope of course not I don't have that size socket or wrench .. he goes home to check.. um neither does he so I call my sis telling her Im coming over to borrow a tool...and of course THAT specific wrench and socket are gone and I KNOW that it was there before She did have an adjustable wrench big enough tho and the pickle fork I needed too so we head back home after grabbing some lunch for everyone and he works on it some more... which it luckily came off fairly easily .. then CRAP the one I got is the WRONG ONE its for manual steering not power steering.. went online and checked it out and on some sites they have confusing descriptions so there is a possibility that it could be ordered by mistake no ones fault really ... went to the manufacturers site and it showed two ...one with and one without and well the part number I was holding in my hand was without so I gave it back to my neighbor when he came home and showed him the diff and explained I needed THIS part number instead .. its all good ...I should have it in a few days ... Mac wanted to put the old one back on so I wouldn't be carless but I told him no ... just let it sit ... no need in fighting with it twice to get it off right??

So then we turned to getting my kids bike up and going so he could get to school (he was supposed to be riding anyways since he wanted to go to that school in the first place ) soooo the thing was the rim was tweaked and the tire was rubbing bad ... it looked like I was gong to have to scavenge my bike for a rim for his which I really didn't want to do...but I thought I'll try truing the wheel first... and OF COURSE my spoke wrench is AWOL but anyways I reacquainted myself with the how to and got to work on it .. took about an hour but made me feel good.. sooo I pump up the tire and sure as chit it got a leak so take off the tire AGAIN..and fix the leak.... I thought ... put it back together and grrrrrrrr he takes it for a test drive and comes back with a flat OKAY so by now other little things I try to do are screwing up .... time to STOP working ... I instead went in and started making dinner and my daughter comes over with her hubby for a visit

Sunday Mac takes me to get a new inner tube with goop inside to stop flats (he had offered one he had at home but it was the wrong size of course haha ) so we get back and I go to put it on and now the friggin derailleur is the cause of the grrrrrrr .. Mac keeps me grounded and calm (well as much as he can Im PISSED OFF by now )... and says hey I saw one of those bolts that you need (cause the one on my boys bike was bent) on that old pink bike in the back yard earlier so I get that and we FINALLY get all that part done.. I tried to buy a new rear reflector for his bike .. K mart didn't have any where I bought the inner tube. and the 99cents store had a flashing battery powered one but when we got home it was defective and wouldn't attach right so scavenged yet another part off the old pink bike... so its all done YAY!!!

Apparently with the stress of everything the past few weeks I guess I haven't been taking too good care of myself and well my youngest got a hair up her behind and well we had a big grrrrr...she kept on pushing my buttons yanno??And even tho I tried to stay calm BOOM!!! and well (here is the part Im gonna hear shit from the med folks here )I had dialed Macs number to hear his voice for the calming effect and next thing I know Im on the floor ... apparently I passed the heck out (i think its was a OFF switch in my head from stress *time to rest becky*) he came rushing over to find out wtf happened and wanted to take me to the ER (um NO and EEK) and today he has been keeping in contact with me all day checking on me.. I musta bumped my head and fell hard on my hip cause well they both hurt .. but didn't make enough noise for my kids to hear me fall they were still in their rooms when Mac got here so yeah today is a ME relax day ...Okay Im trying to make it that way but the phone wont stop ringing and its stuff I need to take care of not gonna do anything physical if I can help it tho heck it took me two hours back and forth to sit here typing this it hurts to sit... I see this weekend as a way to count my blessings (or at east im trying to ) I have my kids even tho sometimes I wanna strangle them most of the time I am truly blessed to have them.. I have my ability to fix things ... even tho sometimes it takes the long way round to happen.. I have my health ..even tho I should take better care of myself and not let things get to me ...I have my sister who is there for me even if not there physically I know she will let me use anything she has so I don't have to put out more $$ I don't have right now and my big blessing right now and I hope for always... my Mac .. he is there when I really need him if only to comfort and calm me You might want to take it to heart when all things seem to be going to shit .. count your blessings no matter how little they may be they add up !!! things COULD be worse I surely hope everyone elses day is wonderful and full of love and laughter
