OK. So, I find out it is going to cost us $2000 to fix my very old minivan that only cost us $2500 to buy over a year ago. Hmmmmm.................let me think. NO WAY!
Apparently, something called the head gasket blew in the engine. That is a really bad thing.
Just so you all don't worry that a mother of 5 doesn't have a vehicle.....Billy has a Ford F150 and a little blue Ford Escort. So, ironically the truck, that Billy is often caught calling 'his', is now for my use until we figure out what to do.
We do have a friend that is a mechanic trying to figure out a better solution. Such as a whole new engine, which is apparently cheaper than just a head gasket.? Sure, OK, whatever. Someone just please give me some solution so I don't feel so helpless.
Because of the van situation I went ahead and threw myself a 'pity party'. I am very good at organizing these sorts of things. I wake up cranky and immediately decide I am disgustingly fat, ugly, and very stupid. Then I make everything I do 10 times harder than it should be all day.
I think of everything bad that has ever happened to me, relay all of these things to my dear ever listening family and friends, and eat non stop all day long.
No one else ever comes to my pity parties. I wonder why?

LOL! I have to ask...is anyone else ever INVITED to your pity parties? I doubt it if you're hogging all the food for yourself. A party without food to share isn't really a party at all...
I saw your old mini at Home Depot the other day. I swear it was the same one from HS. I almost burst into song...Mike didn't get my nostalgia.
sorry about your van . . . i think this post was over a week ago, so i'm hoping you have found a solution. bad timing i know . . . hope all is well this week.
