What was the last thing that happened where we had to pay for something that we couldn't afford? Oh, yeah. The back door. Ha. Prior to that there was the flat tire on the freeway. And just yesterday we had to replace Saren's glasses which simply broke in half at the nose bridge thingy. It's only been a year since she got a new prescription and glasses so we had to pay out of pocket. We went with Eyemasters and got her two pairs (as per their special), figuring that with two pairs it might just be possible to not have to get her anymore glasses until the insurance will actually cover it again.
Today Pat and the girls were supposed to go see the new Terminator movie. This was his birthday gift and they were supposed to go last weekend, but we wanted to wait until Saren had her new glasses so that she could, you know, see the screen. So they're all excited and happy and finishing watching Terminator 2 on DVD before they go, and they walk outside only to see that the front driver's side tire is flat. And while I'm thankful that it didn't become that way while I was alone with 4 kids on the freeway, it still sucks. And really all three of the remaining tires need to be replaced so that's what Pat is doing right now, instead of seeing Terminator as he should be doing. Because I really don't want to end up on the freeway alone with 4 kids and a flat tire. And if you're going to buy one tire you can't afford, you may as well buy 3 tires you can't afford.
So, how long is this going to go on is what I'd like to know. There are several other potential pitfalls in our life at the moment, most of them house related. This is making the whole idea of actually going to the conference that we already paid for seem rather laughable.
Oh, yeah. Happy Father's Day.
