The road side recovery

To day could quite possibly of been the worst day ever.... well this week at least!!!!

Brooke has a slight bowel problem... she gets kinda constipated and can take up to 3hrs to "go"... And this morning was one of those days!! So I sit with her and comfort her best I can, and I call my sister to ask her to take Brett to school. Christian doesn't drive!! So he packs his lunch up and waits for Holly (my sis) to collect him, mean while, I'm up stairs with Brooke!

So time passes by and Brooke does her business.. I come down stairs and Christian is in the bath, you have to walk through my kitchen to get the the bathroom, and as I do so i notice Bretts lunch on the side....

I said "Chris, does Brett not need his lunch today?" Obviously being slightly sarcastic!! To which he replyed, "oh shit!!!"

So we get in the car, (after he was dressed) to take Brett's lunch. His school is only a 10mins drive away so its not a problem!! Anyway, literly 2mins into the journy, my car STOPS... dead!!!!!

Great!!! So having no idea of what the hell is under a bonnett, i called the AA Roadside recovery!! The kind sweet lady on the phone said OK Mrs Wilkinson, someone will be with you within 80 yes 80 mins!! OK...I'm sat in the car with Brooke, who by now is poohing more freely, and I have no changing bag, and Christian who doesn't want to leave me on my own, and to be fair its a busy road with no side walk, so it wouldn't of been safe to walk any way!!!

80mins later.... No AA... 85mins later and cheers from Lia, he arrives....lovely sweet angel man!!! And the kind sweet angel tells me my cam/timing belt has snapped....... and can cost up to £800.00 ($1600.00) to fix.... Still I won't get mad, no sir, this is the new me.... not to moan on and on!!!!

He tow us home and I take Brooke in to change her...... then I CRY!!!! Still i didn't get mad, and i feel good about that!!!!

By the way I found a mobile garage who is coming to fix my car on Tuesday, and will only cost me £350.00 ($700.00) ONLY.... bless, i've just found a new angel!!!

Life huh, well these things are sent to try us.... and like i said, this would be funny if it wasn't happening to me.... but it is... and its NOT funny!!!!

and p.s... sorry aout the spelling/typo's..... the spellcheck isn't working!!! And I can't spell!!!!!!!! AT ALL!!!! xxx
