My Daughter Just Called.....

She was driving the girls to Headstart and that rod finally went all the way out on the van.

Please say some prayers that we figure out how to come up with the money to replace the engine.

It did us good for a couple of months and just over 325 miles of driving.  But, now we are back to paying someone to get the kids to school and to pick them up.  Back to missing church.  You get the picture.

Thank you my friends.

I so know how you feel, I wish you all the luck!

Is she on Gather? Maybe she can make a few points that way. I know how it feels ti be in a cinch. I'm gathering for points so I can get to a friend's funeral on Friday.

It's nuts!! Money can be a real #$%^@ sometimes.
Leah Christensen Mar 24, 2009, 1:18pm EDT
And of course she's in my prayers!!!! I know the feeling.

I hope things work out quickly!

Oh my gosh, how horrible.....you know, from the very beginning, I was really worried about that vehicle when you told us all......but sometimes, I know a person doesn't really have a lot of choice.....engines are very expensive, even reconditioned ones........good luck....sure hope you can find something.

She is in my prayers.

I am surprised that headstart does not pick them up. In my town they run a bus route and pick them up.

Hope things get better for you.
