A NEW CAR!!!!!!!

We just got a new (used) car!!!! I'm so excited! It just happened so out of the blew. We have a Toyota Camry 2001 which is 'ok'. And the 2nd car was a Izuzu Trooper 1996 which was a stick shift SUV. It had a V6 but needed a V8 so had no power, it rode like an Army truck. So Matt was poking around car dealerships and stumbled into a 2004 Buick Century, white with only 32k miles on it and it rides like a DREAM! It has a V6 engine which makes the pick up MUCH better. I drive 30-40 minutes and about 1/2 of that on the express way. I need oomph. The Toyota was poky had a V4 pulling a car that needed a V6 engine. The ride in the Century is so pillowy it feels like I'm floating to work. The seats are much more comfy than the Camry, but the interior is smaller. This is totally a MOM GOES TO WORK CAR and that's it.

It doesn't have those kid safe locks in the back. WHY THE HELL NOT??? I think it's cause only old people buy this car. GEE what does that say about us? lol.

So we did it, it was 12K and we got $5,200 on the Truck made us pay in cash $6,800. OUCH. That will definitely take a bite out of the check book. I get 3 paychecks in July and a tax refund and the company gifted me with some stock that I can cash in in March 2006. Maybe I'll win at the Casino next week with Mom and the Sis's! lol

Night!

HEY Johnny goes to summer school tomorrow. They're both talking so good now. Charlie's new thing is every time I leave the room he yells "HEY, Wait a minute!" lol. He's still very demanding and screamy and tantrumy and cryingy. Ugh.


bye! Wish me luck tomorrow, I go as a Sheep Among the Wolves.
