Here is a pic of Derek's new tattoo. this isnt the unexpected expense, actually Derek didnt even have to pay for this!!!!
Sometimes in life we have those unexpected expenses and today was one of those days for me. Now im not one to spend lots of money on things, and am actually a very good saver, so i get peeved when i have to dip into savings for these "expenses." We have even managed to pay for EVERYTHING for Dreycin in cash and not credit(and with the help of family and friends with some gifts/giftcards). I by the way, hate credit cards and we only have 1. Anyways, Derek has been on me about going to get an oil change and tire rotation, well now a days i forget to put gas in my car. Well i went to Honda today to get my oil change and tires rotated and was then told that my tread was very close to being a 1? well to me that means nothing, they went on to explain that a new tire has a tread of 10. So here they were suggesting for me to at least buy two tires and I cant get a hold of my husband on his expensive IPHONE to ask him if i should wait until this weekend or just buy them at the dealership, and most importantly ask him if he thought they were ripping me off. Two hours later, an oil change, tire rotation, and two new tires, im checking out and my husband calls me back. Tells me i paid too much and how did i end up spending $400?!?! He said his phone wasn't working, and another meltdown was approaching. i think i was mainly upset because i could not get a hold of him, i mean i am 7months pregnant and what if I needed him ASAP? My other issue is that, in my opinion Men should take care of the cars(not a pregnant woman)and know when they need new tires, etc. It would be helpful if we had family here to depend on too, but we have no one. Even after being here for almost a year, I dont know who I would call if I was going into labor and couldn't get a hold of Derek. We just dont have many friends. After leaving the car dealership I was able to feel how much smoother my car drove. I get frustrated because i know if i were working full time i would have not had to dip into my savings and paid cash instead, but I know im doing the right thing by taking care of me & Dreycin:) Raising a child is what we wanted to do, so we are willing to take a little more sacrificing on the $ side to do it.
Needless to say im looking forward to my appointment on wednesday because we have a sono. i cannot wait to see my beautiful little boy, it will be the best bday present(yes i turn 25 this weekend). I still have not taken 7month pictures of my belly, and hopefully i can remember this weekend & have derek help me! My mom also gave me good news this afternoon that she will probably be moving here shortly, there is another HCA hospital near Louisville in Frankfort that has a NICU she can transfer too and not lose all her benefits. My dad also applied for a job at the same hospital I work at, but the downtown location! Keep my fingers crossed that everything works out. After today I could use my momma here! Bad news she gave me was that she got a ticket in the mail for running a red light in richardson....funny thing is that she doesnt know who was driving her or my dad!!!! Life, unexpectedly or not, it happens i guess!!!
I know how you feel.
ReplyDeleteI do not take my car to get the oil changed anymore or do anything on it, Sean does all that.
I got ripped off big time once and that's all it took.
Those places see a woman coming and they immediately get dollar signs in their eyes.. pathetic.
well after looking on sears.com i saw that the tires were about the same so i dont think i got ripped off, i just think Derek should have been the one 1. changing my oil and 2. taking care of my tires/car! but oh well i just had a bad day yesterday!! glad to hear you are healthy!!
