Why is it that when something goes wrong everything else goes wrong along with it? It's been probably at least 3 months since we had a blown coolant hose on our van on our way back from Salt Lake and last Monday the van decided not to start. Because it is an '06 it's not easy for Dan to be able to diagnose himself or even fix, for that matter. So, this morning we towed the van around the corner to a mechanic that Dan knows and trusts and we found out that when the van overheated on that trip home it blew the head gaskets and it just took these last 3 months for everything to finally come to a head and the van completely broke down. So, these blown head gaskets mean a worse case scenario of $2,000.00. We already still owe my Midwife $1,100.00 for the birth of baby Ace, which consequently is supposed to be paid by this Monday. We were having a hard enough time trying to figure out how to come up with that money and now we have to figure out how to come up with another $2,000.00? At least we know what it is like to have only one vehicle, since we did it for a year before we moved down here, and we are lucky that Dan's job is just up the street, less than 5 minutes away. I know it will all work out eventually, but it sure is hard to see the end of the tunnel when I'm so immersed in it. I'm really hoping that with the birth of this baby I'll be able to forget about all this stupid money stress and just enjoy being a mommy to a newborn.
