My truck is in pieces

Posted in Thoughts, and Thrifty Ideas

A few months ago, the speedometer on my Suburban went out.  It was a gradual process.  At first, there was a click, click sound.  Then, it started to get stuck at certain speeds.  Finally, it just stopped working.  We took it over to the Chevy dealership, and they confirmed that it was the cluster motor.  They said they would have to replace the whole instrument panel.  The parts alone would cost somewhere in the range of $500-600.  That figure didn’t include labor. **sigh** When we went home, D hopped on the internet to do some research.  It turns out that…

My Mother’s Day 2010

Posted in Family, and Holidays

While Munchkin and D show me appreciation for the things I do every day, they make a special effort on Mother’s Day to make the day great for me.  In get spoiled with extra attention and little gifts from Munchkin.  This year, this picked out this huge singing card that was hilarious!!  In addition to the card, Munchkin arranged these flowers for me from a bouquet from the store.  I think she did a great job.

Happy Mother’s Day!

Posted in Family, and Holidays

Munchkin is getting so big.  While you can’t tell it in this picture taken on Easter Sunday, she’s nearly as tall as me now.  She’s growing physically, mentally, and spiritually.  She is truly a blessing to me.  I am so grateful that the Lord trusted us with this precious child.  Children truly are a gift from God. Happy Mother’s Day!!

Wish I was Riding…

Posted in Family

Poor D.  He’s going through dirt bike withdraw due to my ankle injury.  We go out most weekends after Munchkin’s game, but we haven’t been out for 2 weekends in a row.  The weather is getting hot, so our days out will be much fewer.  He just wants to go out and ride.  As he was picking up the groceries with Munchkin today, I’m sure that he was thinking, “I wish I was out riding…”
