Hubby took the Cruiser in this morning and they dropped him off just as I was hanging up from my conference call. They need to keep it overnight because they need parts and it's not entirely safe to drive -- wheel bearings going bad in both front wheels.
Thank heaven I got the extended warranty on that thing. Bad wheel bearings in both front wheels can be very expensive to replace due to the labor costs -- having to remove brakes, rotors, drums, whatever, just to get to the bearing. So yeah. Happy dance, prayer of thanks, etc.
But the Exploder has a tire leaking air and hubby still needs to go to work tonight. We haven't driven it since my brother brought it back in August ... which is just over two months (although my math in my head just a minute ago said three ...). So I took it to the gas station and put more air in it (bro had done the same while he'd had it for the weeks they were here). We'll have to deal with it more permanently later -- still wanting to sell it, but right now, I guess I'm glad we didn't yet.
Other than that, the conference call went well this morning -- nothing bad dropped on us, at any rate. Not really any good news, like closing down India, came in, but that's okay. I didn't really expect it to.
Munchkin went on a field trip to the Timp Cave a few weeks ago. It was a pretty big deal and turned out well. Today, they took a field trip to a grocery store and a library and a park. They ate lunch while they were out. She has gotten so grown up about some stuff, like when they asked who wanted school lunch the week before the field trip, she stood up so she got counted. Before this year, she would have panicked and not known what to say. lol. But she's good. Happy.
I'm sleepy, but need to get a bit more work done before she gets home from activity day. then i'll make dinner and have a nappy. yay.

Dejavu - David's car is having bearings done on one side - had the others done a couple of weeks ago. Also just had the engine replaced :-O. Ouch. We had the same situation with backup cars - we had been meaning to sell the old van but hadn't yet and it runs fine, so he's been driving it. It has ants from sitting so long, but otherwise does pretty well.
Eeep. We just have spiders in the side mirrors. hahahaha. gah. Our plan eventually (after we sell the house and move closer to his job and UVU) is to get him a scooter so he can commute in that, and assuming we ever get pregnant, we'll get a minivan at some point.
At least your car isn't ACTUALLY exploding, despite it's nickname.
And I love field trips.
