Wasn't Expecting That....

Hey everyone, how are you all doing? Well, this evening got very stressful. Found out, by a middle schooler of all, that we have a flat tire. I am not sure how or when that happened, but I was in the pick up line to get Eli and a student knocked on my window to tell me that I had a flat tire. Wasn't sure how to get that taken care of, can't exactly drive far on it...and the only place in town to fix it is expensive. Thankfully tomorrow my mom will help me get it taken care of, after we drive out of town in the morning to take her car for an oil change. So tomorrow is going to be super busy. Don't get to sleep in even though it is Friday! At least I have Saturday and Sunday to sleep in...

I slept in until 2p. last Sunday. Hope the flat tire isn't too costly.

Sleeping in is nice. I'm hoping it could just be patched, but doubt it

@MommyOfEli2013 .........Sleeping is so important so when I can sleep in I know I need it and enjoy it.

You shouldn’t drive with a flat tyre. Haven’t you got a husband who can take care of this? In this world of equality it’s usually the man who still does this.

I had no choice but to drive on it. We both cannot take care of it. Though our 12 year old son thinks he could fix it lol

@MommyOfEli2013 Maybe he could. Did you let him try? Undoing the wheel nuts and jacking the car up is a task beyond most people.

@Orson_Kart we didn't know if he is strong enough and all that. Maybe he could, he likes to fix things

That's good. I'm hoping it can be patched so not to cost too much... but that's not my luck

Yes, very rough. Especially when you don't have money to take care of it. So glad she's willing to help us. Hoping it could just be patched
