You know how I posted I vacuumed? I just did it again. More breadcrumbs. Prolly my own fault for leaving them out again.
In better news, we looked at new cars today, so we could get out from under our current payment. The van we looked at (Chevy Venture) didn’t suit our needs. I am actually hoping to find an SUV we all fit in instead of a van. Or a large car, like a wagon or something. We also looked at a Cavalier for Michael. His dad is going to keep that on the lot for a bit, because if a vehicle does come in to suit our needs, yay for us. That means I’ll get a car, he’ll get a car, and all for less than we currently pay on one car. It sucks that van wasn’t quite right. There is virtually no leg room in the back seat, so the boys wouldn’t have been ok back there. Otherwise it was great. It’s a shame really.
My dad said mom isn’t so hot these days. She had a bad morning. Said the day got better though. I wonder when I’ll be going down there now. If we keep the current van, I may have to go down for othe purposes before October 1st, which would give me a great “excuse” to go down and check on everyone and not worry her. We’ll see. My MIL will probably be driving down with me, and my dad said he could fly her back up if it looked like it would be extended (beyond a few days). The question we all have is, if I do come down, and it looks like she’s fine, how long do I stay? How long is reasonable? A week? A month? Six weeks? Where do you draw the line? I worry if I go, and come back, I wont be able to go when I really have to. I worry he’ll call too late and I wont make it down anyway. If we drive straight through it’s about 20 hours IIRC. Call it 24 to account for stops for food and bathroom and to stretch. Call it two days if we wind up stopping over night (more than likely with three kids in the car). What if he waits so long to call, it just happens? We knew with Erin that morning. What if he calls and it’s that day? He said he’d fly us down, but OMG the airfare for same day last minute for four seats? Plus the drive to Pittsburgh to save a little money rather than fly out from PKB.
I need to stop borrowing worries, eh?
