I'd be lost..

Without my big kids. 

A took out a credit card to pay for my car.  I owe her $1500, the exact amount of my school bonus that I should get before the bill comes. 

Son of a bleep! Yes I do swear but I try not to.  ;) 

I so wanted to fix what I knew needed fixing.  Instead there were tie rods and control arms (2 for $230 each...yup, almost $500 for that alone) and my brakes were more than the pads and rotors.  Sway bars (no clue what that is, but anyway, it added up! They gave me a brake on the labor and parts where they could. 

But I'm still thinking, if we get it running well for a couple of years, it will be worth it.  Hoping I get an income tax return, then I can fix the rest of it.  The muffler and air issue are still there.  I hate the loud car and the jerking the car does.  *sigh*

I hate seeing the Ford Memes that say if you drive one you walk a lot.....I hope I am doing the right thing. 

On my sister, more digging was done.  It's a two year "on the lamb" road trip they took with a stolen car.  Still trying to find if he was legally divorced from his first wife.  Hard to tell because we need to know where that would have happened.
