I called the Saturn dealership, and they gave me the price for my car repairs. Only 139.48. Much less than I thought it would be. I was even able to pay by check so I didn't have to add it to my credit card debt.

(I will most likely have to pay my Hu Hot bill on my credit card as I don't think they take checks and i am pretty sure I won't have enough cash to cover it.)

I will only be paying for six of my kids, since one is on a family vacation and another doesn't want to go, and myself of course. It will be $8.89 per lunch. I think beverages are extra. I'd appreciate it if they would buy their own beverages, but I suppose most of them will not bring money. That's the way it usually goes.

My knee is starting to ache again. it must be that it does this whenever a weather system is rolling in. Sigh.

It's supposed to start snowing tomorrow around 5 pm. And according to the Yahoo weather thingy, it isn't supposed to stop until Saturday. Ugh.

Normally I'd be rejoicing if we were looking at a snow day on the last day of school before Christmas vacation, but with the Bolshoi trip hanging in the balance...well....let's just say I am NOT rejoicing.

Ooooh....more good news. Kim and Ryan went to pick up my car for me as they are aids and I have been in class. I asked Kim to check for my camera and it was there!!! Yay!!!!

It is also colder than billy hell, so I am sure the batteries are doornail dead now. Sadness. Maybe Susan has a couple of AA batteries she would let me buy.

I can at least take pictures of my kids having lunch.

Current Mood: feet are FREEZING
Current Location: classroom
Current Music: random hallway noises.

It appears that my car will not be costing me another arm and leg. It needs a new battery. It will end up costing me about $200 by the time all is said and done. I had to have a diagnostic run on it for them to find out what the problem was. Fortunately, the battery was the only thing wrong with it, as it should be, since I just went through all this shit in November.

My car is spending the night at the Saturn dealership in Rochester, which is where I took it to be repaired. They did a nice job on Susan's vehicle--and they work on all varieties of cars, not just Saturns.

Susan and I borrowed the school van to get home. The roads in Rochester were kinda slick. They were better past Kasson.

I'm tired and I do not feel like doing anything tonight. My back hurts. My knee isn't aching quite as bad as it was earlier, which is a good thing, I guess.

Right now I am under the covers in my bed, hoping my feet get warm. I may take a little snooze. Maybe I will have a shred or two of ambition when I wake up. Or maybe I will sleep straight through till morning. That wouldn't surprise me, actually.

I think I left my digital camera in my car. That sucks. I hope no one steals it. If it disappears, I will go and buy myself a new one. I can't live without it now. I will also buy myself a BETTER one, if I buy one.

Current Mood: freezing
Current Location: bed
Current Music: no noise at all.

Have you ever needed a root canal? You know how the tooth affected aches and aches and aches??

Well, that is what my fucking KNEE is doing right now. i need better pain meds. Or an amputation. this is fucking ridiculous.

And of course, because I am in such pain and want to physically rip my leg from my body, the kids are helpfully being loud and lazy and obnoxious. I am maintaining my good nature with them, but it is in fact all a sham as I just want to kill everyone and then myself, because why should the world go on without me in it? LOL. Not really.

And in other happy news---my car didn't want to start very bad this morning. it did that rr--rr--rrrrrr thing instead of turning over right away. Butl it did start and i let it warm up for about 10-15 minutes. When i got to school, I turned over my spare set of keys to Susan as she had a doctor's appointment at the clinic. i had to turn off the car to get my school keys out of the ignition. When Susan tried to start the car, it wouldn't start. It just made a click-click-click noise. So, it is sitting next to the sidewalk at school--I had to wait until the kids' break time to call about it. I called the Saturn dealership as that's where Susan takes her car to be fixed. I had spoken to them before, and they had said they would work on any kind of car.

So, now i have to wait for about a half an hour, and Lucas M will give me a jump start (if it will jump start). Then either he or someone else will follow me to the car dealership and give me a ride back to school.

Mom says there is a massive snow storm headed our way today. The weather watch site says 1-2". What's up with that? i would not mind going home early today. Oh, God, I would LOVE to go home early. But a measley 1-2" ain't gonna do a thing to get me home early.

And without a car, I'm basically fucked anyhow.

Well, Susan said we could take the school van. Or, I bet Ray or Jesse would run us home. They both live in one of the next towns over from West Concord. I really wanted to stop at the theater in Kasson on my way home to buy a gift certificate to the movie theater there for a Christmas gift. And i would also like to stop at the dollar store to get another Christmas stocking for my one of my homeroom kids. I should have just bought an extra one to begin with, but I wasn't sure Rachael was coming back before Christmas vacation. I have missed her. She is really a sweet kid.

If all goes well tomorrow, my homeroom will being going out for lunch at Hu Hot, which is a stir-fry grill. It is very very delicious, and you can go back for as many refills as you want. It will be really good for the kids--especially the boys who are basically just bottomless pits when it comes to food.

I hope my car is fixed quickly. i hate being carless.

GRRRR. I just spent over $700 on that damned car. Maybe it is time for a new one.
