Car trouble, babies, and more...

Ok, so let me set the scene for the car trouble. A couple of weeks ago, my tire warning light (yes, I have a light to warn me if there is something wrong with my tires - it is wonderful) came on. We already knew that I needed tires on the front (my car was out of alignment and it ruined my front tires). So we had them replaced last Monday, especially after we found out there was a screw in one of them. David filled my back tires, and all was well...until Wednesday, when my tire warning light came back on. We were very confused. He checked the tires again, everything was fine. He took them to be checked (I mean, if we didn't know there was a screw in the other one for who knows how long, then something might have been wrong with the back ones, and heaven knows how protective David is, especially now - not that I'm complaining). The tire place said they were fine. So he took it to the Toyota dealership, thinking something may be wrong with the computer that was setting off the light - this happened with the other Camry with the airbag light. The Toyota place quickly figured out what was wrong - the SPARE TIRE was low. How do they even have a sensor in the spare tire??? So for anyone who owns a Toyota, if you have the tire light, just be warned that it may be your spare if the light won't go off and everything else is ok.

Now on to babies. Ok, so babies always seem to come in 3s right? At the present moment, I know 7, yes 7, pregnant people all due within about a month of me. Goodness! There are probably more than 7, I'm probably forgetting someone...as for me, I'm doing fine. Since they moved my room, I haven't had a table, so I've been seeing my kids in the floor, which I quickly learned is NOT comfortable at all! I do have a table as of today, but no chairs (yes, I am the red-headed step-child).

And more - we are house-sitting for my parents through Saturday. My dad was home this week & my mom wanted to go to a convention in Nashville. With all the hotel points my dad gets, they are getting a free hotel at Embassy Suites! Speaking of free hotel - I don't think I posted this yet, but we are going to Cirque du Soleil again in Atlanta on Jan. 3rd!! My dad is going to get us a free room at the Hilton for the 3 days we're there (he has lots of points, we could basically stay wherever we want to, but my mom stayed there a few months ago & said it was really nice - and it's about 2 miles from the arena). It's kind of a combo trip - vacation, birthdays, etc. I wanted to go see Wicked for my birthday, but considering we will have a one month old, I don't think I want to do that afterall. I will go see it someday - it's only been 2 years since I've been wanting to see it. Like I said, I'm doing really well. I go back to the doctor on Tuesday, then not again for a month. It's been an adjustment from going every week because of those cysts! Well, I'm not going to bore you any more. I know this got ridiculously long...maybe someone will make it through it! =)

Mother of Multiples is on this friday, Aug, 22 so I got you a ticket if you want to come! And, a one month old....you still might be able to go. Put a blanket over the carseat and take him/her inside. The baby will sleep right through it and if he/she doesn't then you can nurse/bottle feed the baby when they are hungry. It will be simple! Plus, you'll hardly get any time out of the house to do things like that by about 5months when the baby will not be sleeping any more...especially if you are nursing! I KNOW this from EXPERIANCE!
