I hate cars!

Well Pete's subaru which has like a million miles on it just had the clutch go. Of course it happened on the Wednesday before Thanksgiving. It is at the shop still and it is now Monday. We are still waiting to find out how much this baby is gonna run us. People have told us that the clutch can cost from $500-1,000. I am praying this isn't so. Not to mention we had to rent a car for the weekend because Pete had to work and Rachel had to get to and from a hockey tournament all weekend so we couldn't have just one car. We did, however get the greatest rate I think possible. $9.99 a day for a little toyota corolla. Every other place wanted $20 something a day but Enterprise in Latham had this great rate. :)Too bad we have to return the car tonight and still have no car for Pete to drive. Good thing he is off tomorrow. Rory (my step son) is coming up and we are having our Thanksgiving family dinner. Can't wait. My hubby can cook!!!

HAPPY THANKSGIVING

Happy Thanksgiving to all! We are actually celebrating on Tuesday...I know totally unAmerican. We have good reason though. Rachel has a tournament starting tomorrow so I couldn't drive down to the city and the kids were at their dad's today and I didn't see cooking dinner for just me, Pete and the little ones. Tuesday night, Pete's son is driving up and we will all celebrate then. Today we went to Cracker Barrel because it was one of the few places that were open on Thanksgiving. I thought we would be the only losers, I mean people not eating with family but the place was mobbed. You got a turkey dinner, drink and dessert for only $8.99. Couldn't beat it.
