So, I was thinking about writing my blog entry to say what an exhausting week it's been. I just couldn't seem to catch up on enough rest....then tonight was just the icing on the cake. My car broke down (no worries, I was in a safe place). BUT it could have been a nightmare because I did my normal hour commute home on an apparently broken tire arm which kind of means I had no steering ability in my right front tire. I pulled out of the office around 5 to get to my 6:30 hair cut appt. and heard a kind of crack when I made hard right turn. Not good. So then I had to make another right hand, heard the crack again and had a hell of a time straightening my car out. By that point, I was almost on the parkway and really had no where to pull over so I held my breath and decided to go for it and see if I could make it home. I honestly had to have had an angel watching over me today. I made it thru the hour drive by holding onto the steering wheel pretty tight for an hr and going pretty slow. So I pulled into Shear Magic and that's where the tire arm apparently just broke. So my card was stuck in the middle of the parking lot at the hair salon but luckily I wasn't blocking any other customers in. I was the talk of the salon. Dave met me there about 15 min. later and we called a tow truck to take the Sebring away :( Quite a sad moment to see your car on that flatbed, but hopefully it will be ok. The tow truck guy really wanted to know how I got from Pittsburgh to Greensburg - I told him I had my angel w/ me :) And not to leave anything out, I slipped going down the stairs this morning because my freakin' shoes are like slippers on the bottom! I managed to stay upright and catch myself on the underside of my right arm...I've got a nice bruise there. So all of that being said, I'm ready for this week to be over. The baby has been keeping me awake at night - he/she is an active little bugger :) But that is also a comforting sign that all is going well so that's the good news for this week.
Lastly, I just saw a commercial for the new 2008 Dodge Avenger http://www.dodge.com/en/avenger/index.html
(for those of you that don't know, the Avenger was my first car and I loved it!) so maybe I'll look into getting a pretty metallic red new car and be a really cool new mom :) This is my way of making myself feel better right now - lol!

Quite a confession there, Becky! Two Hail Marys, one Father, and you should be back on track. And by all means, take it easy, woman! :) :)
I hear that - I am definitely relaxing this weekend...and signing up for AAA!
How about taking things safe when your prego? You know, like getting off at the first exit, calling your husband and getting the car towed from there? SAFETY first... shit and you are supposed to be mature one of WHS. Please be careful and don't wear those shoes anymore.
Glad you're safe, cars can be replaced.
