Lemons and Lemonade

The short story. Ok....no the short story is even too long.
Recent events: We paid off our 2nd vehicle on the 6th in the morning. That afternoon while my husband went to pick up our kids from school the "Transmission" light went on. Ok, given we knew that it was going south, but we were hoping that it would last a little longer. So we are once again a one car family. Mind you we drive an OLD 2 door escort with 3 kids. Surprisingly the fights in the back seat have not gotten worse, only stayed about the same. The lack of radio has inspired more talking amongst the family. The lack of a good working heater has helped convince my kids in the morning that they HAVE to wear a coat, because it is obviously cold. So on the bright side...we still have one vehicle. :) So if something else gets added to this pile of things that aren't great in my life, go ahead. I don't know what could be thrown at me that I couldn't get past...with enough time. I think I eat stress for a regular meal, and my body has become dependent on it like smokers to nicotine. Ok, I really hope not, but it does seem a little plausible. Any of you out there have a regular dose of stress for daily consumption?

dependent on stress like smokers to nicotine, eh? Maybe they have a patch for that.

I thrive on the adrenaline that comes with stress. I'm sorry things are tough but you will get through it. You'll amaze yourself how strong you really are.
