Shopping spree....here I come!!!!!!!!

Purchase non-running Bronco: $400 (remember this conversation)

Many, many, many trips to Auto Zone for parts: we'll say....at least $300 (and I think I'm being nice)

Tow bar to get Bronco into a mechanic: $100

Mechanic's bill to "maybe" get said Bronco to run: $500 (for now....)

I'm hoping there is a "priceless" end to all of this but my Magic 8 ball keeps telling me "outlook not so good."

Are heads going to roll?
Magic 8 ball: "It is certain"

Imagine

I always knew I wanted two children so they would have and know the special relationship that only siblings can share. And once we had Sheridan, I felt like I wouldn't be fulfilling my motherly duties if I didn't give her a younger sibling that would do things they shouldn't and then she would get blamed for them since she was the oldest and there was NO WAY the younger one could have EVER done something bad. Oh wait. Sorry. That was a flashback from MY childhood.

Anyway, I also secretly hoped for two girls because if they were to be as lucky as me, once they worked through the normal fighting and annoying each other stages, then they'd realize they not only have a sister but a best friend for life. One thing I didn't know I would experience while being pregnant with my second child was the worry of how could I possibly love TWO kids as much and the same as I love Sheridan. I tried to comfort myself with the fact that I love both of my dogs the same. But honestly, I was pretty sure that wasn't the same. So after worrying about this during my pregnancy, it turns out that my ass wasn't the only thing that grew over 37 weeks. Apparently my heart grew, too because I have more love for these two girls than I ever imagined possible.
