Should have stayed in bed

For shits sake I should have stayed in bed. This am I took our dog Killer and our cat to an animal vaccine fair. Things were going swimmingly. Superdaddy went to look at a "beast" of a car he saw on Craig List. It was not as good as the seller made it out to be so Superdaddy talked him down. Great. Saved us $200. The damn thing died in the way home. My cousin was with him when he got it, so said cousin pushed it with his father's beast of a car and his beast over heated. Of course. The car Superdaddy and cousin were fixing for my mom still does not work. They replaced the head gasket, the valve cover gasket, and plugs, wires, distributor. Damn thing turns over just won't start. So after a long cold day outside, causin went home (about 30 miles away or so) and we sat down to eat dinner. Believe it or not, the tire fell off while he was driving his father's truck home. Good thing his parents knew he was coming over to help with the Omni but bad thing it happened to him while he was driving and his parents were out of town. To make matters worse, his folks are the ones that hold grudges and lay blame wherever possible. So, after successfully purchasing another vehicle for my mother, Superdaddy and I to share, the Omni still does not work, the minivan still has a blown engine, and we only have 1 car after all and we are down $700 or so.

The best thing that happened today was we got the vaccines for free.
