Bad freaking day!!
First I should have known it would be bad when on my way to work (I work babysitting a friends 4 kids they are between the ages of 9 and 4 and 2 are autistic but high functioning so I know the quarks they have so I can deal with a meltdown) and there is a train stopped on the tracks blocking 2 ways to her apt. I make a u-turn and get on the freeway which pretty much always has traffic unless it is like midnight so naturally going the 1 mile down the road took a lot longer than it should have. I get to her place (late) and find out that the kids were "kicked" out of the morning tutural session becasue "they don't need it". Yes they do I am not a morning person and trust me it is not the love of them (or kids in general) that makes me their babysitter I hate kids I am doing this to help out my friend she is like family, and I am not a morning person I am happy to get rid of them as soon as I can. Anyway instead of getting rid of all of them by 7 I have to keep the 3 oldest till 7:30. fine I can deal. I get them to school and as they are getting out I tell them I need them to close the passenger door. Well of course they don't want to but when they do they don't always clsoe the door hard enough so the door latches (kinda) it rattles, the car beeps because the door is "ajar", and the dome light wont go off. (Freaking kids!) So I get out and walk around my car to close the door and when I go to open the driver's side door it didn't want to open (odd) but I pulled a little harder and it opens. I get in close the door buckel up ad notice I didn't close my door hard enough and it isn't tight (it happens) so I openand close my door and again not tight. Whatever I will deal with it when I get back to the apt not while there is a line of cars wanting to drop their kids off. I start to drive off and my door (the driver one) flys open. I pull into a parking lot holding my door closed and try and get my door closed. Nope nothing will work I have no idea why. I once had issue with the latch in the door being down and bouncing off the ring that it closes around but this was different. I eventually say whatever I drive to my friends apt holding the door closed (at least it is close) and park take anything I would want from the car (CD's car cell charger) and close the door as much as I can. I was kinda hoping that someone would steal my car that car is nothing but trouble lately. I still have my car so either a) that area is good because no one stole it b) good because I can't afford a new car or I wouldn't have the one I have c) my crappy freaking luck that no one wants my pice od shit car or d) bad because not only can i not afford to buy a new car I can't afford to fix my car I am sure. I called my dad he came over and saw what was wrong with the door and why it wont close. apparently the little ring thing hit just below where the latch thing in the door is and the metal ripped back pushing the latch into the door we can pull it back where it belongs but as soon as you close the door it is pushed back again. My dad left me his truck and he drove my car to a shop with the window down and holding the door closed by putting his arm on the outside of the door. The place he took it too (not a body shop which is where I would have gone) is not sure if they can fix it and the person that might be alble to wont be in till tomorrow. To make things better I didn't go and get a doughnut like I had planed after droping off the kids and I didn't stop at CVS to get something for my lunch and coke (she lets me eat anything she has at her place but she is feeding herself and 4 kids on like $20 a week I don't want to add to it. The bright sides of my day is from 11-4:30 (when she got hom) it was only the youngest there and he is easy he gets home feed him a sandwich and he will run off to his room and play and he hardly ever comes to me with anything. so in that respect it was really easy. and because of my car being at the shop and needing a car big enough to carry 4 kids (I will have to drop them off and school and pick them up tomorrow) I get to drive my dad's new 2010 Ford Fusion hybrid.
