Car Trouble!!

This week I have had so many car problems I'm now to the point of wondering "What's next???" Let me share... So for the past few weeks my car has been making a squeaking noise that eventually goes away after I drive the car. It's usually done squeaking before I get to Richfield Jesse hasn't been able to look at it with his back right now so I've basically just been winging it! No biggie. So this Thursday afternoon was my work Christmas party at my boss' house. I got there fine. No sign of problems. I was there for about 2 hours then when I went to leave my car wouldn't start. Oh great!! (Don't know if the squeeking is related to this or if it's just coincidence!!)So I call Jesse to see what to do. From what I explained...(It was trying to start but wouldn't turn over) he said it sounded like a dead battery - then he so thoughtfully mentioned that the battery for the car is located somewhere under the back seat!!! What the hell?? That's foreign cars for ya. So I break out the owner's manual to try & figure out how to jump start it!! (This shouldn't be this hard, seriously!!) So I go back into the party and read the manual & find out that the battery itself is under the back seat but you still jump it under the hood. Thankfully I didn't have to rip out my back seat looking for it!! My bosses husband so nicely helped me jump start the car & I was able to get home. Again, Jesse's back is in no shape to work on cars so today I decided to drive the Pontiac (Which hardly ever gets driven.)
First things first, I decided on my way to the Chiropractor I was hungry so stopped at Burger King on my way into town...AND....the window won't roll down! Great. I have to go in to place my order. I know worse things have happened but it's still just so inconvenient!! Next, I'm driving to Moe's mom's to go to Twilight - YES we caved & decided to go see this movie everyone is talking about - NOW I KNOW WHY!!! I heart Edward! Lol - Back on topic - When I get pulled over on the infamous 4th west!! Fabulous! Just what I need - a ticket! The cop comes up to the window & again...the window doesn't work! I have to open the door to see a kid that I went to high school with. (When did we get old & get real jobs???) He informs me that I was going 37 in the 25 & asks for my license & registration. I then remember I brought Jesse's wallet instead of my own so - no license. To top it off I couldn't find my registration either...which is 8 YES 8 months overdue on being registered as I was so kindly told by Officer Christensen!!! (Guess the renewal got sent to our old address or something??? I had no clue!!)
Even after all this, I got off with just a warning!! Thankfully!! I guess living in a small town & knowing a couple of people isn't so bad ALL of the time!! So long story short, I've got 2 bum cars at the moment with a hubby who is out of commission. SUPER!! Just what I need! Lol.

Kambree turned 8 months on 12/8/08. We didn't do alot because Mommy & Daddy both had the stomach flu that Kambree passed on. We have been a bunch of SICKO's this week!!! Sad times :(
