I went home today to chill with the fam because Nik was working a double. I got here around 1ish, dad was sleeping due to working and ambulase runs all night, mom was at work and everyone else was at school. I layed down with Zeus for a little bit, I didn’t sleep well last night. I woke up to hear the chatter of Tim, Shelby and Cassie walking in the front door. By now the Lake Michigan snow machines have kicked in and it was snowing horizonal outisde. I wanted to take pics of Tim with some snow and such, but it was really cloudy and they would have turned out crappy. I brought my ps2 down along with my 3 controllers and hockey. Tim and I started out playing and then Cassie tried to play. We wheren’t playing games, just a free for all. Cassie soon got sick of it and left and dad walked in. So you young guns need some elderly ass kicking? So yea, it was funny. He has no idea what hes doing or what buttons due what, hes just pushing everything. So after about 5 minutes trying to keep up with us, he decided to stand right in front of the net and get the rebounds. Doing this, he was having fun, he ended up scoring a couple times. Tim and I would chase eachother around and he’d just chill. Then after this excitement, dad and I went out to the garage and attempted to fix break number two. We got the tire off and ended up breaking the devise that disconnects the caliper from the router. So I had to hold our torch on it while dad ran to the store and perchased a new one. When he got back, we got the bolts off and the new breaks on. After that we headed back in, Tim and I played more hockey and they had tacos for dinner, but I’m waiting for Nik to call so I can go make us dinner : ) I got a couple things out of the freezer from here. So now, dads watching greys anatomy, mom and Abbie are at Meijer grocery shopping, and Tim, Pogo, Cassie and Shelby are on thier way back from Pogo’s house. Its been a good evening, and Im excited to see my sweeety and make her night better once she gets home : )

AGH! Bad day

Yesterday was such a bad day. I spent way more time doing stupid stuff because of stupid people. First I headed to my house around noon, to have dad put on a new set of breaks on my driver side front. It started grinding about 2 wks ago, but I haven’t had time to go home and get it fixed. I am absolutely car stupid. I missed that gene in my family. So dad was tried to get it a part and the bolt was on way too tight, and he ended up rounding off the bit to get the caliper off. So dad called around to see how much it would cost for a company to put them on. The cheapest we got was around $92 and it was in Grandville. So I drove my break grinding car up to Grandville, and dad and Tony drove Tony’s because Tony wanted to get a laptop. So we dropped my car off, and went to Best Buy. While we where there, the guy from the breaks place called dad to tell him he wasn’t going to put them on because he thought we needed new routers. So I drove back to Wayland, and got Mr. G’s torch and dad heated the thing up and we finally got it off. So we get it off and go to put the breaks on it that where in the back of my car and they where the wrong ones. The wrong ones, I was so pissed. This was around 7pm. So I drove dad’s truck down to Plainwell, and picked up new brake pads and headed back to the house. Once I got there, dad popped them on and in a matter of a half an hour, I was done. Finally, 8 1/2 hrs later. I then headed back to home, to be warm and with my girl. Thank you dad for all of your help, I really do appreciate it!
