I have a flat tire. I hate frigging cars. I hate the fuckers. Tires and brakes and leaking seals, oh my.
So I walked outside five minutes ago, got in my little dilapidated piece of shit that I'd just cleaned out this morning (why do my kids keep taking their socks off in the car?!) and proceeded to pull out of the driveway. Except the road has changed. It's no longer flat, but bumpy. When did my road become bumpy? It wasn't bumpy this morning when I took the heathens to school. So what changed?
I pulled over, took a gander at the right front tire and there is no air in it. Who stole my air? Someone stole the damned air out of my tire. What is the world coming to when you can't even have air? Rarrrrgghhh.
I just had this tire plugged a couple of months ago. It was a brand new tire and within two days I ran over some kind of stupid nail that flattened it to the ground. The boys' father came over and plugged it for me. I'm a bitch on a budget and I can't just be off buying new tires all the time when that was a new tire.
Well, I suppose I'm getting a new damned tire today. I don't know what I ran over because I don't have time to jack the bitch up before I go to work and stare at it. I have to go to work, so all this is going to have to be handled later. I'm paid by the hour so someone basically has to be dying for me to decide not to go to work.
The boys' grandmother is going to take me to work this morning since I currently don't have a spare. My mommy and stepdad are going to stop by, pick up the rim for me and get another tire while I'm at work. (This is what I'm talking about when I talk about my support network. You need people.) I'll change it out when I get back home.
Man. Tuesday is just a bad day for this kind of stuff. Why can't it happen on Saturday or something? Stupid cars and their stupid issues. I'm buying a horse. With a sidecar.

I have so much sympathy for you. My luck with cars and tires suck too LOL I have had to buy 2 tires in the last 6 months because I keep popping mine. Now with the roof thing going on I am waiting for a roofing nail or staple to make it into my tire to make it three.
Get yourself a donut. You can probably snag one at a junkyard for cheap and at least then you don't have to worry about making it to work. When I look at cars, I look for one LOL
What with your roof situation, I feel a lot more sympathetic for you than I do with my wonky tire.
I love junkyards and I need to make a trip over there. I keep sort of forgetting. *paranoia*
I really feel so proud of myself lately because I've been entering all the important dates for the kids on my phone calendar, but then I can't remember simple shit like "Buy spare tire." "Take herbie curby to the road on Thursday." "Eggs should not boil for an hour." I still need a wife.
