It’s been a looong miserable week. We’ve all been sick with a horrible bug that just won’t go away (I’ll spare you all the gory details)! Tony missed work all last week, and the kids missed almost a whole week of school. The kids were both well enough to go to school on Friday, but that day brought a different kind of misery.
Friday
morning driving down the mountain to pick Jack up from preschool, I noticed my
rig was making strange noises when I tried to turn right. Then it started pulling really hard to the
left and didn’t want to turn right. I
made it to school but when I parked there was a horrible smell and smoke. It turns out that I broke the front driver
side strut. That is one of the main components
of the front suspension – without it the weight of the vehicle would collapse
down onto the tire. Tony was amazed that
there wasn’t more damage. So Jack and I
spent the day running errands with my dad, while Tony spent the day running
around trying to find parts and get my rig up and running again.
I’m
glad that week is over!
