Lesa worked, daycare closed, I took the day off. Ashley woke me up and said she heard my phone beeping and her stomach hurt from being so hungry. Yeah, drama in the morning. Anyway, my phone had several texts from Lesa, her window was down and wouldn’t roll up and she had about $600 worth of parking permits plus she kind of needed her Jeep. So I pulled the window motor from the spare Jeep, got the kids fed and dressed, and headed to her work. Luckily campus was dead because of break. The cable broke and so I thought I’d just replace hers with the one I brought, got it installed, and the plastic retainer broke as soon as I rolled it up. Started taking it apart again and had the key on to roll window up and down and the Jeep beeped and just like that the battery was dead. Sheesh! Went to Advance Auto with kids, minus Dwyane who spent the night with his friend and was probably at Urban Air by that time, and bought some cable ends because TNW jury rigged the cable ends and it was loose and broken. Also bought a hack saw to cut the cable ends from the originals. Went to InterState battery and bought her a new battery. Stopped at Burger King to get kids and myself lunch and ran into a couple of coworkers. Stopped by AutoZone since Advance Auto didn’t have the window motor/regulator assembly. AutoZone had one so I was set. Got back to Lesa’s Jeep and installed the battery. Tackled the window motor and the motor was put in upside down but was able to get it anyway. She’s good to go so I rushed to Bedford to get Ashley to her Girl Scout meeting at 1:30p but we were a half-hour late. Picked her up again at 3:00p. Dillan went to Gabe’s, Dwyane got dropped off about 4:00p, Lesa got home about 4:30p. Kids, minus Dillan, played on the Wii. I tried to nap. Lazy evening watching TV until bedtime.
