There's a whole in our pocket...

Emotions are pretty high right now....but such is life. Here is my rant and you dont need to bore yourself by reading this...just writing my feelings away. On 10/31/13 I was rear ended on the high way and the insurance claimed Luke's truck at a total loss.  I got a rental car on 11/4/13 and found a new car on 11/6/13. We bought a car under the price we got for the truck hoping to save the money for emergencies. Then today we take the rental back and Enterprise claims we made a dent in the rear quarter panel.  Luke and I have no idea how it got there- I can't even see the dent..I guess I need a new eye prescription.  We don't know if it was there prior because we got the car in the night and you would have never been able to see it in the dark. So we got charged $500! Several arguments with management and our insurance agent and still..no luck. On top of that, even when you buy from a private owner you have to pay 9.5% tax in TN...so there goes another $300 for registration. I am mad, sad, frustrated and then Luke says, "well, we have our health. Except your teeth..."  Yes, I have a 2 broken teeth since I have had Vera and my mouth has been so sensitive ever since and no dental insurance for us :/.....  I also stopped breastfeeding today since my supply is less than Vera's demand and it temps her to co sleep in my bed! I need sleep! So hopefully this will help break her habit (that I created)

On the bright side:
We have new car.
Finley loves the dentist and has no cavities and has brushed his teeth 5 times since we got home from there.
Vera is happy. Growing. And always happy.
We get to be in Arizona in one month!
Luke is passing his classes.
I have a job.
We live in a wonderful house.
We have an amazing family.

I guess I need to continue to focus on the positives. 
Here's the new car:

So sorry Shawnie! When it rains it pours, I guess. We don't have dental insurance either....so Wes and I never go. I'm sure we have cavities.

Nice new car! I bet it's nice to have all that extra space.

The countdown is on!
