coupon savings having to give up the mini van

Why is it things just never seem to go right?  Have been using coupons and back to school sales the last few weeks gotten some really good deals. Never have to much paper or pencils and pens... Was gonna take a picture of all the goodies and put on here but not real sure how thats done yet. oh well.

Then yesterday had to give up the mini van because the work truck went out well at least the transmission did. And just tired of putting transmission into vehicles, the only person getting anything out of it is the salvage yard man when we have to get a different one every few months. So gave up the mini van for its new purpose a work van and am driving old faithful the car I got 6 years ago used from my aunt. my dad was sick with cancer and my aunt wanted me to be able to get back and forth to see him whenever I wanted or he wanted. This car was such a blessing then and now. Was only suppose to drive it for a little while but with no payments who cares its 20 years old and needs a paint job. And usually looks like a rolling trash can. She always starts only leaks a little oil and does really well on gas considering her age.
But after driving the mini van which was used but new to us for the last couple months its weird getting into the car sits lower, less space etc. 
A little upset having to give it up since now it will be a work van and not worth much after it gets driven all over the place.

Never did make it to the cemetaries where my parents and everyone are buried while I had a vehicle I could trust to get me there and back. oh well and when you have to make a vehicle last you just don't make extra trips.
Wonder if life will always be this hard and why does it have to be?

maybe next post it will be better news...

so glad to have air again.

Yesterday was a awful day. Woke up and it was burning up in the house, even one of the dogs got sick was so hot. Thought it was fixed and had to call and have the heat and air man come back out. Now its fixed finally cool and with temps outside being well over 100 can't go long without some kind of cool in the house.
Bought a router yesterday for the computer and jeeze it won't work with the computer. Big surprise. So today get to return it to the store and find something else.
Went to target yesterday and the big toy sale from last week must have been a success since the one by me had almost no toys. Thinking everyone found some good deals and a head start on christmas.

Did get in the pool yesterday afternoon while waiting the air conditioning to be fixed, thank goodness for the pool.
well guess I am done for now.
