Aaaaand then the car

Well our plans to get a pet have been pushed back a bit as on Tuesday morning as Seth had one of his rare days driving to a work thing in the morning and the car broke. The water pump or something or other went poof and the car died. It was very frustrating. And expensive. We're being set back a good $1000 by this little incident and all I can say is that I'm glad it didn't happen yesterday when I was driving to work. Seth's so much better about handling these things and knowing what to do to get them fixed than I am. So small blessings, right? So getting Kat is going to have to wait a bit until after we look at the finances again. Or at least until after the car shop bills and Seth's travel bills from work get paid off and reimbursed respectively and our credit card isn't at some obscene balance again. *sighs* I was really looking forward to getting Kat this week too...
