back to life.. back to reality..

So I had planned to post something each day about our adventure in Florida, but after a long day with the kids I quickly headed for bed as soon as I saw a chance and an open pillow.

We survived a crying baby( teething if I might add)
we survived a drama queen
We survived a sneaky story teller
We survived a child who said he couldn't do anything we asked him to
We survived a active hipper blond boy.
We woke up at nights for feeding time
We changed many of many diapers
We helped/ forced kids with homework
We went shopping with two young boys and one me
We fought about who should discipline the kids
and we slowly figured out what it means to be a parent.

But now we are back home. And I am sooooo happy to be in my bed in my Utah with my snow. It was a blessing to be able to go and enjoy the kids and weather, but I missed my bed, my family, my hot coco and my layla and Hatchi.
But with coming home comes reality..... reality to Juan going to school, me returning to work, a broken down car that Mazda dealership broke and wont fix, slight anxiety at work, preparing for baby with crib and stroller, and the more of many things on my to do list. So tonight I start with work. And here I sit... working... baby is up and kicking and I am ready to eat at 2:00 am.
Im not sure what we will do about our car.. anyone know of anything that we can do???
We took in our Nissan to the Mazda dealership to get the oil changed... everything was perfect with it. They inspected it so we could register it there but couldn't register due to a bad tire. So we get a new tire, then take it to get registered. Done. A few days later the tire goes down so we didnt use the car at all for two weeks... We get new tire( again) then a few days later car is making a terrible sound! Frightening really. We park it and check.... NO OIL!! how??? we just got an oil change a month ago... No leaks... No smoke of any kind. Some smart kid at Mazda forgot to refill the oil. We were able to drive it for so long because Its a Japanese engine and because for more than half that month the car had a flat so we used the truck to get around. Now Mazda is saying that we broke it and are trying to blame them for it. That the car is smoking oil.... which we never saw any smoke!!! ever!!! Just that awful noise. And for it to burn through almost 5 courts of oil in about 2 weeks because the other 3 weeks it was parked and not driven, it would have be a train to burn through all that oil. So now we fight it.... yay... the joys.
Anyway there is much to vent about but for now that  will be it.

Yours Truly,
