Crap.
Less than 70,000 miles, is a 2000 Caravan, and now we are gonna have to come up with close to $4K to put in a new engine. We briefly considered just getting a new vehicle, but we cannot afford the monthly payments for a car right now! I can't believe how tight money has become lately -- we'll be adding to our credit card debt to get these repairs done -- we were finally seeing an end in sight, but not anymore.
This really is the crappiest time for this to happen, and I hate to really complain, because I know we could have it so much worse. But I also know we will owe taxes because of our freelance work, and we owe property taxes in the next month or two, and I just don't know how we're gonna make it!! And it isn't like I can easily take a new job with a newborn and Parker that would make up any of the cost difference. I know we'll make it through, I know it'll end up alright in the end, but for right now, it is really depressing and stinks!! I just want one thing to be easy, you know?
