Gabe is the worst sleeping baby ever. Well, he's up there with Caleb, anyway. He will take about two naps of less than an hour, I will get him to sleep around eight and then between 30-60 minutes later he is up again. He wakes all night long. He is a very light sleeper, like his mom. Well, eventually they sleep through the night. Well, Caleb doesn't. He always had sleep problems.
Anyway, the back pain left earlier this week, thankfully. Even at night, it appears to have healed. The gross bruise tan-colored and nearly gone.
We have a rental, and are looking for a new auto. We were leaning towards an old Explorer, but they don't seem very reliable. So, it's going to be a minivan or a car. I may try for another Taurus, somewhere between a 2003 or newer. Karl wants it to have less than 120K. The van was about 115K when we bought it and then 140K now. Since I stopped working at Pleasant Hope, we haven't put too many miles on it. We had it three years. The nice thing is, we paid about 4200 for it, probably less than 1000 in repairs, and we are getting 3800 from the insurance company. Not too bad. Although, I personally don't care for accidents.
Driving the rental, a nicely stocked Ford Explorer with only 20K (and seats 7) is lovely, but I don't want a car payment. Of course, I couldn't get the explorer anyway. Payments would be at least 500 a month, and while I appreciate that other people need to buy new cars in order for me to buy used, that would be rather ridiculous in my case. And I don't use my car for business where I need to present an aura of success. I guess then I wouldn't want a Ford, anyway:o).
No calls on my job applications. I could try elsewhere, but if we move, what would Karl do? He can transfer to Orlando, wonder if they need teachers? I don't want to live in Florida, though.
Anyway, I guess I will go read and try to get Gabe to sleep. Or the other way around.
