Another Jump??



About a week ago, BJ's car wouldn't start. We figured it was because he hadn't driven it since school got out for Winter break.  So we jump started it with my car and all was good. A couple of days later we had to jump start it again. No problem...maybe ought to get a new battery?? We'll see. 

Saturday morning we went out to go to the grocery store and loaded into my car. It didn't start....WHAT is going ON?? Samantha probably turned the dome light on...no big deal, jump start it... is good. It started up at the grocery store so we could get home. Whew! All is good.

Sunday morning, 20 minutes before church starts, we load up the car, everyone's buckled in...my car won't start...AGAIN??!?!? BJ runs over to his car to bring it over to jump start mine....HIS won't start! What is the luck?! We find a neighbor that is awake and they come out to give us a jump. We still got to church on time!! Yeah! BJ sat out in the car to let it run for a while hoping it would help with our chances of getting it to start after church. Any luck??? NO! 

Another jump.

I had a meeting (to practice a song I'm singing in sacrament meeting next week...something I really don't want to talk about!) after the meeting...my car started up fine! Yea! Battery charged, all is good!

This morning Christopher had surgery. We needed to be at the hospital at 7:30 am. BJ goes out to get the car started.  Won't start! (Are you SEriOuS?!) 

Another jump. (Luckily I was able to find our wonderful neighbors awake and they were able to help!)

Surgery is over, all went well, and Christopher is grumpy! (Anesthesia will do that to ya!) He just wants to go home and have a drink. He's upset. We carry him out to the car....What a surprise...we need a jump.

Another man waiting for his son to have surgery helps us out in exchange for our parking spot! Deal. Done.

OK this has gone on long enough! Finally we have a chance to get it taken care of... 

I am home with Christopher and Samantha, BJ is at the dealership getting it checked out. Hopefully it is just a battery...on second thought, hopefully not (my car is still under warranty!! I'd have to pay for a battery!)

We'll find out soon! Then later this afternoon, BJ's car get's it's turn to be checked. Hopefully that one IS just a battery! No warranty for it!

Anything else????
