The Car Killers strike again!

Oh, yes. So, Donnie gets the Geo working this morning by replacing the battery. No problem! He went all out and bought a great quality one, even, against all tight-waddishness I have in me.
I head to the school to get Trinity and he heads off to work in his good, working car. The school is roughly 4 blocks down our street.
Trinity LOVED play school again, she didn't even want to leave, so I was glad I was going to go pick up grandma and go shopping so she had something to look forward to.
Then, it happened. The Geo wouldn't start. I was stuck at the school. I could walk home, but I didn't bring my coat for such a short trip in and out of the car. UGHH!

I called Donnie, who was almost 2 towns away, about 18 miles. He decided to take the day off of work and fix the cars, so he told me to stay put. While sitting there I read through the Geo owners manual. Well, what else would I do? Clean out my purse? Not!
So I started thinking about how the car was turning over no problem but was making an airy puffing noise. I wondered if it was the air filter.
It was! So Donnie replaced that and it is good to go! He decided to go ahead and get the tire replaced and is also replacing the muffler and the windshield wipers while he is at it.
Wooohooo! We're back to two cars for the 11 of us!

I took Sam to the chiropractor. That was great, I am so glad that I did. She works wonders on Devon, and I wouldn't have any need to try anyone else. She figured out Sam wasn't "eliminating" correctly, he's a bit backed up, just by touching him! She did a bunch of adjusting, which Sam ate up! We sat in the waiting room for the whole thing. She just followed Sam around and did this and that on his time and he had a blast, he really enjoyed some of it and would stand there like "Oh, yeah, that's the spot!" It was funny! He didn't care for the neck adjustment, but basically he just whimpered a bit, then went on to play.
I'm taking him back on Friday and she thinks we'll see big improvement in his sleeping after that.
His ears are not that bad to explain the night issues and no day issues at all. If she gets him to sleep at night, we'll be going back when ever she wants him. And Donnie said he'd even be sold on chiropractic and start going.
