today was an odd day........

I got up to take Noah to school.....and had heard about a fire in a house that I could have sworn was across the street from his school. I figured when I took him to school I would find out. I was right......it was the house I thought it was. It was burned really bad. Five people died in the fire.......several of them children. It has stirred up emotions and Noah is worried that one of the children killed in the fire was his best friend Trevor. I don't know if it was or not. I did not even know Noah had a best friend till tonight.

Please pray for these families and the children in the school.

I then headed to the Saturn dealer to have my oil and filter changed. My bad cause I waited a little too long to get it all free as my extended warranty had expired about 2 weeks ago. Oh well.......I am thankful I got everything done that needed to be done and I am all ready for winter! New oil and filter and tires rotated.......new anti-freeze good to 40 below zero.....new wipers all around. EVERYTHING else on the truck is fine!

I did notice Saturn's new SKY roadster in the showroom. WOW......if money was not an option......I can see how that would be tempting to buy! It is a 2-seater convertible.....and it was gorgeous. I like convertibles a lot but do not feel particularly safe driving in one. Unless there is a roll bar over my head.......which this car did not obviously have. Looks good for cruising if you are the only one on the road.......going about 30 miles per hour (it can go 240 MPH). In other words.....if all was guaranteed which it is not....to be safe......it would be impractical but......a temptation.

After that I headed back to a cemetery to do a tombstone search.....then to some other errands. I hit up the local Goodwill store.........and the Dollar store and I even had to make a run to Wal*Mart which I try to avoid at all costs! I ended up at K-Mart too. Then to my grandma's house and back home again.

I have already started to put up my fall decorations and lights. It is very fall-like here already......and I was in the mood.

I am going to try to bust butt this week to see if I can work full-time hours in a part-time day. I need to generate several streams of income.......and more money....so we will see how this goes.

Signing off.......my annoying nagging cough is wearing my butt out.
