What a day its been. The baby has screamed all day long. And when I say screamed, I mean, blood-curdling, lung-bursting, window-breaking screaming tantrums over absolutely nothing. Also, when I say all day, I mean literally allllllllllllllll day. Get her up - she screams. Put her in the high chair - she screams. Get her out of the chair - she screams. Change her - she screams. Naptime - she screams. You get the point. I really have never seen a baby with such a temper like this - revert back to my old posts when I first started this job and you'll see the pattern - the 3 month old with the horrible temper has just grown into the 1-year old with the horrible temper.
Sheesh.
So minus all of that, we went to speech therapy this afternoon and upon leaving, found my battery to be completely dead. I asked one lady for help - she said she thought her bolts were rusty and promptly left. I asked another lady - it took her 20 minutes to figure out how to get her car close enough (all she had to do was pull in front of me, I was backed in) - turns out she only had one bolt (???) and we couldn't get it to work. So I sat there for almost a half hour with my hood up, talking to various ppl to see if anyone could come help me, and another lady offered to help me. She had a minivan and two bolts (like normal lol) and we got it going. I was so grateful I cried (long day + hormonal BC = teary Gina). It was so nice of her to help when she was on her way out - she'll never know how appreciative I was. So we got back to the house around 3:45 and both kids were out in five minutes. Ahhhh, blessed silence.
I've been faithfully filling out job apps from several different websites and have heard back from a couple of places and a couple of other ppl - trying to work out the details is another story. All I want is to get out of here into something with less hours. I do not mind working FT, but FT is 40 hours. This job is 55+ and I just can't do it anymore - I have no personal time for my own family and household. But we wont get back into that. Just keep praying that something comes along. This economy sucks and I have a feeling we're all stuck where we are for awhile.

For what it's worth, you can hook your jumper cables up to the positive on the other car's battery, and hook the black to a metal grounded part of the car (anywhere on the chassis that is metal). It just needs to ground to create the circuit--some cars don't have the post on the battery because a cable just connects to the chassis.
we did that and it still didn't work. thanks though =)
