Oh boy I feel for you...So sorry to hear about this! Oh boy I feel for you but your husband sounds like a keeper..what a sweet guy! I had something like that happen many years ago, we bought our first really expensive piece of furniture, a gorgeous mahogany dining table and my son then 2 threw a huge super heavy metal fire truck on it from the second floor( it actually fell) and needless to say it bounced all over the table leaving it a huge huge mess. I was hysterical not sure how to break it to my husband but when i finally did amidst the sobs, he had a simliar reaction, making me feel better and telling me that we would fix it.....the bright side is you have a family that loves you, and is there for you and that you can afford a new engine, hey...that you can have a car, in many areas of the world an untold luxury! You can repalce the engine but not your family, love or unconditional support......that my friend, is priceless!<br /><br />The enchanted homehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03417949320717832732noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1571489863574302166.post-63383292436426504532012-09-25T16:11:00.336-04:002012-09-25T16:11:00.336-04:00Thank you for your honesty.

Shiny happy pretties will be here another day; your telling the truth when times are otherwise only makes it more so.<br /><br />My inner Type A so feels you on this one . . . I'll pass along what someone recently told me about some frustrations I was having - "If it's a problem you can throw money at, then there are worse problems to have."<br /><br />Do you hate me yet? I hope that's helpful to you, as it was to me, crappy as it feels when you're dealing with the financial / I-cant-believe-I-did-this feeling problem at the time. <br /><br />Here's to happier times and fixed engines ahead. xoMelissa @ I Pick Prettyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12300398605721219551noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1571489863574302166.post-83238645622865674432012-09-25T15:32:10.312-04:002012-09-25T15:32:10.312-04:00Everyone has little hickups from time to time.

I am a firm believer in the law of attraction (positive thoughts attract positive people and situations, negative thoughts the opposite). Keep the positive things in mind and all things will turn out for the better.

I also have found that when something bad happens, something wonderful is on the way.

It's really special.<br /><br />M is right - it's just money and you're lucky that it's not more and that you are in a position to have this expense cause you some pain and pause but not devastate your finances.<br /><br />Plus, thank goodness nothing terrible happened while you were actually driving the car! Particularly since this is related to the engine, my goodness, that could have been a major emergency :(<br /><br />Lastly, tuna casserole feels and tastes more substantial than ramen but is still super cheap to make :) Hang in there! xoMHM1314https://www.blogger.com/profile/06567516263819917728noreply@blogger.com
