What mother in her right mind would want to scramble over boulders carrying a baby and trying to make sure the boys don't go down? I refused to get out of the car and ten minutes later M agreed to go somewhere else. As we took off the pickup started making these horrible noises. Yep, we broke down. In the middle of nowhere. I am pretty sure the road to that hill isn't really a road, but some sort of maintanance path. The horrible metal breaking noise continued every time M hit the brakes. You don't want to know how we got home. It was pretty much praying the whole way back. And today I am without a car because M needed to get to work. Some days you really shouldn't even bother getting out of bed.
My hubby loves to hike, and has taken the children when they were tiny on trails where I couldn't follow. Treacherous! Leaving me praying for their safety until they came back. He just laughs at me =-P. But NOW I think I can go with, and the children are older which will make mama so much more relaxed. I'm so sorry about the pickup! I'm glad that you got home safely and pray that things start smoothing out a little bit. Dave and I have gone through the 'being married for 8 years and needing to replace everything' phase recently. Why don't all our appliances and vehicles last forever?
