I'll be completely honest here: I think God exists. I do. SOMEONE had to make this place.

But I for one don't like Him. He's kind of a dick. At the very least he makes life "interesting."

For instance, today we were supposed to drive to Macon. We would get breakfast on the way to an exit far past Macon and go to a park, a nature preserve-ish type of place where we would walk and everything would be fine. Kim would get good pictures, the kids would get air.

Except Kim woke up and while getting ready, her back started to hurt and get progressively worse. She swallowed some Aleve and we made our way to the car, her leaning on me quite a bit, both of us thinking if she still hurts by the time we get to 75, we'll turn back, but we didn't make it that far. No, we got breakfast and had to go back. Then I took the kids to Target to get icy hot back pads for Kimmy (and to give her some quiet relaxing time) and when I got back in the car to go home, the brake light came on. The constant DING DING DING DING DING DING came with it. I was annoyed, but no big deal. The brakes did feel squishy. I'll just pull off to a gas station and get some brake fluid.

Bought some break fluid and Adam was crying (howling) when I opened up the car door to pull the hood lever and guess what didn't release?

The hood.

I pushed it down and it seemed to connect, but when I pulled the lever, nothing happened. I couldn't get the damn hood to open up.

So I drove home with the constant DING DING DING DING DING DING DING DING DING DING DING in my ears and when I got home and was feeding Adam his bottle as Annie tried to kiss Mommy better, Kim reminded me that a few months ago, something happened with the car and they said that eventually this one thing is going to need to be fixed and I said it's too expensive so we'll wait. Kim thinks it's that and I'm inclined to agree, but why today of all days?

And it's not like we have the extra money to fix the car right now either so it looks like we're going to be a one car family.

Maybe He is just using this little series of... events... to draw us together as a family.

But right now I just think it's messed up.
