What a great Mother's Day

May 4th is a rough day for me. It was 9 years ago that my mother passed away, so the 4th is a day where I do alot of reminiscing about my mother and all she did for us. This year was a easier year. I only cried once. The last few weeks I have had some car problems, which doesnt help my mood in May. I sat down and analyzed the budget and moved things around so I could come up with a way to buy a new car, I am tired of putting money into something that had 224,000 miles on it anyway. It seemed like I would just get things caught up and another car repair would happen. Of course the repair wasnt a quick reasonable one, it was expensive. So I finally bit the bullet and found a bank that would fianace a new vechile with a reasonable interest rate. My credit isnt the worst in the world as the bank says my credit score is decent just not enough credit history. I must be the only person I know that doesnt have a credit card. I find that credit cards are too tempting for me. Well today on my youngest brother's birthday I test drove a few cars and came off the lot with a 2009 HHR LT
trying to decide if it is a Mother's Day gift for me or maybe a birthday gift for him. I have deceided it is a Mother's Day gift for me. I was thinking a little while ago, I have never had a new car before at least not one that has very little mileage on it. But it is ironic my mother didn't have a new car until she was in her 50's. She enjoyed her brand new Plymouth Horizon back in 1989 when she passed away in 2002 the car only had 25,000 miles on it. I find it funny how even though I grew up not wanting to be my mother, I have. I bought my car in my 50's I am telling people what I think when they make me mad. Sometimes when I talk I hear my mother's voice. But yet I am still me.
