We Need Another Car. Period.

Tuesday is music lesson day.... This means I need the car on Tuesdays, which since we only own one car means I have to take my husband to work thirty minutes away for 8 AM.

This is generally how it works out... Monday night I work, regardless of whether I'm done or not, I crawl into bed at the latest by 3 AM. 9 times out of 10, I am not ready to go bed yet. I toss and turn. Sometimes I get up and do something else. If I'm lucky, I get one hour of straight sleep before I have to get up. I get up at 7, get dressed and we leave by 7:30. I get back by 8:30 and I usually sleep until sometime in between 11 and 1 (usually I set the alarm for 1, if I wake up earlier, I get up earlier). Sometimes I sleep fine, sometimes I sleep crappy.

Today I slept crappy.

I usually take the time before I have to leave for lessons to check email and such.... I leave at 2:30 for violin lessons at 3, I have a break between 3:30 and 4:15 where I knit, and then 4:15 is voice lessons... Then I go pick up Matt a little bit after 5 and come home.

On Tuesdays, I work exclusively at night... Or at least, I try to...

The problem being usually by the time all of this has transpired I'm so tired I can't remember my name, and I'm so irritable and easily distracted that I want to find my husband's mute button and permanently switch it to silent.

Which is making going into debt by buying a car all the more tempting...
