I hate car trouble, but I love....

Pat took my car yesterday to get the oil changed, and it needed the water pump replaced (who knew) I'm just glad I didn't have any trouble with the car on Saturday for my drive that didn't get anywhere. So, I go to pick Rachel up from school at 11, I'm already late, because, I goofed on my timing. I get in the car and it doesn't seem to be going anywhere, why, because I have a flat tire, UGH. Rachel's friend's grandma is the best, I love her, she has 5 kids and is constantally helping them, she has more energy than I do. She takes Rachel to her house for me, so I can get the tire fixed. I call AAA to come change it. When he gets here, he discovers that the spare is shreaded, UGH. So, he tows the car for me to Firestone to get a new tire. I call Saturn about the flat and was going to go there after I got a tire to drive on, but luckily remembered that Sarah had a doctor's appointment with the urogolgist that it took 2 months to get, so I did not want to miss it. So I tell the guy at Firestone that I have to pick my daughter up from school, so could they please hurry. He's kinda of a jerk with me, but they get it changed in time. He's much nicer when I have to pay, because he's showing off for his friend that came into the shop. UGH. I had to get a different tire, because they wouldn't have a tire like I have for a couple of hours. I did not have time for that. So we'll use this tire I bought as a spare and Pat can deal with getting me a tire on his next day off. UGH. So hopefully I won't run over anything, in the mean time. The AAA guy, said the hub cap was loose, and the stem thingy was not on straight or tight, so I suspect that Saturn left it that way yesterday when they checked the tires turing the oil change. UGH. Now we;ll be fighting with them on it, the tire was less than 4 months old. UGH.
