Lets see...I have a donut on my car....My tire has some sort of hole in it and every three days I have to put air in it, so JR to it to discount tire thinking they could plug the hole, but once they checked it they said the tire had a large gash from the inside...(hmmm, then why is the air leaking out slowly?) You would think that it would just be a flat tire, right? Well, while they were checking the other tires they said that the other back tire also has a gash in it and probably wont last a month...hmmm...that air isn't losing any air. So, I am always skeptical, but here are my thoughts...
#1 we bought the car in mid July - so 4 months...when we bought the car I did ask if it had new tires, and was told no, that they only replace the tires if they are in bad shape, but that the tire are all inspected. So in 4 months, my "passed inspection" tires have two gashes in them???
#2 Can the Discount Tire people really not fix the tire or do they just want me to have buy two new tires???
Anyway, so they guy tells JR about the tires and says he is going to put the donut on the car, JR ask him not to put the spare on and just put air in the regular tire. Okay....They bring the car out...it has the spare on it. JR says, hey why is the spare on, the guy says they had to put it on for liability reasons...hmmm? So what about the other tire with the gash in it??? And besides all that, why didn't he just say that when JR asked to not put the spare on??? So yay, we get to throw out $200 for two new tires! Yippeeeee!
Every day Landry and I have worked on walking...the girl is too funny. She seriously has no interest in walking..and the reason I know this for sure...SHE CAN WALK! Yes she only takes about five steps before she is in my arms...but she has been doing it continuously since this weekend, and he has been cruising since she was 7 months old. So I am thinking that she can do it, she just doesn't want to. When Logan took his first step, it shocked him and he fell immediately, but then he sat there kind of dazed, he stood up and tried again..this time taking 3 steps. He did this several times, and 3-4 days later the kids was walking all over. Landry on the other hand...she is like, hey look, I can walk, but crawling or cruising is so much easier so I will just stick with that! I am not trying to push it...but kinda I am. It doesn't really bother me that much, but it would be nice to not have to carry her everywhere. I try not to compare my children, because they are so incredibly DIFFERENT. But sometimes I do it not really as a comparison, but to point out their differences...I feel like maybe it will give me more insight to who they are, and who they will be. From what I know right now, they will have to be dealt with completely differently...they just have such different personalities. Landry seems to be more patient, while Logan is more demanding...(hmmm - think about that and the walking issue - Logan, at 8 1/2 months - determined to figure it out immediately - Landry - slow and steady wins the race..hahaha) Anyway, I could go through all their differences, but I will say this, they are BOTH very tender hearted people who love to kiss, hug, and cuddle with momma! How lucky am I? The luckiest!!!!
Happy almost Thanksgiving!

Aiden was really finicky about learning to walk too. He knew how to walk for two weeks before he really accepted it and started to do it on his own. Before that, we had to force him. It even got to the point that when we held his hands to help him walk, he would lift up his feet so they didn't touch the ground. LOL! Stubborn kids!! She'll pick it up eventually.
Oh, and I know what you feel, being frustrated about the car. I HATE car problems because I have no way to know for sure that they are telling the truth. I could take the car to another mechanic to check it out, but that takes time and patience that I don't have. And sometimes it costs money for them to check out your car. STUPID. Good luck!
