Supposed to be blogging everyday

But life seems to have gotten in the way of that! And for that I'm sorry. Anyway, life has taken a turn for the better recently. We were finally able to buy a new car - well, new to us! A 1984 VW Rabbit Convertible we aptly named 'Raggit the Rabbit'.

He is gunmetal gray and has a beige convertible top. He is a racing vehicle complete with racing suspension, tires, wheels, engine and everything necessary to race - should we ever want to - but I think we'll keep it as our family car.

You might be wondering why we named our car. Well, it's a family tradition, first and foremost, and - how can you not name something with a face! Here's the first picture we took of 'Raggit the Rabbit'.

It is so wonderful to finally have a family vehicle. We have been without a car of our own for over three years now. Yes, in the background you see a 1972 VW Bus that has been sitting in the driveway for nearly two years. Because of funding and time constraints, my wonderful husband has not been able to do much to get Miss Sunny ready for the open road.

She has shoes and an engine and tranny, but the brakes are not operational and doesn't even start up. Poor Miss Sunny. I think she's happier now though that she has a friend. We tend to go a little ga-ga with our vehicles, I know...we're weird.

Fortunately, my husband was able to secure a job as a cab driver and did so for about three years. Which provided us transportation until we were able to get our own car! Now, he gets to give up that job (and the cab) and is working part-time for the Post Office.

We are planning on going back to college full-time and online. Hubby is starting first and then when I am finished working at our daughter's school I will start college full-time, online. I can hardly wait! I had been attending college, but had to drop out due to no money.

That's all about to change in a few weeks and I am looking forward to being a full-time student and finally being able to take care of my home the way it should be taken care of. Working full-time and trying to take care of the house has not worked. It isn't easy, but will be better soon.

Well, I really haven't caught up on everything that's been happening in the last couple of weeks, but I will!
