Quoting One Day at a Time *OLS*:“ damn! I'm happy Hans is going to have about a week, me hormonal with no car, no one around and a new baby I see that being stressful.”

ya'll need to take a vacation!

I'm mostly worried about lack of car, he carpools but he probably wont want to as much when the baby is first born and he still drives like 20 minutes to get to the place he carpools from

lol no money to go anywhere!
Maybe you can drive him and pick him up on the days you need the car?

since we moved it takes 30 minutes more due to traffic to get to his work since he works right in Phoenix. Driving him to the place he carpools would be like 40+ minutes round trip that might suck at 0430 with a newborn lol we'll work it out he can go in early and get off at 2 so I always make appointments in the afternoon anyways.

what kind of jeep did you have?

We had to replace my water pump in my 05 liberty like the night before we left for here.

I was thinking about trading it in for a Cherokee or a Durango once I'm in the Army and we're all caught up

a 92 jeep cherokee sport I loooved it it was my baby the fuel pump went out, then it needed a new radiator, then the raditor cracked when I was in coachella, ca. Not fun being by myself there lol Everything could have been fixed I wish we would have but oh well.

I'd go for cherokees! My uncle has had them forever and they run to the ground. They are really good vehicles!
