This week I was sent on an emotional roller coaster. After potentially losing my film last week, I was hoping to get off to a great start this week. But, I guess it wasn’t meant to be…I drove into work and as soon as I pulled up, parked, and proceeded to roll up my windows and get out my car, the window would NOT roll up. I subsequently couldn’t drive my car anymore because I can’t leave it in parking lots with the window down.

THEN, I drove my Mom’s car to work. Tuesday was fine but on Wednesday, I pull in and as I am walking away from the car, I look back at it and see these HUGE brown spots on my Mom’s ALL WHITE 2005 Honda!! I look up and there is rust-stained water dripping from the parking garage ceiling. I got soap and water and of course, it would not come out! So now, not only is MY car messed up, my Mom’s is too! I had no idea what to do but panic, I felt soo bad and it had me wondering…to be or not to be??

With regards to my project, I was able to get the clips playing again but the next day I came back…it wouldn’t play again! It took me three days before the video would actually play and not have errors the next time I tried to play it! Once I got it to stay, I began going through the film looking for tips that would help volunteers. I also filmed a LELP (preschool program) session that had me smiling all day. The kids have a ball in there and it is so nice seeing their different personalities. And to be honest, it made me feel all warm and fuzzy inside:-)

It was a tough week that had me questioning whether this project is to be or not to be…but I am determined to see the rainbow at the end of the tunnel! I found out that the motor died in my window and it will cost a few hundred dollars to get fixed but, I was able to buy a rubbing compound to get the stains out of my Mom’s car and create some great memories with the children in the LELP class!

So all I can say is that I’m hoping to get off to a fresh start next week…Here’s to another week of crossed fingers, lol
