If you can't stand the Heat, get out of the Car!I had a friend in our town say that it feels like a pilgrimage to go into Walmart. We live an hour and a half from the closest one, so it is quite an ordeal to get low prices. I used to go about once a week, now it has fallen to once a month.
Food prices in our town are ridiculous. I can't stand spending $3 for a gallon of milk, when I know that if I had just gone to Walmart, I could have gotten it for $2.25. So, yesterday being payday and all the little one and I jumped into the car and drove down the highway. I left M home with Daddy, he can work from home and she is the one that can be entertained.
Anyway, the one flaw with my plan was that the Air Conditioning has not worked in my car for about a year. We have not had the funds to have it looked at, so we have just made due with no cool air. Yesterday however, the temperatures were over 100 degrees and my daughter and I definitely started feeling the effects. Even with the windows down, it was not a happy time.
I bought a cheap squirt bottle and some water. While driving, I drenched both of us over and over again to help us through the drive. Each time I looked back at the little one, her face was bright red and she looked miserable, so I sprayed her again. I stopped once and got some ice out of the cooler (its how I get the meat, milk, cheese, and any other fridge products home), and threw some ice down her back... I felt terrible!
When we finally pulled into our driveway again, we ran into the nice air conditioned house and just lay down under the vents. I don't plan to go to Walmart for quite some time, but we will be saving our pennies to fix the AC!
*EDIT* We took the car into a shop and had them look at the AC. They charged it up and put some dye into it so they can find out where the leak is. When it stops working, we are supposed to bring it back in. So far, it has been a week, and the AC works perfectly! What's up with that?
