Against all odds

Goodness gracious we need this vacation. It seems like the more I want it, the less likely it is going to happen. Yesterday hubby was almost told that he couldn't go on leave because they "didn't realize how many people had put in leave for that week" and they've now left themselves with about four people on the team to be there. A LOT has happened, other than that, that has seemingly put our vacation in jeopardy, but we've gotten past it all.

Today we went to go grab some lunch and a snowcone before I needed to go to work. Well, on the way back home my explorer started driving weird and I thought I had a flat. So, we pulled over to see what was the matter and turns out the wheel bearing (however you spell it) on one of my tires has worn down so badly hubby was afraid to even drive it home. Well, we got home and he started doing his mechanic thing and looking to see what needed to be done. We literally have nearly no money to spare until he gets paid on Tuesday and I get paid on Friday and there is NO way his truck could ever make it to Florida and back without some major issues. Thankfully his supervisor is also a good friend and he says that between the two of them they can get it fixed this afternoon. I'm praying so stinking hard. Harder than I have in a long time. I'm praying it's a cheap fix and that they can actually fix it with what tools they have. I'm praying we can still hit the road tomorrow and have a fabulous vacation because we NEED this time together. If we can't go, I know we'll still have fun together and make the best of it, but I'd MUCH rather be sitting on the beach with a beer in hand. Oh please Lord! PLEASE help them fix it.
