Finances and Car Trouble..oh my!

I don't really have the time to go into everything, but I am more confident than ever that everything happens for a reason.
Maybe a month (or two) break is what we need right now. You see, when we don't have money to pour into TTC, another vortex opens up and we have to pour money into fixing our vehicles. Yes, that is plural.
On Wednesday night, the van was acting up on the way home from work. We commuted together on Thursday and took it to a place on Thursday evening. Friday we also commuted together (with B going way out of her way to drop me off at school so she could have the car for deliveries during the day).
Well, on Friday, around 2pm, I get a call from my secretary that I am to call B on her cell phone because HER car was acting up. It was squealing and smelled bad. GREAT. The van, in the meantime, is still in the shop (and they can't find anything wrong with it...AGAIN..more on this later). She made it to my school alright and we drove it to the local mechanic. $299 and 2 hours later, the water pump was replaced and we were free to go home.
The van is still not fixed (although it did not act up on the way home from the shop), but B will be taking it to another place tomorrow. Thank goodness she is on vacation this week.
I'll let her post about this shady place we took the van to...grrr.

How frustrating!! I hope if something is found with the van it's something minor.
