Ladyjane, I wish we lived closer - I'd send over my hubby to fix the car and come over myself with a nice hot cup of tea to help soothe your spirit. This type of weather is so frustrating and, well, heavy on the spirit. We're so laden down with clothes and boots and kleenix...I understand fully the tears and meltdown!!!

Do you have a way to plug the car in at night? We have a block heater and hubby plugs it in every night. That doesn't help you today, but would be one less worry.

I'm so sorry for your rotten start to the day. I'm heading out myself soon, and will carry you in heart and prayer all day...it's got to get better from here!
