Rats, Maggie. I hope the van can be fixed with a minimum of fuss.
Nicole, VBS is Vacation Bible School. It's usually a week long, really fun Sunday School of sorts. Most are about 3 hours each day, with a big picnic or something at the end.

Thanks Ruth 
I am about to start some baking, from scratch for the FIRST TIME EVER!!! I am making some honey crackles, which I have made before, some teething treats for Nathy and tomorrow I think I will make some biscuits (cookies) for me and Grace. MMMMMM. Would be so lovely to be doing this in my new kitchen with my new oven, oh well. Soon, hopefully!

He would start with testing the battery though...much cheaper to replace then the alternator
I know he's a mechanic and I am only a mechanic's daughter, lol, but I would not do that. Basically because if the alternator killed the battery, and you replace the battery without testing the alternator, you may end up buying two batteries AND an alternator. So I would test both and hope it was the former. Really, though, a bad battery will not make a car die while running, in general.

I'm with Jennifer ... back when dd was first born, we were out of town visiting friends. Car died outta the blue. Managed to get it jumped and to a parts place for testing. They only tested the battery, and said it needed replacing, but that if they charged and jumped it, we could most likely make it home again. Well, that's what they did ... we made it two blocks. Ended up having it towed to a garage and they tested the alternator ... it was fried. Replaced that (at a cost of $400 plus an overnight stay in that city) ...
I'd say if the store can test both, then get both tested ... if the alternator comes up as problematic, get it replaced and then see if the battery holds the charge.

Maggie- AutoZone and also Advance Auto both can do tests for you to see what it is (for free). Alternators are also *really easy* to fix, so if dh knows anybody from church with any car experience at all, they can probably tackle it in under two hours (including heading to the auto parts) and certainly under $100 (unless both battery and alternator are bad, then maybe a little over). My husband replaced our alternator and he had never seen it done before and the car worked great until we ditched it...
Rachel- you *touched* a snake  I can see beating the tar out of it to keep it from the kids, but then the limp harmless thing could just lay there until a man came- I wash the skid mark underwear, therefore, I do not deal with creepy crawly things... and yep, I've done the bowl thing too! 
Any news on Brian? I saw that he got hurt badly, but then didn't see an update after surgery... I am not praying for other people for awhile though- but I'll be happy to pass on requests- God is not on the same page as me right now. For Vivi, I prayed that she would have a wonderful birthday present (like opening her eyes, breathing better, etc.) and instead, she got a heavenly birthday party. I prayed that Donna would get some unexpected help this week with the whole meal/grocery thing- Brian gets injured and now they have meals and childcare... not.what.I.meant. Our Sunday School is starting a new study on Romans next week, so that will probably help... Right now I am restricting prayers to good nights sleep and peace- very specific things...
Alright... I need to go get that last load of laundry in so that if dh can come home I can make it to Vivi's funeral this morning. I really hope he can come home, I would feel terrible if I missed it, but babysitting other's kids really puts a wrench in things- If it were just my girls, I would just take them along and not think anything of it, but other people's kids at a child's funeral- or dropping them off at a friends while I get paid- just all around  We'll see...

I could only touch a snake if my son's life depended on it, and even then, once it was dead I would leave it until hubby got home.
Jennifer, I hope everything works out for you attending the little girl's funeral.
We've had an interesting day so far. dH is taking the week off, and today we got out of the house early to do a 2 mile hike at a nearby park. dH wore Nathan with a aluminum-frame carrier, but even before 10am it was still nasty-hot.
Then dH dropped me off at home and took Nathan to the mall. I took a 30min break to recoup from the hike, then popped in the Top Gun soundtrack to do chores without Nathan around. The music ended, and I am breaking for lunch before tackling the bathrooms.

I spray them with Dermoblast, which numbs them and I can easily and neatly pick them up in toilet paper (inches thick 
). The job was second shift and they let me come in whenever he got home so we didn't have to leave her with anybody else. I just couldn't bear being away from her. 
Last night when I called in, everything was very normal at home. That was wonderful! I don't think we'll have any transition period to get back to normal routine. She's a trooper!
