It's a new day and as we approach the hour of 9 Am, only three of us are awake. Gavin and Lizze are still sleeping, while the boys and I are watching cartoons.  We have nothing on the agenda, especially considering our car is out of commission for the immediate future.  I should find out how much the repairs are going to cost me today and then it's just a matter of getting paid on Friday.
