When it Rains it Pours

So last week Joe's car seemed to be leaking anti freeze. We were worried that it was going to be a costly repair. Joe added more anti freeze though and so far all seems good. We're hoping it holds out. Then this weekend he started not feeling well. Saturday night we thought he had strep. We were going to take him to the hospital, but he didn't want to miss work because if he didn't go in Sunday then he'd loose his holiday pay. His sore throat did get better, but he has a really bad cold it seems. He's afraid he might have pneumonia again. He's been running a fever since Saturday. But still he's been toughing it out and going to work. He got up this morning prepared to go to his morning job. I slept on the couch last night and kept the baby in the living room with me so he could get some sleep hopefully in the bed. So 4:30 this morning he wakes me up and tells me my car has a flat tire!!! Ugh, we just bought these tires back in February. I don't remember driving over anything that would cause it to be flat. So Joe called out of his morning job because he doesn't get home early enough for Natalie to go to school and he didn't want to change the tire in the dark. He is now bringing Natalie to school for me. He's still running a fever. I think we might be taking him to the doctor today. Although, if he doesn't go to work today then he also could loose his holiday pay. I just hope he hasn't been making things worse for himself by continuing to work like this. I guess it's up to the store manager if he gets his holiday pay or not if he calls out. I would assume that the man would kind of have to have a heart. I mean he's gone to work the past two days sick as a dog for the man. No one else would do that. So I just hope he takes care of this and gets better soon. Hopefully his car doesn't start leaking anti freeze again and cost us an arm and a leg to fix. Hopefully my flat tire isn't caused by something that I ran over and the warranty will cover it.
