Lights and kids and work, oh my!

Yesterday, my engine light, VTM4 light, and a little wrench light all came on while I was driving.  So, after my son's basketball practice last night, I decided to stop into the dealer's service department (since I was already on that side of town).  I got there at 7:30 pm and didn't leave until 10 pm!  Ughhh!  I was just wanting an oil change and have them tell me why my lights came on.  I thought I'd be in and out.  Sigh.

Long story short, the engine and VTM4 lights were on because my oil was too low (I was not over my mileage from the last oil change, btw) and the wrench light was because I have scheduled maintenance due.  That one won't go off until that maintenance is done.  That includes oil change, something with the transmission, and a tire rotation.  Unfortunately, it took them so long to figure all of this out that I didn't have time to stick around and have them do the work last night.  My son was already asleep in the waiting room. :(  So, they put more oil in to hold me over until I can bring it back in for the maintenance work.

Today I helped in my son's class again.  The kids are all so cute, but I am glad I am only there 1 day a week.  ;)  Today was their "friendship party".  Basically their Valentine's party.  At the end of the day, the teacher turned on the Cha-Cha Slide and Cupid Shuffle.  It was pretty funny teaching the kids the dances. 

Tomorrow, I have to go to a 3 hour class to renew my BLS certification.  It expires this month and I was holding out in hopes that I'd have a job that would pay for it, but...no.

Good news is, I have several events coming up that I'm scheduled to work.  Most of which are at the large financial institution I was at in October and November.  I had thought they were done with events there, but I was apparently wrong.  It's fine with me though, because it's only about 20-25 minutes from my house!  I'll be there this coming Tuesday and then about 4 more times in the first half of March.  I'm glad these events are starting to come back up again.  Before this week, I hadn't worked since the beginning of December!
