Never thought I'd ever say this but for the first time ever, we are disappointed in Toyota. They've always been great to us and clearly we love their vehicles since we've owned a 4-runner, Camry Solara, Tundra, and 2 Sienna's. And while we still love their vehicles, the service department has gone to crap lately. We've had issues where they've forgotten to put the paper mats down while driving the vehicle so oil stains were on the floor boards. They've promised to change washer fluids and such but as I pull out see that they "forgot" so I have to have Matthew do it instead. These are just small annoyances but this last time they didn't seal the oil plug properly and Matthew found oil all over our garage floor. Thankfully he was able to seal it off before all of the oil spilled out and we are super grateful it didn't happen on our trip. But I'm majorly disappointed in Toyota. They were very apologetic and offering to shuttle us if need be but I was just furious. I also made sure they documented that this was THEIR mistake so that if there are any other issues in the future we could remind them of this mishap. While we waited on the car to get fixed, we spent time walking the parking lot and I asked Skylar to show me which car she would like to have. At first she chose some ugly colored Vespa which for whatever reason made me think "yep, she's her fathers kid." lol. But when we walked back inside she stopped dead in her tracks and said "oh mama, that's it! I want this one!"
Now that's better! Hard to believe that in no time at all we really will be car shopping for her. Scary thought. The kids were beginning to get antsy and try as I may, I could no longer avoid the play-area so off they went! I hate going to those places because I'm certain Bryce picked something up from there last time but since we had already spent 30 minutes walking around, what was I to do? At least it kept them entertained.
Eva of course nursed during all of this since that's her favorite thing to do and I hate all of the sideways glances I get from people. Hate it. I mean c'mon people! I have 3 kids, one who's potty training, the other who gets bored rather quickly, and the last always hungry! Get over it!! FINALLY they called to tell me that our car was finally ready. After more apologies and a coupon off our next visit, we were off! Thankfully this little adventure had my kiddos pretty wiped so they went right to bed. Me, however, I was having bootcamp withdraws so had my very own workout in the backyard. Note to self: do NOT eat an egg salad sandwich prior to going out in 100 degree heat to workout. Bleh. Either way I got it done and had to send my husband a pic to hopefully encourage him to get his workout in too!
I came super duper close to barfing right after this pic but thankfully held back. In fact I laid down on my bed and passed clean out. It was only a 20 minute nap but it felt great. And it really helped that the kids all woke up in a great mood also. Hoping for a great week ahead.
