UGH!
I don't think I've ever had a day like I did on Tuesday. First off...Tuesday is my day off. It's my day to go back to sleep when the kids get on the bus & wake up when I want. Then I can just stay in my jammies all day. I *usually* love Tuesday. Well this Tuesday was the exception.
It all started when we got 9 inches of freaking snow before 6:00 a.m. Yes...it was 80 degrees here last week & Tuesday we get a fing avalanche of snow. So, of course, school was cancelled. Well, Z got up at 6:20 because his alarm went off & I told him to go back to bed. Normally I have to fight him to get up but not this morning. He can't go back to sleep. I'm like...Dude, get your butt to bed because I ain't getting up with you. Anyway...I don't think that kid can be quiet because he had me up & out of bed by 7:00.
So then, I decided to balance my checkbook. So I'm sitting there stumped because I can't find a $2.00 difference. So I pull the statement out & really look at it. Sprint charged me $1 to pay my local bill and $1 to pay my PCS bill with my debit card. How freaking ridiculousis that? They are going to charge me to pay my bill? I think NOT. So I'm on the phone because I know that I want my money back. Anyway, I felt like the paperboy from the movie "Better Off Dead" screaming "I want my 2 dollars". Little did I know that that was the least of my problems.
I was going through some stuff on my desk & I found a denial letter John had received on a credit card he was trying to get. It said on it that we could have a free copy of his credit report so that we could see why they denied him. So I decided that I would take a look at it because I knew that there was no reason he shouldn't have been accepted. I pull the credit report online & we found that someone has been using his SS# to get credit. They have ran up numerous bills in his social & a bunch of stuff has gone to collections. I am absolutely sick. I had to call all these people, put in all these disputes, call more people, put in fraud alerts (& I did it on my ss# too because if they have his they may have mine) & just freak out. I was on the phone from 8:30 until almost 3:00 in the afternoon. I have never been through so much in my whole entire life. And the bad thing is that we don't even know if they will remove the stuff from his credit. I told him that I don't care if we end up paying more in legal fees than the bills are worth...WE AREN'T PAYING SOMEONE ELSES BILLS. We have enough of our own.
So then my grandma decides she is going to make soup. You have to understand....when Grandma makes soup if you don't go IMMEDIATELY to get a bowl you don't get any. My uncles come over & they eat it ALL in like a matter of seconds. So I get in my car & I brave the 9 inches of snow to go get my soup. I got all the way there & all they way back with no problems. I pull in my driveway & I slide all the way into our front yard. I'm like freaking out because I have the car buried & I know John is going to kill me if I leave it there. So I'm outside, with the snow still falling, & I'm trying to shovel my way out. I look like an ass.. trying to shovel & push my car. But I finally got it unstuck. YAY me! LOL
Last but not least....I wait until the evening because I want to record everything that happened in my LJ & don't you know as soon as I sit on my computer chair it breaks! I fell on my ass so hard I cried like a baby. My back still hurt yesterday from the fall. It was bad. (I'm feeling better now)
So anyway...that was the day from hell & I hope to never have another.
