I'd love to say "Happy Friday"....sadly I can't. It's been one of those weeks for us at 523.
With the passing of the hubs grandfather, we were then left with the task of breaking our 8 year old's heart with the news.
The next day we got to battle it out with a hospital and doctor about why they are sending us a bill that we already paid for....it's now been decided that it's a bill from the doctor. So, paying for the doctor isn't a huge problem, (don't get me wrong, this doctor certainly doesn't work for a discount) but when you are told for two months the bill is paid and we should not have received anything and they have a lag in their accounting system so that's the reason for the bill, blah, blah, blah, to then get told that this belongs to the doctor who is now billing us....it becomes a very irritable issue.
Next up, my phone, email, Instagram and other different accounts got hacked into this week.....I spent hours upon hours on the phone with banks, retirement accounts, Amazon, etc., trying to get every single password changed over. I finally hit my witts end and broke down and just cried to the lady at Amazon....btw, Cassandra at Amazon was absolutely fantastic.....she just let me cry it out to her....although most of what I cried about had nothing to do with my Amazon account, she just listened to me and told me how I was stronger than this situation and that I would make it through....don't you just love people like her?
Now my bank accounts are all on high alert to any large charges....consequently our dishwasher broke yesterday and I have to make a very large purchase from our account that is put on a "high charge" alert....I wonder how that's going to go?
My heater in my car went out on Wednesday and a compressor for it will cost me another large amount....again from an account that is put on an alert. I can foresee many mommy meltdowns at the Auto Zone and Home Depot very soon.
To pour salt in to an already open wound, I forgot to put Caleb's book back in his school bag....the book that contained his homework. He will receive a 0 for last night's homework because of me. I'd love to email the teacher about this, but no, my email has been hacked and I haven't got it all changed over yet.
When we get to school we then we realize the fact that I also forgot to pack him a lunch.
So let's recap my super mom powers here:
- he gets a bad grade because super mom didn't put the book back where she got it from
- super mom completely forgets his lunch...although super mom's lunch was packed
- he will soon have a not so cold lunch because you can't buy ice packs and freeze them in the car before shamelessly taking the forgotten lunch back up to the school.....I can feel my cape blowing in the wind.
I had to drop him off at school, run to the nearest store to pick up some sort of packaged lunch and drop it back off at the school which then made 45 minutes late to work.
The best I could think to do was to pick him up a pre-packaged brownie with a note saying "I'm sorry and I love you" and throw it in his lunch bag along with the lunchable.
I'd ask what else could go wrong this week....but I'm sure my house will burn to the ground.
I'm think I'm going to go home, curl up in my bed with Caleb's Halloween candy, a glass of wine and watch my recorded episodes of A Haunting.
Hopefully the TiVo still works.
