Times are hard right now. Hubby is unemployed but receiving unemployment. He is 1 semester away from his degree and is going into the medical field so that will be another 2 years in school. Ok, I can deal with that. He has a job waiting for him end of January early February which will give him hours around his school schedule. Cool. That is perfect. No problems there.
Christmas is a few weeks away and hubby decided to have Lasik on his eyes.
He is financing it at (choke) 26% but it is free if paid off in 1 year. OK, we are pretty good about those things but what about Christmas? I usually manage to pull off a great one for the boys because of Kohls coupons, free giftcards from the stores and internet deals. However, there does not seem to be much of that this year.I do not have 1 gift yet. Not one (except I did get 3 gifts for toys for tots) and my finances are depleted trying to get my van to pass emissions and being screwed by Ford because they are playing the let's try this at $350, now we''ll try that for an additional $282 and now we'll try this other thing for $800. I have yet to hear from their Michigan headquarters because I want my money back because they said they can determine what the problem is and fix it but they can't. Fortunately they are older and can understand the delimma I am in but we have been there before and I have managed to pull off some fabulous christmas' but I just dont think it will happen this year.
To add to this I still cannot get a plumber out here to connect the main line to the addition and run the necessary lines and run the stink pipes thru the roof. I know the reason is because that is all we want them to do. I dont need them to do anything else. We will take it from there. But they are not going to make a fortune on the tub,sink,toilet,vanity,fixtures etc. so no one will take on the job. I have been waiting since 9/15 for the final electrical inspection and the electric company still has not put in a new meter so all our bills are estimated. I have called numerous times as well as hubby and still nothing. I am afraid that they will sock me with a doozie of a bill but how can they determine what to charge if there is no meter?
On top of this hubby has to have major surgery on Dec.16th and my sis is having a biopsy on her throat (she does not smoke) Dec. 15th. They are just numbing the area instead of general anesthia but she has a swallowing problem and chokes on her own saliva so I will be at her house all night then go home to take hubby for his surgery. My hubby is the biggest baby in the house and I am dreading the constant service I must give him when he comes home. I have been thru this with him in the past and I was constantly waiting on him hand and foot unless he was sleeping. I am not looking forward to any of this.
I am depressed and stressed.
Thanks for listening
Me :p
