Better...
I took my fasting blood sugar test this morning. Even though it was supposed to be yesterday...I'm SO hungry right now. I just got home. I hate doing that test, necessary though it might be. I am pretty sure my blood pressure is up, but not enough to alert the doctor, and I've been with them for seven years, so I think they have enough data on it to know if I'm up from my norm. So, I find out if I have gestational diabetes from this test. I couldn't eat, or drink anything but water. No COFFEE, and I had to bring the kids. AAAAAAAAAAAHHHHHHHHHH. Travis was gone early. I'm going to be happy when at least Soph goes back to school, because for some reason, she's harder to handle than he is as far as waiting goes. He's more easy going. She freaks out. School's soon, thank goodness.
Well, not to be overly dramatic, but we're going to be fine. I guess your prayers helped, so thanks for them. It was only a week of not getting paid, even if it was money we needed desperately. Basically, I got $70 from oacac, which left what, almost seventy dollars to pay or we'd get disconnected. I got his ad, and we changed it so he might get more calls. It took a couple of days, but since we've changed it, he's started getting more calls. He's in the middle of one now, and it is going to pay what, three hundred. He has one or two that will pay a hundred or so, which leaves us enough to scrape by. I paid the electric bill past due, so they aren't going to disconnect us. I just have to pay the car insurance, and the rent, and the tons of other bills we have to pay to just barely make it. Fun, fun, hu? Anyhow, we're going to be OK, for now. We've always made it, somehow. And we'll make it now, but that was a close one. Now, when it gets cold, the fun starts. He won't get calls, which means that he will have to get a job, because I won't work thru the winter, and probably won't until the baby's at least a year old. Or weaned, whichever happens first.
And I have officially changed banks. Hooray! And as shameful as it is, I left a negative balance with them....they've gotten thousands of dollars in fees from us over the years...literally...so I got a tankful of gas, and I didn't put a deposit in for it. Last year, there was that seven thousand dollar check we put in(the one that was from his financial aide) and they put a two week hold on it, without telling me, and then on teh phone, said that they would honor any checks I wrote. We bought furniture, and tons of other stuff...which all bounced...and they charged me a couple of thousand dollars in fees for that one. Which they would not refund. The nerve. I figure they had it coming...about time I screwed them over, instead of the other way around, hu? So, I'll owe them seventy dollars or so for the checking account. I don't care, I plan on staying with liberty for a while, maybe forever. I like it. They are so nice, and its not a huge bank, but big enough. And customer service is personal-instead of me being just a number! So, I'm happy, so far. Talk to me in a year, and we'll see.
I better go now. Love you, sis, and I hope you get moved easily and fast. Good luck, you know, and may this new apartment be nice and not full of nasty bugs and weird neighbors!
