First ER Trip of 2009

This will be the last post for today. Because this is not a very happy post I have to give it a spot of it's own. Today is the second day of a new year and we have had our first trip to the ER. Big Joe was awoken from a deep sleep around 10:30 last night with a bad migraine. After trying his normal routine to stop the migraine, all the while getting worse not better, he decided it was time to get help. So at 3:30 this morning I drove him to the ER for help. After some shot into an IV for migraines, one bag of IV fluid, adn two an a half hours we returned home.

So much for the healthier new year!

What a great day!

What a day yesterday was. I get in the car to take my kids to school and it wont start. I have Joe bring me the phone and I call my neighbor and ask if I can get a jump and she tells me I have to wait for her husband to get back from the Gym. So we wait unitl he gets home. After hooking up the jumper cables my car starts right up. I quickly tell him thank you and pile the kids in the car again and rush to get them to school on time. (School is about 40 mins away.) Luckly traffic was unusually light and they were there with time to spare. The car worked fine the rest of the day, but I decided I better stop to have the battery tested. So after I picked Joe up from school I drove to a checkers where the man told me I would have to get a new battery. He was nice enough to even put it in for me. However, the battery that the computer said was in my car was not the right one. So have two trys and 30 mins later, he had the right battery in my car and I was on my way back to school to pick up the girls.


About 10 mins from home I was hit while sitting at a stop light. The interestion where I was stopped has one through lane, right turn lane, and a left turn lane. I was stopped when the through lane branches off into the left turn lane. The driver behind me thought that she could squeeze past me but she didn't make it. She claims that she was in a hurry to get to a gas station because her car was over heating. When needless to say she didn't get to a gas station very quickly. It just so happened that an officer from Surprise was traveling that same road in the same direction so he stopped to help with the switching of information. I think we were stopped for at least 30 mins and it was HOT and I had all four kids in the car. We are all fine, but now I will have to play the waiting game with her insurance company to get my car fixed.

Auto Bill Pay

Love it or hate it?
Some people set it up through their bank account, but others (like me whose bank want to charge me for it) set it up with the individual billing companies. Today I HATE it again! While it saves me about a min, a check, and a stamp it causes big headaches.

I just discovered that my car insurance, which was canceled in the middle of June, went ahead and pulled a payment from my checking account. For those of you like me, living paycheck to paycheck, every unexpected expense really hurts. Granted Joe gets paid tomorrow or at least I hope so. But the problem is that others planned on bills have not been taken out and now I run the risk of not having enough money in the account to cover them.

When I called the company they said that while a charge was posted on Monday a refund check for the same amount was issued that same day. Since a refund check has already been issued there is nothing they can do to help. I am so upset because when I canceled my policy I specifically asked what I needed to do to make sure this exact thing did happen. The lady I spoke with assured me everything would be just fine. Well it is not fine- Augh!

Another complaint of my is when they give you a scheduled pull out day and then don't use it. Last month I had a company that was suppose to pull out on a Friday and they waited until Tuesday or Wednesday on the following week to take out the money. I guess I shouldn't be mad, but the problem I have here is it makes it look like we have more money then we really do.

What to do? I wish I knew!
