The trials of life

This is going to be long.........We had a few days last week that just just kept getting worse and worse. It is just amazing. When one bad thing happens, it all comes crashing down! I open the mail to find a notice from the AZ DMV saying that they have no proof of insurance coverage and they have suspended our tags. I called our insurance company and the lady tells me that the DMV is basically stupid and for me to call them. I told her to just fax our info over to them and then I would follow up. Turns out shes the stupid one, she had the wrong VIN # on our policy. Then I get a bill from DirecTV for $700 because we had yet to send our old receivers back. Ok, my bad. I called Fed-Ex and arranged for a pick-up. I try to get online and no internet, no phone either, hmm no t.v either! I know I paid the bill and even checked my bank statement, so I had to call and have a battle with them. We were right, but it took a day to get everything back on. Then we found out that to continue our health coverage our premium would be 1K a month, this is through Jacobs old work, a COBRA policy. I had put in an app for a different policy 2 months ago, but they are waiting on health records. So for now, no health insurance. This happens just as Nadia gets sick and is due for her well baby check and shots. We will just have to pay for it out of pocket. Wait.... There's more.

On Friday my Dad called and said he thought he was getting shingles again, so it would be best if they didn't watch Nadia. In case you don't know, shingles are chicken pox. Yes, children should be exposed early, but not at 4 months old. So, no biggie. Brick can watch Nadia or I could just work from home. I talked with my boss and he said working from home was fine. At noon I get a call from his wife asking what is going on so I tell her. Then she makes it sound like I was skipping out on work. Apparently she wanted me to go with her to show clients houses, but she never told me. I told her that I told Mike I would go into work if there was anything that needed done there and he said I could do it from home. So, she admitted that she should've told me and I offered to come in right then, but she was already on her way to pick them up. Then she sends me an email that night that asks if I am serious about wanting to take buyers out and selling houses because if not they need to know. I told her again, "I'm sorry if I came off as if I was not serious about work. Had I known you wanted me to go along today I would have. When we talked about me working more hours you said that some of them could be from home as long as nothing in the office was slipping and I asked. I asked Mike what needed to be done and he said I could work from home, I didn't think there was a problem." So she writes me back. "Its all good. Will you meet me Tuesday at 9 to take out more buyers?" I'm sure it's just because of all the things happening at once, but I thought I was going to have a nervous breakdown! I calmed down during the weekend and met up with her yesterday. Everything was fine and they keep talking about how excited they are to have me. Communication with them has got to get better though, neither one of them knows what the other is telling me what to do!

Ahhh, sometimes it just takes getting it all out to feel better. I have been especially sensitive lately and I'm sure it's hormones. I'm so sick of that word. I changed to a different birth control and I am hoping that will help. I felt especially irritable with the last one so I went back to the brand I used before. I really just want to be back to normal again.
