lyssacThis is so not my time of year. I am currently living in a "if it can go wrong, it will" environment.
Money is extremely tight. We have more bills than income, even though DH has a good job. One of the reasons is our continued vehicle problems. The new van we bought 2 weeks ago died today with no warning. We think it's just the battery and are going to get a new one tomorrow. However, DH had to call into work, because he had no transportation, and he got into trouble for calling in late (because the car worked fine earlier in the day - and not when he had to go to work).
We currently have 4 vehicles here (1 we want to sell, and one that belongs to DH grandparents) and ALL of them have mechanical problems and don't run.
The adoption that we have been working on - not happening. We got screwed over, and no babies for us.
Our kichen sink is and has been backed up - I put drain cleaner down it, we took the pipes out underthe sink, we put sulferic acid tonight - no luck. Guy at Lowe's says it's probbly septic system, which our landlord is SO not going to want to hear.
Our phone isn't working correctly. The signal gets to the box, and the house is wired correctly (we checked) so we have a bad box at the post, but I mised my paymentr on the phonebill Friday, since DISH Network deducted their payment 2 weeks early this month, so I am wary about calling them. Who knows how long it is going to take them to come out, anyway.... especially with the holidays.
And we had to take our new heater back to Wal-Mart today to get money to pay a bill. Now it's cold here again. I can't win.
So, yeah, i am a litte depressed and a whole lot stressed. I just wish that things would get better. I could really use a merry christmas and a happy new year.
