I'm going to whine so if you don't want to read a whiny blog... click the back button now.
Ok, got things going here... rented a truck for the move.. going to cost $90 just for the truck and then a further $.99/mile for driving it PLUS I have to replace all the gas. I have to have the danged thing for 3 days because they aren't open on Sunday... and Sunday is when I have off... and Monday but I don't think we can do it all in one day especially since i'm the only one around on Monday till after everyone's done working.
Kids' dad decided that out of all the days so far in this year, Sunday is the one he HAS to spend time with the kids. Naturally. It's HIS birthday on Tuesday. Did he seem them on theirs. Nope. Christmas? Nope.
Anyhow... I have to get the power turned on. So I call the electric company who says I owe them $451.25 from four years ago in 2 months I didn't even LIVE there and they were supposed to have the power OUT of my name. Of course, they tell me this at 5 minutes before they close for the day so nobody can help me. Not only that this is the FIRST I'm hearing about this. In FOUR years. PLUS they want a $125 deposit after the other money is paid before they will turn my power on.
I don't know what I'm going to do. I have to give the landlord the rent and security deposit on Sunday. I have to pay the first week in the old house by the 5th. I don't have an extra $575. I don't even have an extra $5.75 at this point. I don't have time to fight this old bill I didn't know anything about.
I just want to curl up in my bed and cry but I have so much still to do to get ready for Sunday and I have to work all day tomorrow and Sunday morning. Right now I can't do anything but sit here and type.
Nothing EVER goes right.

I was in the same boat when I moved to the mountain but different circumstances.
When the going get's tough, the tough get going!
Well..look at this this way.
Be thankful you have a place and some don't even have a roof.
God knows you in the dark, he'll provide a way.
Always does.
Good time to 'camp out', do some thinking, reflecting without the 'pollution' of electronic gagets for now.
It can be fun.
In the meantime..calling all angels.

The night is always the darkest, just before the dawn! You will get through this Ms. Wolf. I have faith in you. Now stand on the faith you have in yourself and you will make it through this storm.

Sometimes it's hard to remember when you are up to your A-- in Alligators that the initial objective was the drain the swamp.....
There's nothing to say that can placate you at this moment. Things are not ever cut and dried.....if you can you raise the deposit of $125...perhaps the power company will add $50.oo a month onto your power bill until the $451.25 is paid...and give you a break...
I hope so...

Thanks peeps... I had a good cry and a good nap and I feel better. Just got an application for a job at the DNR that is about 3x my present salary so hopefully that'll go somewhere. I'd love to work for the DNR. :)
