Monday Madness
Today was definitely Monday! I don’t usually have a bad vibe about Mondays but I believe since Friday the 13th went well for me it ended up catching up with today. I woke up thinking about how wonderful today was going to be and was hit with a rude awakening from the beginning.
I worked lastnight until midnight and then headed to bed. I woke up a few times during the night to get the girls drinks or wrap them up and finally began the day at 5:50 am. I got up, fixed my fiance’s lunch and woke him up at 6am… then again at 6:15…. and yet again at 6:30 and finally at 6:40 he was up. Yes I go through this often and it’s become quite the annoying routine. After getting him out the door to work My middle daughter woke up and helped me wake up my son. The bus always comes between 7:20am and 7:30, I know this because we watch “Ben 10″ every morning and before it’s over the bus is on the way. So today Ben 10 had gone off and we had watched half of the other show before the bus came! By this time my youngest daughter had woke up and was sitting in the hallway kicking her feet and yelling about absolutely nothing. I put everyone back to bed in hopes of restarting the day on a better note…. it didn’t happen.
I have been trying to pay off a college loan over the past year or so and finally made my last payment last week! I signed up for online courses only to find out that I still owe the college I attended. I’m not yet sure why because I’ve paid off the loan completely yet for some reason they say that there is over 200 dollars that I owe from the loan. My thoughts are if it’s part of the loan then shouldn’t it have been paid off with the loan I just paid?! I can’t go to school until it’s paid and I won’t pay it until I figure out why it’s there.
Next on my day to disaster…
I recieved a letter back in January saying that I have been called for jury duty. Well I filled out the form to ask to be excused because I don’t have transportation nor do I have anyone to watch my kids. I was excused but ended up getting another letter this month saying that I needed to appear in March. HELLO!!! My situation hasn’t changed at all! I am a work at home mom, I have three kids in which two stay home with me, I do not have a license nor do I have anyone that can take me!!! I wasn’t excused this time and it makes me sick to my stomach thinking about it. I called and spoke to a lady at the court and she explained to me that no transportation and no childcare isn’t a valid excuse. umm why not? As I explained to her everyone I know works during the day, I don’t have a license and if I could afford childcare I wouldn’t work at home! Her words to me: “Well you’ll have to find transportation and find childcare” well thank you miss lady from down under for the help!
I don’t know what they expect I mean we don’t have buses or cabs around here that can take me and no childcare means no childcare! I guess I’ll have to find a way there and take my kids how would they like that!! I can’t believe some people. I don’t have a problem doing jury duty but seriously give me a break. Call on me when my kids are in school or something!
All I can say is thank God tomorrow is Tuesday!
