Money Money Money

Well it’s been a little bit since I have blogged about what is going on around here. I have been busy these past couple of days. First last week I found out that my student loan check was being held by the school for another week or something, or so I was told. Actually I was told everyone’s was in a crazy conspiracy to get more money from the government. Yeah sounds a little silly to me. So I was pretty bummed about that. Friday Lacey and her friend Liz were coming to Ft. Smith to do some shopping, so I said I’d meet up with them. It was nifty. We went around the mall, acted silly, giggly....got some cookies, went to Big Lots, and I kind of freaked out a little on the drive over because Lacey was driving and I get nervous when other people drive. Then to the Halloween Express place and off for lunch at Olive Garden. Where we taunted our server, ok maybe just I did. But she kept forgetting stuff. The food was awesome and so was the company :) 

Then they dropped me back at my car where I went to Old Navy then Kohl’s then Wal-mart and home. I spent all Kadence’s child support, but that’s ok because it was all on her! I bought some stuff for her birthday to put up in case we get broke again by then. I came home and cleaned because Blaine’s mom, step-dad, sister and brother were coming Saturday.  They were here for maybe 2 hours at the most and decided to go to Ft. Smith to get their room but said they would be back. We had Bryceton’s friend staying the night and all the kids were hungry so we went to CiCi’s pizza, and decided to stop and rent movies. While there Blaine’s mom called and said they were at Big Lots and wanted to go to Chuck E Cheese later, so we headed home to let the girls nap before going back, BUT Blaine’s mom and them hadn’t came back, so I guess they were still shopping. We left to go to Chuck E Cheese about 7:30, stayed until 10:30, and we were tired. Spent way too much money. Our 3 kids, plus one, about $40 just in tokens. Not to mention the "I’m hungrys" and the "I’m thristys" and my favorite "I need more coins" 

The next day Blaine’s family came about noon, and left about an hour later. Yesterday Blaine didn’t want to go to work he didn’t feel good, but we didn’t have the co-pay for him to go to the dr. So I said let’s cash in our cans and I’ll take you to work. On the way I decided to check the mail. I just hoped God would smile on us. And He did. There was my check  $4133. 63  YaaaaaaaaY!  EXCEPT...it’s all gone to bills. We were $1000 behind on our house, my books were $400 we owed his grandma money, we are $500 behind on our car and our loan said if we didn’t pay them $460 we had to go to court. Soooo yeah. OH and my lawyer for Madison needed $200 by yesterday, and who knows what else amount he will want. 

But we took a couple hundred and took the kids shopping. Got Bryceton some school clothes finally. All new shoes for everyone, but me :( Got some more stuff for Kadence’s birthday, the kids costumes to wear at her party and Halloween. Got 2 board games to spend more time together. And some diapers and such. And we ate. It was fun too, but I didn’t really get myself anything. Blaine got a new Warcraft game and some new shoes and boxers and a shirt. I got a shirt. But I love doing for the kids so that’s what matters I guess. Oh and Blaine is dehydrated. So he is off work until Thursday. Which sucks. We will broke again I know it.

Last but not least, I said something would happen with my Razr phone that the real estate company gave me the money for since the guy they hired stole mine. And as always I was right. We (we meaning Blaine) accidentally hit the "pay" button twice on paypal. So they tried to take twice the amount out of our bank for 1 phone. After we contacted paypal, they contacted the seller, who refunded us one of the payments. 3 weeks later, no phone. We sent a message to the seller, who didn’t respond. Sent another one, and finally they said they had refunded us, which they had, but only for 1 payment. 

So we sent them the pay conformations numbers showing the 2 different numbers and how we had paid twice, and they said we didn’t. So today I called paypal who said they would send them a message and if they don’t refund us or send us the phone by October 4th, we can get our money back by filing a dispute with them. Still it sucks because this crap phones always hangs up on people and stuff. I WANT MY PINK RAZR!

Oh and my birthday is a week from today.  Send me money lol!
