I’m having a hard day.
with the AD’s I haven’t really cried much; for some reason it holds it back. well I guess it’s good to know I still can. cos I am. well, I have a couple of times this week. it’s been a hard week (which is not to say I haven’t had some perfectly lovely times too…).
I’ve been having trouble sleeping so when the kids are off to school and babyjane is watching a movie I tend to crawl back in bed for another hour lately.
well, babyjane got out four bottles of my nail polish, pink, pinker, coral, and red. she painted her hands, her whole hands, her coat, her sister’s cast off underwear… she also got it on the carpet, the sofa, the kitchen sink, and the chair she used to climb up there.
she’s in her room.
I got a notice a few days ago that my health insurance cobra has been cancelled. I didn’t call till today. I have phone issues and I needed to gear up. so I just called… how much worse is my day going to get, right? the guy on the phone was very nice, but he can’t really help me. they didn’t log my first payment and I’m not sure that my bank can help me much with that. the proof they have doesn’t include the name of the payee. if the cobraserve doesn’t accept my proof, I’m fucked.
I started to do that quiet cry toward the end of the call. I could tell he felt really bad for me, but sometimes there’s just nothing anyone can do.
***edited to add: in december I took my phone bill in to the office and asked them if they could take the caller id off my line please… I don’t even have a phone that displays it and I didn’t know I had it. in fact, I asked specifically for NOTHING on my line at all. it’s no big deal, but seven bucks is seven bucks. so they said, oh yes, we’ll take care of it. last month the bill was just the same. THIS month the bill has the caller id off, and I’m being billed 50 doll hairs for doing so. I am so not allowed to own guns. end edit***
these kinds of things, misunderstandings, have always happened to me. I’m used to it. but it still sucks.
I miss my grandad.

Oh geez.. I’m gobsmacked that they didn’t log the payment.. they just lost it? That’s unbelievable
(PS ~ I gave my landlord hell on the phone tonight for being in our house without our knowledge. Want me to call up and sort out the numbskulls with regard your insurance? I could totally do it ~ I’m on a rollllllll!)
I’m so sorry, sweetheart
Oh, baby… Loves.
what awful clean up to be facing… sorry bout your bummer day.
Your daughter sounds like mine. I have a permanent scar on my kitchen table from where I took finger nail polish remover to the nail polish my daughter spilled on it.
Kisses and hugs……I heart you.
ROFL.. My daughter did the same thing when she was about 2, except she got it all over my brand new eggshell carpet.
Red does not come out.
you know, i’ve been gearing up for a cry all day now. i just somehow with one mystery keystroke managed to totally erase what was halfway to being a full-on epic of an email, and that was where the dam broke. one of those days, i guess.
also, evie and billy both have done the nailpolish thing. it never comes off. that’s why i’m not allowed to own firearms, yo.
feel better. smooches.
Oh sweet mama this whole post resonates with me today. I hope things get better, you can get nail polish out but you have to use chemical solvent and I don’t know that it’s worth the trouble.xxoo
misunderstandings suck dont they. it happens to me a lot. but yours cost you money. get on the phone and ream someone, it wont make the nail polish go away, but ill feel better! was i supposed to do the music thing? i never got an official notification. i hope its not a chain letter thing that got broke and now bad luck is in your hour house. ill do a chant or a dance or whatever the medicine man recommends to rid your phone bill and house of unwanted stains. ill bet she was cute painten stuff tho!
((((((((Hugs))))))))

I’m sorry you are having such a rotten day. If I lived closer I would give you a box of these wonderful maraschino cherries in Belgian chocolate I saw today.
Phone companies are such rip off set ups. I’m ex-directory and it costs $5 a month. I didn’t request it, why would I? I have a business I want people to be able to get hold of me. The phone company swear that I must have requested it and they can’t do anything until the year’s contract is up. That was last year. This year’s excuse is …. forget it.
I can so relate today. Not that those kinds of things are lining up for me, but other shit has really gotten me waterlogged lately.
Ch-Ch-Checking on your. Kinda like the Beastie Boys.
Only different.
Oh sweetheart. My head is sooooo up my own arse lately. I am sorry.
:HUGGGGGZ:
damn…the nail polish. Ah…crappy crappy day. I think you’ll have a great weekend though, even if it’s off to a bad start!
Hey, I’ve been thinking about you alot lately for some reason. I guess it was seeing that pic of you & your honey a few weeks back that has your image tattooed in my brain.
i just got myself insurance. i sometimes regret not insuring col when i had the chance. i could have been rich as hell. fate and all.
insurance is a scam
Sorry I haven’t been around, honey. I think of you all the time.
I am sorry that things have been so tough for you. HUGS
seriously get on that phone and bitch them out until they give you your money back. Sometimes you just have to be mean. I’m so sorry you’re dealing with this crap. But you’re a strong and cool mama.
I love you fabulous.
