Stupid.. Stupid bills

So today pretty much started out like any other day.  I got up early to go running and of course, guess who didn’t run. Me!! yep you guessed.  I’ve been trying really hard to get back into the feel of things, but it’s really hard.  It’s funny because every since I really started trying my best to eat well it has actually been a lot hard financally.  I mean Ryan, my husband started doing the weight watchers with me a few weeks ago only to find out that you definately have to go the grocery store and stock up on stuff.  Hello if you don’t you can eat anything, but your “points” won’t allow just anything.  The whole point of the points is to learn to eat properly.  You do that by getting an alloted amount of points that weight watchers gives you and then you try and make sure you eat all the points without gong over. So for example the lower things in points you eat the more food you can eat and still maintain points for a special snack or something later.

It helped me lose a bunch of weight, but it still costs money unfortunately. I mean eating healthy is expensive otherwise poor people wouldn’t be dying of starvation and malnutrient right?  Eeeww!! Of of the somber issue.

Anyhow work was work, my husband still hasn’t found a job and in the decline he’s lucky to be finding anything at all.  He did find something just to be able to help a bit with the bills but he doesn’t get paid till next Friday. Arghhhhhhhhhhh!!! Money money money.

Anyhow the reason for my irritation is because it was about 4:00pm today and Ry calls me to tell me he just walked into the house and the electricity is off.  I was like how is that I just paid the darn bill ya know. Well apparently miss anal who takes care of all the bills didn’t remember to put them all togethe or must of missed one. There was a balance due before Oct. 10th or the electricity would be shut off, but I totally thought it was due on the 29th.  Long story short we have no electricity till tomorrow.  No one cared that we had kids.  We pretty much got a big S.O.L. So the worst part of that situation is this.

Tonight is soccer practice for both my 9 year old and 5 year old sons. Ry coaches Zach’s team (he’s the 5 year old) and he still had to go pay the dumb electricity, call back and make sure that she got the information, pick up the boys(at different schools mind you), go home get dressed for practice, come home (in the dark) and do homework with my oldest who decided he was going to hang out at school and not do one ounce of his homework, and find something to eat.  ALL IN THE FLIPPING DARK!!!!!!

Okay now I’m all right. It just upsets me cause I am never late on my bills and with my husband not having a job it puts a bit of a kink on things. Ya know. But I can handle it. M son will be turning 9 in 3 weeks and money just stinks. Why do there have to be so many darn bills?  Why can’t eveything be simple?  Why can’t the dumb electric company cut me a break seeing as how I have never not once been late?  But things don’t work that way. Unfortunately.

Well I better go before I get stuck on another tangent–Tristin’s school, or homework.

Till next time,
