When life comes at you full speed there's Master Card.

Now that you may think this is a commercial for Master Card it is not. It is a discussion regarding what life brings you when you are not expecting it. I got involved in a business adventure and I borrowed 9K to do this. It is not a selling business and I may not see any profits from it for a year. I may have to put up to 5K more in the business. The long turn profits may outlast me and be passed on to my children if this thing goes. I cannot discuss it yet until it is off the ground. Once it is off the ground I will be shouting it from the roof tops what it is. Now that I did that, last Friday my husband's 2000 GMC Sierra pick-up took him to work and left him there. If it was not for the kindness of a co-worker I would have been calling someone to come and pick him in a town 45 miles from home. Saturday my husband, a friend and I went back to his pick-up to see if he could get his truck running. Alas no it was deader than a doornail. We had to have it towed back to our town. Do you guys want to know what it cost us to have it towed home to out local dealer ship to have it fixed? Oh come on give a guess, yes it was a lot in my standards. It cost us $200 dollars on the credit card. Oh well we can afford it right? NOT but we can make payments on that. Maybe it is something simple to fix the truck. I get a call at noon today on my cell phone. Now I do not know why my husband told them to call me I do not drive, I do not take care of the cars. The dealership called started to tell me what all was wrong with the truck. I did not even listen to him all the way I cut the guy off and told him I would have my husband call him. I called my hubby and let him deal with it. I then went to what I had to do today. We are having the celebration of Granny's life on November 11 @ 2pm. My sisters and their families will be here. There will be 7 other people here so you know how busy I will be this week. My older sister will be here early AM on the 8th. I have my helper coming Thursday and Friday the 6th and 7th to help me totally clean my house from top to bottom. I get a phone call from my twin and she is coming the night of the 6th. OH CRAP! why so early. I will not tell her no. I just was not expecting company that early. Oh well I will have to be prepared a day early. Now my plan is to get the guest bedroom ready this evening and the formal living room done tonight. I sat down for a minute to rest and the phone rang. OH good who is calling me. MOM. I had to deal with her crap that is another long story I will tell you later when I have time and energy. Then the phone rang again and it is the dealership regarding my hubby's truck it is ready. I asked how much it cost to fix it. It needed a new fuel pump, and a whole list of things. $1010.00 and that is after the 10% discount. I took a deep breath in and chocked. The guy on the phone asked me "I am so sorry for shocking you, do I need to call 911?" I am OK I just am shocked all to heck. My husband did not call me and let me know what it will cost to fix his truck. Now that is not the end of my story. I was getting something out from under the kitchen sink and you guessed it there is water sitting under the sick. I have a leak somewhere. I have not used the sink much today so I do not know where it is coming from. It is not from where the water is coming in so it must be from where the water is draining out either from the dishwasher or sink. I cleaned out the cabinet and dried everything. I also have a sink of dirty dishes because I did not do dishes last night. I needed to to sit down and tell someone what a crappy day I am having. What do you guys do when life comes at you fast? How do you cope with all of this. I am on the verge of tears because of the death of my dearest Granny. I know it has been almost two months ago but I do miss her and loved her so much. I now have all of this on top of me and feel like sitting in a corner and crying but I do not have time. I hope your day is better than mine.
