You know that saying “ when it rains, it pours.” Well last week it was certainly pouring in our for our family. Let me start off with you probably saw my bad day post well form there it got worse.
First our water was turned off. We missed a payment never saw the bill in the mail. Okay it happens our mail person misplaced a lot of mail stuff. So my husband decided to sell two of his instruments and got a $1000 for them together. Okay so we took that and paid the $220 for the water bill it was more like $203 but we told the cashier at the water company when we paid in cash up front to roll into next 3 months bill. From there we took our 3.5 year old to pick up lunch through the chick fa la drive through on the way home because it was 2:00pm and his siblings get out at 2:45pm.
After that we found out that my van need new breaks which was $400 so we told them go head change it because I wouldn’t be able to drive with no safety sticker (could be tickets). The van wasn’t don’t get or was and they didn’t call us. So my husband went to pick up around 5pm. When he went to go in his car he found his tire on his was murder by a plastic cone that got throw up at his car earlier in the afternoon by a Uhale truck we couldn’t dodge it without hitting another car so we hit with one wheel. So he drove it real slowly to the car places left his car pick up mine for me with two of our kids in tow with him. That coast is another $100. That day was terriable.

When my husband gets paid every 2 weeks we our x amount on certain bills so it lowers them by the time they are due. This one we where not getting in our email but in the mail. Our mail person never gave it to use or it was out insome else box. They have been messing up.

@db20747 it’s a pain in the butt. I think my husband went through and has it set to email him. I get the electric and internet bill in my email.
