Been Awhile

So it has been awhile, I have been busy.
Im now 25 weeks, and huge. Chubs McGee is measuring 2 wks larger every doctor visit so Im looking forward to little baby chuck, which Zack never had.
When It rains it pours. I think I have done pretty good paying people off with Matt working all these hours so far, Express, Best Buy, Menards, Target (mine), Target ( matthew), Providian ( well half and transferred the rest off the 34% card to a 4%) Continental Diamonds ( who forgot we owed them money), Gary, and Tony. Yikes. But I still have Both Wells Fargo cards, Dodge credit card and Matts Parents. and I havent saved a penny.
I got notice starting June 2nd I have to report for jury duty too. Geez. It states I will be on-call for 4 WEEKS! having to call in the night prior to see if I need to report. Yeah that works good at my new job where there is only 2 of us. So who knows how much I will get to work. I hope 1) I either get dismissed right away due to my pregnancy or for any other reason I dont care just find one. or 2) I get chosen for a case right away so I can be done. They say they last around 1 to 3 days (90%)
Next, I knew our property taxes were increasing 2000%, but I thought if we paid the difference is wouldnt effect our mortgage. Well I was wrong. We just got a statement letting us know that starting July 1 we will owe 1550.00 a month instead of 1387.00 and that is only if we can pay the 1800.00 shortage in our escrow account. If we cant come up with that money by July 1, we will owe over 1700.00 a month! Geez, think of the house I could have with 1700.00 a month mortgage... not this one in the boonies. Now I know why we people are going into foreclosure. Nancy is going to help me apply for the property tax rebate or something. The two requirements are you grossed less than 98,000 and your property taxes increased more than 12%. yeah we meet both of those.
So in addition to the 3000.00 I pay in bills for June I need to find 1800.00 AND Im on Jury duty where I get 20.00 a day. hmmm. sucks to be me.
I think all this is happening because they saw us getting caught up and we had gone to Menards to price out a deck and were going to pay CASH for it and they were like no way..... you have to have debt. So Gary was available to put our deck on the second weekend of June.... not happening. Unless I win the lottery.
Speaking of the lottery, Zack hasnt had an accident in about a month. He pooped in the potty this week at Grandma Barbs and announced to her that those two poops were for her to take him to Disney World, she responded when she wins the lottery. Zackary will now tell you he is going to disney world when Grandma wins.
Another Zack story, its been awhile, we were watching Americas Funniest Home Videos, My favorite last night, when a video came on of a little 2-3 year old girl covered in paint, the camera than fans to the wall and carpet, very nicely fingered painted,
Matt states
"Zack if you ever do that you will be in BIG trouble"
" Oh I will be in big trouble?"
"Ya"
"Whats Big trouble?"
"You would be on time out for a long long long time"
"Oh, (pointing to the wall) Is Grandma Barb in Big trouble then?"
She painted our living room earlier this year..... I just looked at matt and laughed... explain that one.
The Wii remotes have needed batteries for the last two days, I have some, but think its time for a wii break. Every other minute Zack asks when we are getting batteries, this morning he tried it a little different.
"Mommy you can do Everything"
"I can?"
"Ya, you can do bills on the computer, you can go to Walmart and buy batteries for my wii remote so I can play...." ( sly smile grows as the sentence got longer....)
What a stinker.
