SPT--Blasted Bank!

I am fortunate enough not to suffer from sleep deprivation, migraines, or any other annoying illnesses. BUT, when the time comes I suffer from a bad case of PMS. I am irritable, annoyed at anything and everything, weepy, etc. On most occasions if I make a conscious effort, I can control it. The bad thing is if anything sets it off such as my experience today, I make mountains out of molehills.

Thank you James!

Today started out with the half glass full. I slept in until 8am, my boys came and cuddled with me until I was forced out of bed by the phone ringing. You would think this was when things started to turn, but no, it was just James confirming his appointment that he would be over in a jiffy to fix my fireplace (another post all together).

Good as new, our very first fireplace

The fireplace was fixed in a matter of 30 minutes, (how I wish it was working last week when the temperatures were nearly freezing outside). But, it now functions properly until the next time we need it. My kids were angels today. My two older boys invited friends over which kept them happily entertained. I even tackled the upstairs cleaning my shutters and dusted. I then proceeded to sit down to pay a few bills. Annoyance #1. I noticed that one of them was sitting on the desk with a due date on the 5th. I sort of panicked because I am NEVER late and avoid late fees like the plague. Anyway, I clicked a few buttons realizing after the click it was coming out of a bank account that we no longer use. AKA NO funds available.

No biggie, I'll call the bank and fix what I just did. Um, the bank was useless and explained that once that is done nothing can be undone unless I want to pay a stop payment fee of 40 bucks. Excuse me?? Let me get this straight a click of a mouse by me can not be fixed by the click of a mouse from the bank even though everything is done electronically? Yet, another reason I think banks are scam artists! They suck every dollar out of you or find ways to ding you on EVERYTHING. Oh, and if that account bounces or goes into over draft that is a separate set of fees. Gimmie a break! Did I mention I accidentally paid that bill twice?

When it was all said and done I was advised to head down to the bank and deposit the amounts I didn't have in the old account. I loaded up the kids (with friends) thinking all would be good, plus I could head over to Sonic for a MUCH needed Diet Coke. I proceeded to pull up to the drive thru-teller not realizing it was extremely tight not to mention super narrow. (I was trying to avoid curbing the tire) in the midst of saving my new tires I managed to not quite turn sharp enough and plowed into a standing pillar of bricks!

I know it's just a car AND it's cosmetic, but it broke me down to tears hearing the crunch as I backed my car up. I went away thinking if only I wouldn't have clicked that stupid mouse today NONE of this would have occurred. Grrr.@#$%^!!..... I'll spare you my second annoyance perhaps for another day. I think that was enough complaining for one day! There is always HOPE for a better day tomorrow right?

Meh!
