WOW WHAT A DAY!!!!!!!!!!

I have had one heck of a busy one today. Yesterday, while I was driving to Spfld, Rowan's doctor called to schedule his appointment with the radiologist. They scheduled it for 10:00 on Monday morning, the same day and time of our closing! I called the realtor to see if we could reschedule the closing on the house, which she took care of for me. Then the bank called with a few questions about the loan, so I talked to him for a while about what was going on. He gave me a list of things that needed to be done.

SO...today I had a lot on my list.

I called the bank back with LOTS of questions, which I got answers for...some good, some not so good...basically, our interest rate is higher than we hoped, so our payments are also higher........
STRIKE ONE!

I had to go and set up our insurance for the house, which is a bit more than I had planned on....strike TWO.

I called Ameren IP to get our gas and electric switched over on the 30th, and found out that the average monthly bill is more than the selling realtor told me...strike THREE

I went to the water company and filled out the application to also have the water switched over on the 30th.

I went to check the mail, hoping for something from my husband...nothing was there...what strike am I up to??? I did get bills...more medical bills, one that I have already paid! I called the doctor's office, and they said they never received the payment...called the bank, never cleared...ARGH

So, I called Tricare and asked why I am paying a 20% copay with Jamie being deployed. I was literally on the phone with them for about 3 hours, talking to DEERS too. I am beyond frustrated at this point. Even though Jamie IS in Iraq, and IS ACTIVE DUTY until 2013, because we are not "in a prime area", we would have to travel to Louisiana, MO to get full coverage on our medical expenses. I'm pissed!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! WHAT THE HELL!!!!! Is it MY problem that there is no military medical facility nearby? FREAKKKKKKKKKK!!!! I really am pissed.

Then I called the IRS, 28 minutes on HOLD...thanks assholes! I asked them why I have not received our tax refund, and they said, well, you didn't have the correct form for the educational credit, so we mailed it back to you. I said, "I NEVER RECEIVED IT!" Hmmm. they sent it to our GERMANY address on April 9th, AFTER JAMIE LEFT FOR IRAQ!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! Because of their mistake, I had to run to H&R Block and REDO our taxes, and REDO our change of address form.

I am so frustrated today. Can we start lining people up so I can kick some ass? I really need to. I am so concerned with all of the expenses, I could literally just cry...and have been for most of the damn day. So, our house payment will be more, our utilities will be more, and the freakin' Army, once again, will not take care of their people. GO FIGURE

Anyone else wanna piss me off? It seems to be the day to do it, so come on!!! I could go more into detail, but I don't want to...so goodnight

Wednesday, June 25

I didn't get to post yesterday, as Ro and I had a pretty full day. We were up and moving fairly early, and had to go to Spfld to my Uncle's burial. I thought I would do okay, not too emotional...but I proved myself to be very wrong. I did take Rowan with me, because I had nobody to watch Rowan. My sister warned me that the 21 gun salute may scare the kids, so she left hers in the car with Jeff. I, however, did take Rowan to the burial and ceremony. He kept me pretty occupied during most of it, and he did really well. He jumped at the first shot, but stayed composed through the remainder.
I however, did get pretty emotional. I was very sad for my Aunt Toshiko and cousins, Emiko and Ryan. I don't like to see other people hurting, especially when those people mean so much to me. Because it was a military service with military honors, it really got me... I won't go into what it meant to me, because I don't feel like crying anymore tonight...
Afterwards, we all met at my Aunt Kandace's house in Williamsville; we had a nice lunch and a nice time getting to visit with everyone. Jamie and her boys were there, so the three little ones kept us all entertained and moving! LOL
