Everything that has been going on...

I know that I have been a slacker. So here is an update on the situation I call my life.

First: On May 31, 2008 at 1:16 pm, my husband and daughter were involved in a car accident involving roll-over. Yep, you read that right, the van rolled. They were hit on the driver's side by a 15 year old that only had a permit and no adult in the car and she apparently wasn't wearing her seatbelt, either. It took her mother's insurance an entire week to get me a rental vehicle. We got the check for the balance of the value of the van, hand delivered to us and we signed off on the paperwork. Well, yesterday, I got the bill for the car note. As of the 17th of June, the van still hasn't been paid off. We have already gone out and bought another van, and can't afford to make TWO car payments next month!!! Needless to say, I will be making some calls today regarding that. The first will be to CPS, who has the loan. After I call them to get clarification, I will be calling the insurance adjuster. And he better have the right answers to my questions. I also need to get my prescription sunglasses repaired or replaced, as they were damaged in the wreck. I am also going to ask about replacement for items lost or damaged in the wreck.

Second: My kids were really really really sick. Joey started with a fever, but developed an ear infection and sinus infection. Ariane had a strained back from the wreck and then caught Joey's virus. She subsequently developed a UTI from dehydration. So I have been busy on that front. Both kids are now feeling much better.

Third: My poor husband has not been handling stress very well lately. He seems on the verge of a nervous breakdown. And for those of you that know my husband, you know that he pretty much keeps it together ALL the time.

I am pretty much worried about everything that is going on. I just want to go back in time and not let Joe and Ari go out that morning, and then I would not be in the position I am currently in.

So that is what's going on, well the abbreviated version anyway...
