Stressing Times call for stressing measures!

March 22, 2007

Its been a very stressful time here at home. With all the hassles of the sucky Road Runner and their lack of email space, gmail having its issues, not receiving emails with any attachments so I closed them. What is the point to having it as a secondary email address if it isn’t going to work. Dad’s mouth is somewhat better, well its as good as it will get until something can be done. I am waiting to hear back from the county on that one. Now his car! Its not a crime when it has over 201,000 miles on it. But now no power steering, the fluid just runs right back out so he is driving his car with no power steering which is not good for his wrists with his rheumatoid arthritis. He went to a couple of dealers and the one wants a co signer. Well you know what I feel as if I am backed into a corner and have no choice because he is my dad and I have to live with him here in my home and if he has no running car he is gonna be miserable, grouchy and unmanageable. He is like a teenager who just got their license and has to be on the go go go all the time. I can’t even afford a car of my own and now may have to co-sign for him. If something God forbid happens, I have to take the payments over as that would mean I am guarenteeing the loan. Now my hubby is upset because we agreed we would not co sign for our kids. Well what if it was his mom in the same boat are you telling me he tell her no? No way I don’t believe that for one second because when it comes to his side of the family we drop when they say boo, so I dunno about that. As it is, if something happen to my dad and he passed on there isn’t any funds for his burial/funeral.

So there is a few other places I want him to try before we have to reach the co signing phase..if we have to do this phase then I have decided, against what ever hubby and others feel, to get a second job, either taking on more kids to watch or working nights and weekends so money can be put away for future things that come up. Hubby not happy with this either but I am but one person and can only do so much.

So its just been a trying week and you have to forgive me for not coming to the blog and updating more often.

Aww hun.. I’m sorry you’re having a rough week. We went thru a similar situation with our van.. but then out of no where we found a used dealership and a good deal on a great van. I pray that you will stumble across a similar find.
