Ivy Tied Up |

Its raining!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! WOO HOOOOOOO we so needed rain! badly.. Doubt it will be enough to lift the burn bans but we still need rain.. the creek is way low and the river too!

Its been a LONG day.. I took my hubby to work today so I could get some things done.. Well the computers were down where I needed to pay my electric bill.. So that has to be done first thing in the morning. Thankfully entergy knows the computers were down and will give me another day to get it paid.. The bank was closed so that just ruined my plans for the day. I had to go to the grocery store but when I went to leave my inlaws called and demanded I take the truck up to have the front end checked. My fil said he saw a tie rod (I think thats it) loose.. I was ticked because I had to take 3 kids and sit in a shop while they pitched a fit and wiat on them to check the damn front end.. But what really ticked me off.. Was that I had all day to do this. They KNEW the truck was here that dh didnt have it.. And yet they wait until I get ready to go grocery shopping. And I had to pick up dh at a certain time. Well after waiting at the shop for 2 1/2 hours I didnt have time to go grocery shopping I had to go straight to pick up dh..

Know whats funny about the whole truck issue.. There wasnt a thing wrong with it.. NOTHING. They checked everything and nothing was wrong with it.. So I call my MIL and tell her what the guys said. She says.. Okay i’ll call FIL and tell him. I asked her what was s uppose to be wrong with it. She said my FIL climbed UNDER the truck and started pulling on st uff and shaking it and decided some things were loose.. UM OKAY CAN WE SAY DUMBASS!!! First.. I know more about cars than my FIL, MIL, And DH put together! You dont climb under car and start jerking on things and shaking them if you dont know what you are jerking on or shaking. So the only thing wrong with the truck was the dumbass shaking it..

About my electric bill.. There are several things I should tell you about it.. First.. The total is $909.00.. $500.00 is what i have to pay today (its gonna be tom though).. The reason its so high. Is that because of Hurricane Rita hitting I was unable to pay my bill. Then I didnt get the bill for October due to mail and all that junk and all the debris and then I couldnt pay it. Anyhow. Since Rita hit. I havent been receiving my electric bills AT ALL! I have to call them verify the amount and when its due. Well this has become a problem. Because I tend to forget things. But i know i dont want my lights cut off so I’ve been trying to keep up with it. Anyway i’m rambling now.

When I spoke to them In November (at the end of) They set me up on a payment plan to pay off the payments due from around the hurricane. They said it was something they were doing for all those affected by the hurricane who was out of work and co uldnt pay their bills.. (my husband didnt go back to work until December).Anyhow what they did was they would break up the total amount owed over 3 months. They’d tack it onto my next 3 bills. Well I never got a bill for December. They told me to go pay 200$ and I did.. Well now my bill is 909$. 500 is the past due amount. 200 is for the current amount due and 200 is for partial during the hurricane. Now this is my first REAL bill since the hurricane hit. thats why its so high because of hte past due amount. Well no sane person who lives pay check to paycheck can afford 900$. But I do have to pay the 500 because tis the past due amount today (err tom).
I have until Feb 2 to pay the other 400$. Which is good because i’ll have it paid when Dh gets paid again. Feb will be high too. but NOT this high.. So after that I should be good to go. And be back to normal. whatever that is. But they still can’t explain to me WHY I’m not getting my electric bills. They have the right address. They swear that they mailed them. YET I am not getting anything. The good thing is that Since the hurricane.. I havent received one disconnect notice.. They are really trying to work with you on that. Which I think is great. The hurricane put us in a really bad position financially.. We are digging out slowly..

So if any of that made sense thats why my bill is so high..

Tell me.. Whats the highest bill you’ve ever had (For anything, credit card, utility, car note, ect)?
