OKAY people .... The saying "When it Rains - It Pours" ... certainly is meaning something here today. Lord, let me tell you - I just don't know WHAT is going on here, what am I supposed to learn ? My brain has been going non stop trying to think that for a few hours now.
1) The hubby went back to work today, good thing, but we'd also forgotten about an appointment we had scheduled with our Lawyer about the whole house thing .... so in HAVING to go, we are not too sure that the folks he went to work for were too pleased. Anyway - the lawyer basically stated that the only way to salvage any part of the house is to first file bankruptcy then we can move ahead to solving other problems. Ohhh, not that it matters - I mean after the identity theft we'd gone through I have nothing left anyway - so it has been a thought of mine way before this was mentioned.
2) As of this afternoon - we are out of propane. It is what heats our house. Being that I haven't yet been able to pay for the last fill up that we had a little over a month ago at 550 dollars, I just can't make myself go and beg the lady at Tru-Gas for another fill. It is cold, but it hasn't gotten too cold in the house yet. I have some space heaters and the oven on, but I know that won't help too long or heat the whole house. I went through the whole of last winter with no heat at all ... so it is not that I can't do this, it is just that I don't want to. This weekend we are supposed to get -9's and stuff, so I may not be blogging too much. I know some of you don't understand just what identity theft can do - well, this is certainly one part of it. We have no money left in savings and so we live from payday to payday just on what we get. It sucks sure, but that is life. I refuse to use credit or checks ever again so I guess it is the price we have to pay for someone elses fun.
I have been trying really hard to be positive and not be so negative. I hate coming to write in my pages and to have ya'll read it when I am feeling so down, but I must admit that when I get the thoughts out of my head it does help me to not be so frustrated about it. I wish I could be more positve though even tho I know things could be worse. I can do this, I will be strong - this is no big deal and spring will hopefully be here soon. As it says in the bible - "This too shall pass" .....
Well, off for the time being anyway - more laundry to do and other things as well before it gets too cold in here. I will write more when I can.
TAMMIE :o)
I'll be praying for you.
ReplyDeleteFile. It'll get you guys back on some sort of solid ground. It sucks, but you gotta do what ya gotta do sometimes. Believe me, I KNOW.
If I had ANY extra money right now, I'd send some your way to help with the propane, but with Matt's 6 weeks off of work, we've got no extra. But I will pray for you.......
Take care...
I am going to say a prayer for you tonight Tammy...I feel your anguish and I know things seem really bad now...I agree with Windi that it would help you get back on your feet...Keep your chin up and try to stay strong...hugs to you my friend. Dont worry about letting us down this what blogs are for..
ReplyDeleteJust dropping in to offer Hugs! and to let you know your not alone in the tough times. We have yet to recover from last years lay offs..but I know it'll get better! Hang in there!
ReplyDeleteI know first hand that blogging about it kind of helps you sort it all out in your head. Do you have Energy Assistance in your area? You should, it's a federal program. You do not need to be on assistance to qualify for it and you can also be a homeowner for it. Also, have you head of Joe 4 oil? If you already applied and maybe received Energy Assistance there should be a crisis in your area for when that runs out. I learned most of these things going through what I went through recently. I wish I could help but I am juts now climbing on my own feet, I know though that being in the cold is no good for a baby! I hope you get some resolve soon ... especially for the heat!
ReplyDeleteHello Tammie! I am so sorry to hear all your going through right not! Life sure can be unfair!! I totally understand living paycheck to paycheck! We have done that for many many years. I wish there was some way I could help you with your heating. I am new to the propane thing and I can't believe how fast it goes and we haven't even had a full fill yet. Just for 300 gallons it cost $664 here. My tank holds 500. My mom was able to get a fill from the Salvation Army maybe yours there could help you too. I know it's no fun asking for help but sometimes you have to. I have never had my identity taken but I can only imagine it's terrible. On all the credit cards I have and my checking account we have protection. I am just sorry you have to deal with all this! Know that I am praying for you my friend!! I know it's scary wondering where the money is going to come. Thinking of you and praying !Hugs
ReplyDeleteI am so sorry for all the problems you have right now. Identity theft is just so awful~you work so hard & then a thief just wipes it all out. I hope you are able to get some assistance to help with things especially heating your home. Hang in there, better times will come..
