Xmas holidays and everything goes wrong

[twisted_screams]

I think the Christmas holiday was set up so that at the end of year you can go crazy.
I had one of those days today that i just shouldn't have answered the phone got out of bed etc
First thing that happened was my cable got cut off , why? Because my ex husband had cable service with Direct Tv about 7 years ago and my name was on the bill and he never paid it. So because i honestly forgot about it its like 300 bucks i signed with direct tv ( in another state) Now because of this old bill til its paid they are discontinuing my service ( which is paid in full every month)
Second thing i wake up to an email from my land lord saying the housing inspector is coming on Monday, he had our electrical box replaced about 4 months ago and the maintenance man he has said that the electrician he got was certified guess what apparently he wasn't didn't pull the permit and now my land lord is gripping at me. I just let him have it today and basically said i had nothing to do with it talk to Terry the maintenance man ( which supposedly is out of pocket for a week due to a death in the family)
Then i get the mail and my future husbands insurance was canceled as of Dec 1 today is the 15th hello. That turned out to be a computer mistake and he has to sign a paper later today and we will be fine.

Is it just me or does everything seem to go wrong this time of year. I know it seems like the bill collectors go stupid with suddenly calling and it just seems to me that people just want to drive me nuts.

Was curious if the same stuff happens to you All of if i am just a glutton for punishment?

Nope, have no idea what your talking bout. Of course, I don't really pay any attention to what people tell me anyways, so there could be a shit load of things going bad right now, but then again, I don't care.

Thanks for replying who. I am still trying to figure out if you are kidding with me or not but hey its all good :p I'll just keep doing what i am doing and if happens to pest the hell out of ya the more the better (giggles):D

It's definitely stressful. Something that's supposed to be from the heart has become an obligation. Christmas is supposed to be about giving, not receiving.

Things seem to be going better today in between posting i am baking cookies for Xmas and just got done makeing 5 dozen buck eyes. I may end up taking a nap for an hour and letting the kids take turns with cookies til i am up.
I didnt sleep to much last night and i got early this morning to fix the bosses lunch and do wash and stuff. I don't work til tomorrow night which is cool because we have to spend most of the afternoon at his sisters tomorrow. I cant wait for next week to be over so i can relax a little bit

.....It appears to be, "Murphys Law" is in effect.

Yea,
I agree on the whole idea that when the holidays start coming around the corner, bad stuff happens. Though maybe i just feel that way this year because of all the bullshit happening to me.
i broke my tibia in two places with a three inch piece of bone completely displaced and dislocated my ankle in oct. had surgery blah blah. didn't have health insurance...i was in a 6mo probabtion period at my new job. two months from insurance! dammit. and i lost my job when i broke my leg.
so i find out two days before my birthday (which was yesterday) that medical assitance won't pay for my surgery and hospital stay of five days because I made too much money in oct. and nov. (over 250$ is 'too much') which i think is freakin' bullshit myself.
basically i am in thousands of debt i have this damn cast on that i paid 320$ for and i don't have the money for my next apt. because i have no income now.

yea. had a small get together of people lasst night for my birthday and they broke a family hierloom, three glasses, puked on a drawing i did of a geisha girl which was going to be given as a present, a neighbor called the cops, and someone spilled cranberry juice on my only bday present which was a book, and is now deformed.

my gmother had a stroke
my dad is sick and threw out his back yesterday...

the list goes on and on and on. it never ends.
blah. i feel your pain tho.

I do believe I read somewhere the elderly usually wait till after the holidays to kick the bucket....something about how they don't wanna make anyone feel bad during the holidays, then after they pass, they just let themselves go.

It's true. My grandma died just after Christmas and my mom died just after Mother's day.

here is a nice little christmas song:
"and the story goes like this: everything went numb for the money and the guns / and everytime he’d think it out: “there’s nothing to worry about / get in the van, don’t deviate from the plan / if everything goes smooth then you’ll walk away a rich man” / so it begins, everybody walks in / could this be the day or the way that the underdog wins? / i think not, so i bet on the feds because the black hat men never win in the end /// ski mask [check] sawed off [check] guilty conscience, fear of death [check check check] / everything went numb when he stumbled upon what he thought was going to be another means to the end / the silence / the sirens / it all went down like his nightmare the night before / i don’t want to hear / i don’t want to be near / i do what i got to do just to keep my nose clean /// the story doesn’t end here / don’t fear for our hero ain’t near the end / my friend / lets take it back to how it all began: with a proposition / and proposition starts with a capital p / “or at least for me” is what he said to himself / but himself ain’t a lot when he’s got nothing left / of what was once a man, loved and loving / he took that trip that turns something to nothing / right and wrong / there’s not a lot a difference when you’re singing that poor man’s song / and that song it goes just a little like this..."
