Is it only Tuesday? (vent inside)
this week is turning to cr@p. First thing Sunday morning, I am getting DD out of the tub and my iphone fell out of my pocket- arching right into the water when it could have just as easily fallen onto the bath mat and been perfectly fine. No warranty. Not working. $549 to replace.
Last year, we spent so much money on medical bills that we can actually take the medical deduction. During open enrollment, DH and I talked about upping our contribution to our FSA because we were going to have similar expenses this year. Not my expenses, but I am willing to take one for the team and split the amount. Somehow, he got the message confused and only put $500 in his FSA while I put $3500. What? These are his expenses NOT MINE. I am healthy. I don't have any ongoing health issues. And, guess what- we have already spent over $900 this month in medical bills!!!!
Plus, I started working on our taxes and I think we are going to owe. Ugh.
The mirror that I broke off my car while pulling out of our garage in the morning a few months ago- now has to be replaced again because someone in my garage at work took it off. $250 last month, $250 again.
Anyone else have things to complain about?

I spent hours trying to get a copy of my receipt for my breast pump for my last year FSA. I finally got it.
Then I realized that due to my own error during maternity leave, my FSA didn't kick in until 3/1, and I bought my breast pump on 2/1. I didn't run out to buy tons of stuff on December 31 as I usually do because the breast pump was going to be $240.
So now I've lost $240.
I am chalking it up to mommy brain and calling it a day. I refuse to beat myself up over it.
Bad things happen in threes - so maybe you're done for a while?
But I agree - this week is going by suuuuuuper slow.
We make the rockin' world go 'round.
On my way home from CA, I tried to get cash out and entered the wrong PIN (it was 5am). They deactivated my card, and I had to use my AmEx the rest of the time. When I got back here, they fixed my card and gave me a new PIN. The next day, I tried to make a deposit at the ATM and accidentally used the old PIN, and they deactivated my card AGAIN. I got it reactivated AGAIN, only to try to use it today and get an error message. I went to the bank and they said it was reported as lost. By WHOM? Not me! WTF. So now I have to get a new card and it's going to take TWO WEEKS to get here.
Oh AND, I lost my keys on the way to the airport. Like, somewhere within 20 feet of our car. At the same time, FIL broke off our building key in the lock, so DH and I both are without keys to get into our building. Do you know how big of a PITA it is to wait for someone to walk out (or try to buzz in through DH's cell phone)? Especially when I'm trying to herd DS after daycare pick up? And try to maneuver the car when the stupid regular car key only works on the driver's door? GAH!
I can't find my headphones, which sucks because they're expensive noise-canceling in-ear Bose ones and now I have to use the stupid $20 over-the-head ones at the gym.
It feels good to get that off my chest.

I have had the child from hell this past week. I haven't been this completely exasperated and near losing it since he was a newborn.
I lost a filling on Sunday night but evidently my dentist is not concerned. The first appointment I could make was for this afternoon and since I was overdue for a cleaning they had me come in for that. They are not terribly concerned about the giant hole in my tooth and scheduled me to have it fixed in FOUR WEEKS (WTMotherEffingF??). Oh, and I need a crown replaced at the same time. That will be $600, please.
I have been ravenously hungry the past few days which has led to gorging myself which has led to tight pants and no working out. I am so disgusted with myself.
Pretty sure there's a grace period until March 31st. Stock up now! (although remember that a lot of OTC things are no longer covered)
I haven't been at my main work site in a week. There is so much crap all over my desk and work space that I need to do it is ridiculous. I am not generally a work anxious person but this is making my chest feel tight.
I need my kids to feel better by this weekend since we are going to my sister's and her 1yo had RSV last year so she is a little crazy about him not getting sick again.
For above mentioned one year old's party I need to decorate a bunch of cookies, cut out some fondant decor for cake and make the smash cake. I need to get my butt in gear but I am sick too so all I want to do is nothing
Nope, not my plan. We fully expire on 12/31. It sucks.
