Debt Dumpers - 2015

Ok this has nothing to do with paying down debt but I need to vent. Ds18 needs just 12% points more on his current average for English to pass for the year. He has an essay due Tuesday and one he's working on now that's past due. Sucks that it's late but at this point even a 50 is better than a 0.
He's been at it since 2pm and keeps getting bogged down in little details. Like he spent almost a freakin hour adjusting the margins because it should be 1" all around but for some reason with Word it keeps making the bottom margin larger once a document is more than 1 page long.
OmG! Just let it go! Get some content on the page and worry about how perfect the margins are later. He says he lost points last time for that. UGH! :crazy2:
So here we are with just 1 week of regular classes before final exams begin and we still don't know if he'll graduate. I was in Kohls (being good, just a return!) and saw all these graduation frames and stuff but I can't bring myself to buy it. I feel like I might jinx it. :sick:
I am so frazzled. Please send some prayers and pixie dust our way. This mommy is getting more gray hairs by the minute.
I'll be sure to send some to Angeejoe and Dentam for your house situations. pixiedust:

Hopefully things keep getting better for all of us. :grouphug:
 
It literally took months. Because we had to buy some things out of pocket, deal with adjuster appointments and forms, arrange for different installers to come it took forever to sort out. We still have the broken sound bar hanging up, lol.

This scares me!!

Patti,

I'm sending you good vibes your way :goodvibes. It sounds like your sons just as stressed as you, the margins are the things he knows he can control. He must be so nervous to possibly let you & himself down. Can he just dictate what he wants to say & you type it? Sometimes the talking can get the words flowing. When is the last day of school?

Thanks for the pixiedust: on the house, I need it, lol.

That's a great idea! I had 2 yrs of typing in HS and still can type pretty fast. lol! I'll try anything! It's an awful feeling that I want to help but can't. This might work!
Last full day is Friday.

My mom did this for me once, she can type like 100+ words a minute, I talked she typed. Then he can go back in later & edit what he needs to. Sometimes you have so much inside to say but you can't get it out fast enough. I'm sure he's just a ball of emotions right now. You're such a good mom for worrying about this, he's lucky to have you Patti!

Well he declined my offer. I did watch him type and he's pretty quick.
 
Well you did your good mom duty & offered!!
I offered "anything he wants" if he gets these papers done and passes English. He knows that means within reason. Not a Mercedes. Lol. Dinner out, video game, etc.
though if he said a trip to wdw I'd be willing.
:)
 
How about I write these papers & you take me to WDW???:tongue:
Now that sounds awesome!
My coworkers cant believe he isnt paying someone to do some for him. He is very honest & such a rule-follower he would rather not graduate than to sit at graduation knowing he cheated.
Sheesh, I think I will be NEEDING a trip to wdw when this is all done to unwind all this stress.

Sounds like you raised him right! :thumbsup2
 
The closing on my house is tomorrow. Doing this all long distance has been stressful and I can't wait until it's done! And of course... now my dog is limping and lethargic so I need to take her to the vet. Sigh.

Yea!!! You must be doing the happy dance on the sale :yay:

Does your dog have a potassium problem? My cat was very lethargic in January & had difficulty lifting his head. He ended up having an infected tooth (he's 13 yrs old) plus had a potassium problem. He now has to take potassium at home.
 
My dog is still a puppy actually so I'm not sure what it could be. It's been pretty hot here and she definitely perks up in the evenings once the sun is down and it's cooled off a bit. Hopefully it'll be an easy fix like a supplement I can add to her diet.

YAY for the closing. I know you're happy to get that finished

Hope your puppy gets better. What breed is she? Have you checked her paws for stickers or rocks stuck between the pads? What are you feeding? Is she getting plenty of access to fresh water?

She's a bernese mtn. dog... She is acting like her spunky self again but doesn't want to eat her food. It's new since I just switched her from a large breed puppy food to an adult food. I'm wondering if the food was the culprit. She loved it before she started feeling badly but now she won't touch it. She never stopped drinking water and never had an upset stomach or anything. I checked her paws and they looked fine. No clue... I plan to get her checked out by the vet anyway. She hasn't been since she was 6 months old so it's time for a checkup anyway.
