I just need to vent. This is the very short verson... sad, but it is.
We are moving Wednesday. Everything that could go wrong in the last two months HAS. Thankfully no one is hurt or sick, at least immediate family. I know things could be A LOT worse but when you are dealing with everything it's hard to believe!
Let's see... a brief run down. We are moving as quick as we can. DH got the offer on May 1, 2006. We made the final decision then, we found a place to live in Florida on May 26th. I managed to transfer my job, a stroke of luck. DH current company owes him $15K. They won't give it to him unless he is with the company the day that the customer pays the invoice. He is in sales. We have been waiting since this deal closed in March. Now the invoices are in, but no one will confirm when he gets the money, only that he is. He finally was forced to give his notice last week b/c the stress of hiding that and trying to wait this invoice crap out was taking a BIG toll. That's a lot of money.... It's been one day he's getting, the next he might not...
DH's car died back in March. We were going to trade it this summer and get a new one anyone. In hindsight, bad decision #1, we bought a new car then. Have been working on DH's to get it running again, it only needs a new tension pulley. Bad news? The bolt for the old one is so tightly on NO ONE short of towing it to the shop can get it off. But it runs. Ok we will take it to car max this week before we leave to get it appraised. They did well by me when I traded my old car last year. This morning it wouldn't start. The alternator wasn't turning over b/c of the lack of belt. Car max wouldn't jump it to look at it running and offered us $250 for it. HUH????? It's worth between $2000-$3500 right now. So mad.... so now what are we going to do? Towing with us to FLorida. That's right we are taking THREE cars with us. How stupid is this??? In the long run it'll be better.. it's 2WD and we will probably be able to get more for it down there and we are out of time to fix it and trade it here. And we refuse to take $250 here. IT's a $300 repair job... Probably a series of bad decisions on our part that lead us here but now we have to deal with it.
Late May my mom paid her American Express bill with my bank account. I went negative $1600 and accrued $380 in fees for that minor mistake.
IT's one thing after another after another. I started refusing to answer the phone when DH would call from work. I just can't deal with it.
I just needed to vent. I feel better now... Thanks!

but I think you need this instead:
BTW, I saw your locations, I'm in Elgin IL, not far from both Barrington and Aurora. Hello from IL!
