We are still young and we have a lot of issues credit wise. So 2 years ago, we went with the "only" company that would finance us and for the past 2 years it has been a nightmare. The latest was that this particular company withdrew a large amount of money from our account that they had on file without authorization and so we sought out legal advice. The person we retained gave us advice, we took it and the end result was that our van was repossed for a mere 257.87 balance. Now, this could have been paid and been over with, but like I said above, we took legal advice and our lawyer told us to ignore calls and refer everything to him. We did that and here we are today with no car and now we have to come up with money that is almost triple the amount to pay off our account and get our van back. We are still working with this attorney and I hope to have better news tomorrow but as it stands, we have no way to get our only vehicle back. Its a really helpless situation to be in. Justin and I feel frustrated and above all angry because we feel like this could have been avoided. Well, "adult" lesson of the day is go with your instincts. We should have just paid the amount, been done and then proceeded with legal recourse later.
But through the struggle our amazing family still helped out. My amazing brother and sister in law lent us a vehicle that they had so we would have something for Justin to get to work with and they didnt have to do that, but they did without question and for that, I will FOREVER be grateful!
Ben got to spend some time with Grandma and Grandad Davies tonight, and thats another thing I am grateful for because it was a stressful day and he did not need to be a part of that. He is spending the night and even though all day I have missed his little voice, its been a relief to be able to have him away and having fun and oblivious to the stress Mommy and Daddy are putting out.
Bella is still not feeling well. Her fever came back this afternoon and broke again this evening and man those gums are bothering her. Her little hands are in her mouth constantly and she is just whining away like as if telling her teeth "can you just break through already?!?" but you know what is amazing? Even though she is not feeling well, is in pain and has a diaper rash from hell because of her poor tummy being so upset, she has been smiling and talking all day to me as if she knew her Mommy needed spirit lifting. She just looks at me with this stare like she understands and gives me this beautiful, drooly smile that just melts my heart every time! So thank you Princess for being your Mommy's sunlight on a pretty cloudy day. You amaze me!!!
I know that things get rough, and I know everyone goes through times like this when they feel like just giving up. But you know what? I am thankful that we have healthy beautiful children who love to play and smile and they just amaze me at how much HAPPINESS they put out! Really, I am so very lucky that these two amazing kids hold my heart because they are the reason that I know we will make it through like we always do!!
This photo was not taken today, but a few weeks back, but it just shows Bella's little smile that just makes your day :)
All my love...
Adri
