Off to a good start this morning... fraud on my credit card! Ugh. $500 on Overstock, $300 something at Kohl's and a declined charge at "discount store" is what the recorded thing said. AWESOME. Haha. I called and they're doing maintenance so I have to call back. At least I don't need my card right now!

So I've been trying to pay for my newspaper subscription for weeks and they can't seem to run my card correctly. It was on file already but for whatever reason, they said it wasn't valid (it is). So they called me and I gave the lady the number again, she ran it, said it was fine. Cool. I noticed the charge never went through though and then this week I got a bill in the mail. I went online and paid it and there is still no pending charge. Now I'm waiting to see if they contact me again. Get it together Washington Post! This shouldn't be this hard.
We went to Home Depot last night and picked out paint and hardware for the kitchen. We also stumbled upon the perfect rug for the dining room. H is going to start working on the kitchen cabinets today so that they're done by the time we move in this weekend. I'm SO excited.

This is so exciting! What is the rug? I swear I've spent more time searching for rugs since we bought this house than just about anything else. I still can't find the perfect one.
Oh no estrellita! at least you caught it quickly. Sorry you have to deal with that annoyance!
I work at 3 today so a little delayed start. It will be so nice to get a few things done or troll the Internet of all the stuff I have to research before my academic enrollment advisor calls me later. I'm battling a tiny cold, it's like my body wants to be sick but I won't let it since I'm fighting it with everything. I so hope this stops really soon. After today my schedule is a mad house with hours, lots of doubles and no sleep. Bring on the caffeine!!

I'm so happy they caught it so fast. The charges were all this morning. I got the text and email pretty much immediately. The charges are off already and a new card on its way!
It snowed today also. We were fine on our way in but in some areas it got super slippery. My friend posted a pic of a semi that took out a traffic light. Crazy! It's the first time it's stuck so everyone forgot how to drive in it. Happens every year!
Well because yesterday's mess up wasn't enough, my car died again. It's probably not worth fixing at this point and I have no idea where we would get the money from to replace it.
I didn't want to be forced into buying a vehicle like this I wanted to replace it in the spring after looking around first. Urg!
Hugs awick14. That happened to me last weekend. We weren't planning on replacing my car until the summer. I ended up leasing a car for a decent price. I felt really rushed and pressured though.

So sorry awick14 Like you need one more thing right now. Prayers that things start looking up for you soon! ((hugs)) friend.
estrellita- glad they caught it early and it's all resolved!
bk1- Yay for feeling better today! I've been feeling like AF was going to start every day since Mon (and no there is zero chance I'm pg). I'm glad it hasn't shown up because yay for a long LP but it's really annoying feeling like it's going to arrive any minute!
katespade- I love the rug and am so excited for you guys! I also love all your ideas you have posted and can't wait to see the updates as you make progress!
I mentioned the other day how I've been sleeping on the couch for like the last month (at first because I needed to sleep upright to get any sleep and not cough all night and now the past 1.5 wks because DH is sick and coughing/clearing his throat all night). Was heading to bed last night and he was kind of questioning my sleeping on the couch and encouraging me to come to bed (also saying, in a joking way, that we're like roommates/can he have some rent money, etc). I still slept on the couch. Twenty minutes go by and he's totally coughing the whole time with the door open...I go to close it and fall asleep no problems. Yeah, totally staying on the couch until he's no longer coughing all night...as it is I'm still only getting 6 hrs of broken sleep.
Heading for a walk once C wakes up! It's beautiful outside today! Will probably try to go to the park sometime this afternoon...if not, we'll go on another walk! I don't have to make dinner tonight so it will be nice to have an extra hour to either play or get some stuff done around the house!
awick14 life has not been kind to you lately I really hope you get a ray of happy sunshine soon!
luv2rn4fun my husband is the same way when he is sick. He takes it so personally when I sleep somewhere else and he can't fathom how he is keeping me up. Team you!
travelbug has your insane schedule turned you into a coffee drinker yet? I hope the week flies by for you and you don't collapse of exhaustion.
I almost have the laundry completely caught up. I have folded and put away 5-6 loads so far today. I got some dusting done earlier as well. I'm just relaxing now but it feels so good to be getting caught up on chores.

We had free 15 min chair massages at work today. It was great for my back but now my neck hurts because of the angle she had to put the chair at to accommodate my stomach. Good thing I am going to the Chiropractor tonight.
amaranth So far no, but I feel this week will push me over the edge lol! With holiday time and Thanksgiving and Black Friday I will be stretched VERY thin. After the first week of December time will slow down a tiny bit, thank goodness! Thanks for asking

Thanx ladies. Sigh... Thankfully we have family members that are helping out which is awesome.
FIL has a spare vehicle that DH can drive and I can drive DHs vehicle for a little while. Hopefully that works out log enough for us to figure lol this out.
