Mistakes in Motherhood

Like I mentioned before BM had more papers to sign. What I did not mention is they had to be served to her by a third party. Well, I guess that third party has been trying to serve her for TWO days and she is not answering the door. He watched her go in, so he knows she was there, but every attempt to serve her has failed as she is hiding from him.

So Bobby and I tried to call her today to tell her who the person is and why he is there, but she is not answering her phone or returning our messages. Time is running out, less than 5 days before the papers need to be turned into the court, and I am starting to panic. Please send prayers that this works itself out soon, before I worry myself into an early grave.

Yesterday I took my van in to get it checked out on various things… check engine light, door lock not engaging, oil leaks like crazy, etc.

So I call them back yesterday and I guess it leaking in MANY places and they estimate it will cost $2500 to repair it. I have a warranty, so the warranty people wanted to send out an inspector to approve or deny the repairs. Well he gets in there and cannot see a thing because its dirty from oil leaks (duh!) so they send it to detail and clean it up and will add a black light agent to the oil and run it and see where its leaking and then have the inspector come out again. So I am without a vehicle for two days now.

Tomorrow I have a meeting with Christopher’s school for his IEP (Individualized Education Plan) for his speech therapy and I NEED my car! They told me they would cover a rental for me until the van is fixed once the repairs are approved so until then I am stranded here. If I have to I will walk to the school tomorrow, but it is such a pain in the ass.

I have to head to the dealership tonight to get my mail key off the ring, I am hoping they will know more by 5pm when I go up there. They have returned my van to me to drive for a few days for the oil to leak out w/ the additive so they can see where it is leaking from. Bobby offered to trade cars for a few days so I can actually get some miles on it, since I put so few miles on the van.

The side of my face is swollen behind my jaw, I think I am coming down with something, I feel tired and achy.

Today has been a crappy day, my next post will explain what else I am irritated about.
