Still nothing about the house.
I will continue to resonate my loathing of Wells Fargo bank. They are not people you want to do business with - if you DO have business with them, it's only a matter of time before they do something to pull the proverbial wool over you eyes and push you down a flight of stairs. Ya, I'm serious.
Mind you, this isn't even OUR bank or OUR mortgage that were being fought on - it's the sellers. The bank continues to play games. Remember the whole "respond to our offer in 48 hours or we will close the case?" and Brian and I responded within 24 of those 48 hours, only to find that somebody had already closed the case? The sellers/sellers agent were furious, trying to get the bank to reopen the case. Case has been reopened, but apparently the bank is required by law to counter offer AGAIN, to which they are asking 20k more than what was last agreed upon in the previous case (the one they "closed" 2 hours into our 48 hour deadline). We said "no" and came at them with our last offer, but have no idea if they accepted or rejected it, because THEY get 4-5 days to review our response and to get back to us. Hypocrites, the lot of them...
You may tell me all banks are this way. I will politely remind you that this is NOT the first time I have head butted with Wells Fargo, and after complaining to half of my friends about the bank, have come to find that I am not the only one singing the woes of WF.
That's all I'm going to say about that. Crooks and players, the lot of them.
In other news, I have been working out, and am feeling good. I've lost a few pounds, and have more energy. I've also purchased jeans in a non "plus" size, and can wear them. Exciting! I was so tired of wearing maternity clothing when I am no longer pregnant, but need transition clothing, because I am not down to "pre-pregnancies" (plural - I had one baby right after another - no time in between to drop the weight). I still have further to go, but am on my way.
I am still fasting from sugar, and still waiting for a breakthrough for myself and my family. Still, I found that in fasting, I wasn't really delving into scripture like I need to, as that is half of what fasting entails (hey, you know how it is - you have kids - not even kids, BABIES, and a household to run, time gets away from you....). Still, God knows my heart and what time I have to give, so I need to make sure I give it - Even if it is one hour one day, 30 minutes another day, etcetc...
Finances are always an issue. Brian and I want to be debt free. By debt free, I mean these school loans need to be gone, and we need to be mortgage free (another reason we are no longer singing the praises of this house).
How did debt even become the norm in society anyway? Thank God our cars are paid for, we have money in the bank, jobs to return to day after day, and great insurance.
Speaking of insurance, anesthesiology charged our insurance company $700 for that hack job they did on my back (you know, the epidural that didn't work resulting in a spinal headache forcing me to have to lay flat instead of enjoying the first 24 hours of being with my son, and then having to have ANOTHER "epidural" blood patch done, risking my health just so that I can stand up without having the feeling that tent spikes are being hammered into my skull or having the feeling that I'm about to fall over). I mean, I know they have to charge, because technically they did these procedures which cost that money...but it stinks that somebody has to pay for the incompetence of some cavalier anesthesiologist (he was cavalier, and did not change technique until I asked him what he needed me to do to make it easier for him. Even then, he missed his mark.) I'm telling you pregnant mommies out there - it may be worth it to cast off the fear of pain and live with it. It hurts like hell (giving birth), and may even be the most intense pain you have ever had in your life, but it lasts AT MOST a matter of hours. Stay focused - treat labor as a job. You are there to have a baby - that is the task at hand, that is your job. Focus on breathing and what you need to do to get that little one out faster, because if you focus on that pain, you'll lose it. If you get an epidural, you are adding risk, and risk you probably don't need. I hope I can be strong and hold out next time.
Wow...talk about a rabbit trail....haha :)
