I hate my job. For three days we have just been busier then hell. With three of us running registers and each register doing nearly 50 people per hour, that means that during one hour, we have at least 150 people in the store if not more. Which, normally is great, because it makes the time go faster, but, in this case, I have been put with two trainees who don't know jack shit. Well, one of them does, but Aaron is just a freaking moron. I can't even put it into words.
Other news on the homefront. I was all excited because finally the garnishment that has been on my check for months is nearly over. Of course, that was before I found out they froze my bank account. It didn't make sense. All I had to pay on it was about seventeen dollars. Now, all my money is direct deposit into my account, so this means that when my paycheck goes in, I can't touch it. I spent the better part of a day taking care of this and it turns out that the garnishment ended months ago but the company that I work for didn't catch it and just continued to take the money out and it was going to the sherrif's office, who in turn was sending it to the county clerk's office where it was doing nothing. One of those checks was sent back to my employeer so they will send me that money, but the others are just floating around and they won't send me that money until the checks are returned to them. BUT, the main thing is, I got them to lift the freeze on my bank account.
Not that life is any better. I am still short on money. We are waiting for our income tax refund to come in as well as a student loan to help pay for stuff. I hope we can hold out. I am so stressed over money. Over everything.
I am trying very hard not to let it all overwhelm me, but it's hard. We are still battling head lice with my daughter. We stopped treating her hair with chemicals and started using other methods, but nothing is working. We had the apartment people come in and put poisen in for the mice, they threw one box behind the stove. It isn't helping. Last night I couldn't sleep because I could hear the little bastards fighting in a corner of my closet, so at four am I was up tearing everything out of the closet, there was shredded paper all over the corner and under the bookshelf, they've been tearing my old books up. I was furious. I doubt my wonderful husband had a clue as to what was going on when he woke up to find me frantically vacuming out the damn closet.
Ugh. So, here is how the new year is starting for me. I am broke. I have mice living in my house, lice living in my daughter's head, I hate my job, none of the things I wanted to work on are getting worked on, we have no car, no nothing. I am not demanding. I don't need to be rich, don't need a fancy car or an awsome job, but, damnit, I want each of my kids to have their own room, and be able to pay for emergencies as they come up instead of pannicking. I hate it. I just want to be comfortable in life, why is that so hard to accomplish?
It isn't that I'm lazy, or that I expect things to come easily to me. I work my ass off at my job, people comment all the time, but damnit, the harder I work, the farther the things I want get away from me.
R called me into his office, said he wanted to pay me the money I deserve, yadda yadda, said they wanted to see me as a potential G.M, had me fill out a paper. It was a background check, which, was fine, I have no police record, but, seriously, my heart sank when I saw that they also do a credit check. If this position depends on a credit check, fuck it, there is no way I am going to ever move ahead with this company. I mean, my ex has fucked me so badly on credit, I am still trying to convice the husband to file bankruptcy when we get our money. It is the only thing I can see saving us. That way no one can come after my paycheck. By the time he is out of school we won't have to worry about all of our money going to pay back bills that the ex-husband should have paid. We can focus on us, getting a better place to live, maybe even a house.
So, all in all, not feeling real great about this year. I hope it gets better. Untill then, I should get myself to bed so I can function like a human tomorrow.

Nikki,
I was just killing time and stumbled onto your blog.
My company helps people get medicine from Canada to SAVE money.
What med do you take for the Bi-Polar? (med. name, strength, dosage)
Is there a way to contact you privately with a quote?

Another thought:
If not Canada, there is a web site called www.needymeds.com
It's a listing of programs sponsored by drug companies. You type in the medication and it will give you a listing of any program that will provide meds free-of-charge or at reduced rates. The financial requirements are also available so you can figure out if you can benefit.
Good luck, Nikki, and let me know if I can provide any info.

Oh my gosh, thank you Sea Rabbit for your kind words. I will post today or tomorrow and give you my >good< news. L, thank you for taking the time to read and care enough to post your thoughts and helpful suggestions. I am going to go in the next couple of days to the site you suggested and see if it can help. I can be contacted through my email, starlightscorner@hotmail.com. Make sure that you put my blog name in the subject bar or it may just end up in the junk box and I might miss it. Talk to you soon.
About head lice, I've had seven children and I think they've all had lice at one time or another. We used an anti-lice shampoo, it wan't expensive and the soapiness helps to get the stuff right into the hair.
Then you can buy a VERY fine-toothed comb (may be what Searabbit is talking about, with which you can comb out the eggs which get attached to the hairs and cannot be effectively removed any other way.
