Bills and money

I really hate not having bills evenly spaced out. It SUCKS. It would be great if they were not almost all due at the beginning of the month. I screwed up alittle and stretched ourselves thin this week. Why, because even though next week we we have lots of money, all the bills are due before 12/5. We have about 1070 in bills due before 12/5, and we only have 1000 in the checking account. Luckily we have some in savings. I will just pay back savings next week. I know this isnt as bad some people out there. I am basically complaining that we dont have any fun money this week. I really wanted to go and spend about $50 at meijers on food stuff. Plus wanting to go to a movie on sat.

Well, the contractor has FLAKED. Or more likely skipped out. I sure know how to pick them.His home # is no longer in service, but it is still listed. I am hoping it is just having trouble. I need to figure out how to get our money back. I am seriously considering sueing. Of course I have no fucking idea how to go about that. I feel like such a doofus for being so trusting. The materials he brought over and left outside are mostly ruined now because of the rain. If I do ever get ahold of him and he does actually come thru, I am not paying for more drywall. That will be coming out of his pocket.

I complain about money, but then I buy lottery tickets. AT least this time I won. I spent $5 and got a winner for $10, so came out $5 in the black. I basically over time break about even with lottery tickets. I do it for alittle fun.

Now I have to head out and deal with cat litter, and trash and recycling. What fun. Then it will be time for Enterprise and Special Unit 2. :)

You might try calling the Better Business Bureau and asking them what to do. They might be able to help, even. They can probably point you in the direction of what action to take, anyway.
