A little bit of this...a little bit of that

So...I'm going to use this post to "vent" a little - as I need it!! It's been kind of a frustrating, sad, and eventful week at our household, or at least for me. It all started with me ALMOST getting scammed by a horrible person on Craig's list. We are selling a few items around our house and posted these for the first time. Long story short, some horrible man/person, gave me this "believable" story about wanting to buy the furniture to surprise his wife AND offered me $50 more than what we were asking for...needless to say that I didn't read the section on typical "scams" and fell for this story. I only found out that I was being taken for a schmuck when I was talking about this with my cousin, Lucy (thanks again Lucy for saving me a LOT OF MONEY!!!). You see these people send you a FAKE cashier's check (and accidentally write it for way more than what they were supposed to write it for). When I found out it was a scam I emailed the man a nasty message and told him that if he ever contacts me again, I would call the police. It just makes me so mad that #1 I would be dumb enough to fall for this scam, and #2 that there are such sick people in this world!!!

It's been a really emotional week for me being pregnant. We had a little scare this weekend, but things seem to be okay now. I'm pretty nervous with this pregnancy and am really trying hard to let go of my fear and remind myself that it's in God's hands. I am so blessed to have my two wonderful sons already and feel fortunate that God has chosen me to have another child! Even though I'm feeling a lot better, my emotions have gotten the best of me this week. A few days I have found myself going from hysterically laughing to sobbing uncontrollably. The things that happen to your body and emotions when you are pregnant are just crazy sometime! I am excited for the weeks to come though....feeling the baby move for the first time AND of course, finding out the sex!!! We hope to be able to find out in about 4-6 weeks. Can't believe that I'm already 14 weeks along.

And finally...I am so frustrated with insurance companies! How the individuals working for these companies can be so heartless at times. And how long it takes to try to get one stinkin' bill paid for (which IS covered by your plan!). Some people just make things so difficult. Just think how much time we waste dealing with these people...I can think of many other things which to spend my time!

Well, enough venting for now. I need to try to get some things done today. I hope everyone has had a good week and enjoys the weekend ahead!

Hi Jennifer!
Were you able to figure out what was causing the bleeding? I hope that the rest of your pregnancy is uneventfull!

I know what you mean about the insurance companies. I've had to fight mine SO many times to get them to pay for something that IS covered! I think they hope that people will just give up and not want to fight so they can keep their money. Or, it could be they just enjoy holding onto the money so the can gain interest longer.

I'm sorry you almost got scammed. It sounds like God intervened just in time!
