heres some shitty news

Well, we went out to go to school this morning and the car was gone. Cody went to go start it and came back in telling me that there was no use getting Leane ready cuz there was no car to go anywhere in. GRRRRR!
It seriously makes you wonder what the hell makes people think that they have the right to steal from other people!
So, we don't know what we're going to do now. I can't get Leane to daycare anymore and so it looks like either me or Cody is going to be dropping outta school. We had no savings or anything cuz our funding won't let us. And on top of it, we can't take out a loan for the same reason. We didn't get theft on our car cuz we didn't think that we would really need it since it's such an old car (85 Cutlass Supreme Oldsmobile)...that, and we couldn't afford it.
We called the cops and they said that there's a nill chance of finding it, so don't count on it. If it is found, they told us that it would probably be trashed to shit...and even if it's not, we'd have to replace the steering column (sp?) cuz we wouldn't be able to ever start it again.
Bah! So I guess that after all that wondering about what to do with being a SAHM was solved for me.
Although, Cody is thinking about being the one to drop out...one, his marks are failing, whereas mine are the highest in my classes, and his books were also stollen with the car...thank god I left mine in my locker at school.
So yeah....that's been my day so far.
That, and some stupid ass punks pulled up beside us 3 times this morning while we were walking to the store with Leane and started to scream and throw shit at us.
Nice day, eh?

 

(((hugs))) I hope you get lucky and they find it in good shape! Wish I could do something for you!

 

that is horrible i am so sorry for how bad things are going for you. but look on the bright side no car equals a bit more money for your family to live off of. im sure that you can get along without having a car for a bit. good luck and best of wishes.

 

Oh my goodness I'm so sorry! That's just awful!

{{{Hugs}}}

 

sounds to me like if it comes tothat with school u should be the 1 staying in but thats just my observation.. but that really sucks
but u never know. u might get your car back..or find another dirt cheap

r u absolutely sure it was stolen not towed?
cops r lazy they might not even check that for u & u might not find out for a week & end up with storage charges..so id ask em specificaly if that maybe the case

im guessing a kid in the neighbourhood took it for a spin...& its probly not far away somewhere
check around local lots n stuff anywhre someone might just leave it

 

i hope you're right, soaringeagle.....
I know that it wasn't towed for a fact. it was parked in our stall in our apartment parkinglot, which is private. Oy, this is friggin stressful. We can get by without a car, but not without one of us dropping outta school.

 

do you sell stuff online? If you are the one with better grades, you should be the one to keep up with school. It's an investment really. Could you use your grant $$ to study midwifery? I know Midwives college of Utah takes Canadian applicants.

 

Gloria Lemay has Candian midwifery classes. She is in Vancouver though. I also think Ancient art midwifery school has international enrollment. So does Globalmidwives.org out of Oregon.

 

*hugs*

So sorry, hope it all works out for the best.

 

I'm sorry, dear.

 

oh geez honey! I hope things start to get batter. I on my last nerve with these negative people. I just don't understand why some people have to try to ruin other people's lives. Cops are lazy as fuck, at least here in Philly, so get on their asses and push for more answers. Things will get better. Just keep smiling.

 

Thanks for all the support everyone. it really helps.
It was weird last night...I couldn't sleep at all. I felt like someone was watching me all night through the window. And the worst part is that we live in a basment suite in our apartment building and our bedroom has no curtains yet. I'm also afraid that because we left so much personal info in the car, like bank statments and SIN numbers and even directions to our dayhome in the car....it's scary. I've alerted all the credit agencies in Canada and put an alert on our bank account. But it really freaks a person out. For all I know, they're planning on breaking into our apartment....the screen comes right out, and the window opens. On Monday, I'm going to get apartment insurance. This friggin sucks.
My oma is up visiting right now, and we were able to go out and buy Leane a new car seat and that was my christmas present....THANKGOD! My mom is the one driving us around right now so we needed it for her car. My stepdad is also seeing if he can help us to finance a new car.
Even if our car was recovered, we wouldn't feel safe driving it...who knows what the hell is being done to it at this minute? That thought has been driving me INSANE. I can't stop thinking about it and everything that those guys are doing. Was it someone I knew who had something out for me (I have some bad connections here because of high school), or someone looking for a joy ride, or someone scoping it out for parts.....I'm clueless, and there's nothing I hate more than that!
Oy. Sorry for the rant. I'm just pissed...understandably.

 

Well, I got some more shitty news today.
There's no news about the car yet...highly doubt there will be, but this is about Leane's dayhome.
a week ago, I found Leane a new dayhome in the same town that we live in. The other one that she was going to before was the next town over and was taking a lot of gas to get to.
Well, this new lady was going to start taking care of her on November 1st because the one that we're with now needed her 2 weeks notice. That was no problem before.
But now, we can't drive out to drop Leane off at the one in Spruce Grove (the other town) because we have no way to get there. So I called the dayhome she's at now and told the lady what happened and that I can't being Leane there anymore. Well, in her true fashion, she said, "well, I don't care if you bring her here or not. I want my money for my 2 weeks notice." I was like, "look, we can't get into town and I need to go to school...if I miss more than 4 days, I'm withdrawn. I need to start using the dayhome in the town we live in." She said, "well, that's your problem, not mine. I want my money."
I'm going to fight this...she's fucking lazy as hell and makes sure that we pick Leane up every day early. She takes mondays off and refuses to watch her every second friday. On top of it, she had my mom sign a attendance card the other day that said that she had been watching Leane from 8-5 every day!!!!!!!!!!
I also found out that she's been giving leane medicine without my consent and actually phoned the college the other day and yelled at the receptionist because I didn't pack my tylenol. I was like, "what the hell!?" She didn't even need it! This woman actually bitched to me the other day that Leane doesn't sleep enough and she can't watch her soap operas!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
I am super pissed!!!!!!!!!
The dayhome is through an agency here and all the homes are registered through them. I'm also subsidized through the government, so the agency is the one who handles the paychecks.
I'm really hoping that there's a way that I can report this bitch!
My mom said that she may be able to drive Leane there until the 1st, but now I don't WANT to bring her there!

 

Eek! No, don't take her back, and tell that bitch she isn't getting her two weeks' pay because she chose not to care for your precious child in the way she was agreed to. Dosing babies on meds they don't need is child abuse, and you're prepared to report it if she dares make an issue of the money. And then report it anyway.

i'm sorry about the car, but sometimes we just have to let go of things; if you let it bother you, then the little bastards got your car, your stuff AND your pride, you know? Every moment you're miserable, you're being victimized again. Hang in there, life tends to get better eventually

 

Maybe your car getting stolen was the universe's tricky way of letting you know your baby had a less than caring day care provider and you needed to give her the boot.

 

perhaps ^^

Good news: I found Leane a new day home NEXT DOOR!!!!!! And she's best friends with the educational assistant at the college! So, Leane is starting there tomorrow morning, and we're going to be waking to school from now on, which is a little over a km walk. Nice way to loose the baby weight I haven't been able to get rid of. The only thing I hate is walking in -40 C with a ton of books.
And yeah, as for the twit she was with, she's not getting her 2 weeks now! We made a big stink about her and eveything that she's been doing and now she's gotten the boot and is being investigated!!!
As for the car...I was reading the paper this morning, and there's been other cutlasses just like our car stolen. So I'm thinkin this was a planned thing.
All in all, things are getting better now. It was shitty, but I think that I'm going through all those stages of greif....and I'm finally at acceptance. Feels good.

 

Oh--how wonderful that you have a new dayhome so close!! Things are definitely starting to look up for you. See--things happen for a reason, and I'm sure Leane will be so much happier in a better place all day.

 

I'm so happy that things are looking up for you guys! And a km walk there and back sounds like a fine idea - good way to force that exercise on yourself! (Maybe I need to get MY car stolen... ) Hope things keep on improving!
