Irritable Bowel Syndrome Message Boards | I need a BIG HUG....what an unlucky week!

This week has been one of those rediculous weeks I'm prone to having...

I am turning 30 on the 19th, and feel old!

I am being audited for my MAT LEAVE that I accidentally filed 2 weeks wrongly. I owe the government $550.00. I guess they can just take my income tax money, but now I'm convinced I will owe just so the world can stick it to me twice.

We're all sick. Everyone I know out here has a cold from he!!. It's a very congested coughing one that lasts forever....

I need sub jobs desperately because there's a ton of unworkable days in this month, and I get paid daily. Things are tight and I need to work every possible day.

Of course,I was too sick to take a full day on Monday.
Tuesday I COULDN'T take a job, because Trevor needed me to take Kay to school in the morning, and his mom was not answering her phone to babysit. She was at the doctor's- sick. She finally called back and said she'd have been happy to take k nonetheless. Being a sub SUCKS because hey, I'm JUST A SUB, I'm dispensable.

Wed was a good day, till Dh told me they're taking an extra $800 out of his bonus this month. This was not HIS mistake, his boss went way over budget..

We rely on it to have any sort of extras.

This totally affects my birthday. We are going to Banff for 3 days alone, and staying in a 5 star resort hotel-this is a luxury we cannot afford, but it's my anniversary present from the summer. My 30th birthday present WAS going to be a surprise day at their spa, and a skidoo tour through the mountains in BC. It was all cancelled so that we don't choke to death on our bills.We're still going to Banff, but will just sit there for three days.I will utterly appreciate this, believe me I will...but still. We never get to do stuff like this, so it'd have been the most amazing thing he'd ever done for me.

I'm currently making LESS THAN HALF of what I made as a full time teacher, there are no jobs, I get no respect and that's when this money crap decides to rear its ugly head? We were stretched thin to begin with. I am so mad at the world for this.

Yesterday at Teacher's Convention, we went out for lunch, had to walk to 4 restaurants before we found one that had space, then a waiter spilled salsa all over my friend's wool coat and we had to get it drycleaned. Walked about 4 hours straight yesterday,on this wild goose chase... and I had no coat. Why bring one if I was indoors all day, right? I had asthma attacks all day, and it was very windy.

Today, teachers convention. I locked MY car keys in my friend's husband's car. Of course, at HIS work, all the way across town. ( population 1 million.)
He had to bring the keys to me! DUH!

Oh yeah, and my sister's MIL is in ICU with a tube down her throat because she has this cold and it turned into pneumonia. AUGH!! She might die. Once again. because of a cold. So they're just in a mental state right now. My sister and I are BEST friends.....it's so hard to see them go through this.

What did I do so darn evil that sent all this bad luck? If someone could enlighten me, that'd be great. Oddly enough, i've been reading about how to bring good fortune to yourself through prayer and a closer connection with God. So far, He's not listening.

By the way, I WISH I could say I was making this up, but I've just seriously had crappy luck pretty much ALL YEAR LONG. I'm SOOO tired of it.

Keep on keepin' on...
