I'm just sayin'.  The month sucks.

Yesterday was a really rough, personal day that I won't get into.  A day of commemoration to our son that passed in '01.  On the 28th, it'll the 17th Anniversary of my dad's death.  Two things that are extremely hard on me.

So, I had myself all psyched up for Mayhem Fest.  Rob *LOVES* Slipknot and I was really hoping to get him there.  I was all working towards it without problem, UNTIL... we get a phone call from our new Home Owners insurance people saying that even though we paid them $2,000 that they asked for, they had the property RE-ASSESSED without our knowledge and now with that new value, they want an ADDITIONAL $1,400.00 .... by JULY 30th!!!!

People, it's JULY 19th!!!  So, here I am to come up with $1400 MORE in what... 11 days.  OK, so pretty much there goes EVERYTHING.  Any idea of getting me a car to get to SCHOOL when it re-starts in the Fall and going to Mayhem Fest is absolutely outta the question now.  This bomb has me completely stressed out and it's really frustrating b/c I was using Mayhem to keep my mind off the NEGATIVE things that this month always holds for me. 

So... yeah.  July f'n sucks!!!
