I've officially had my first order for baked goods. One of Dusty's coworkers wants to get 2 loaves of sourdough bread (this will be a continuous thing whenever I have bread freshly made near the weekend), and sometime he wants a cake, but he's an odd character, and he doesn't quite understand that I don't just randomly decide to bake a cake for someone. Yes, I do that with cupcakes on occasion to try out new recipes, but a chocolate cake with chocolate icing...done that. Not going to randomly do a cake of any kind, actually.
I dislike mortgage companies. How is it that they ordered a credit report for our refinance, but only sent us the scores, companies and the comments on our scores, not the accounts or balances. When I requested a copy of the full report from our broker, she said that they couldn't give the report to the customers anymore. What? WHY??? I know there's probably some "protection" reason for it, but for now I'm thinking it's just stupid.
All of this has made me not want to cook supper tonight. Surprise, surprise. We have leftovers we could eat, but nothing that I really want. I want to go to Chick-fil-A, but I know that we'll more than likely go there later this week because of visitors we'll have. Problem is we went out to eat for lunch yesterday, and we're trying to save money in case this refinance does go through because it's going to up our monthly payment.
I was complaining this morning to my mom about going to the gym with the kids, and everything else that was bothering me, when my knuckle hit one of the buttons on my steering wheel. It restarted the song the kids were hearing. When I realized what song it was I stopped talking. The song was the scripture, "Do everything without complaining or arguing, so you may become blameless and pure, children of God." OK, God. Gotcha. It has just been one of those days where I think He tries to see just how far I can be pushed until I start complaining again. Unfortunately, it's not very far today. Yet another reason why I want to go to eat tonight. Plus, I want to see the pictures of our family on the bulletin board there! That is all.
HAHAHAHA. I love God and His sense of humor/way of getting through to us. I hope you either made something delicious or got a really good deal on Chick-fil-A. Or made Dusty make dinner. He can do that, right?
ReplyDeleteJennie...a couple of questions: Are you refinancing your mortgage to take advantage of the historically low interest rates? Are you shortening the loan term as well, and that is the reason for the higher payments?
ReplyDeleteYou can get a free credit report from each of three main agencies once a year, and you should do this because there are often errors that can affect your FICA score, and you can see them and get them fixed. Go to www.annualcreditreport.com and follow the directions. This will not get you your FICA score though. They will ask you to pay extra for that. Go to www.creditkarma.com and open a free account.
You sound stressed...I wish I could help. Real life is tough and you just have to be tougher. Put the kids to bed early and have a little red wine...don't tell your folks I recommended that.

We did go to Chick-fil-A, although Dusty volunteered to make supper. :)
ReplyDeleteTommy, I've done the credit check with one of the 3 companies pretty regularly. We're refinancing to take advantage of the low rates and to go from 30 year to 20 year. It's only about $60 a month more, and saves a WHOLE lot on interest.
I heard that, Tommy:)
