I Am Here! Posted: 04-14-07 13:59pm
Warning: this thread has a lot of
chatter....
I am here in Boise, ID. We made the move
and let me tell you...it sucked!!
I have moved so much but for some reason
this move was the worst. The drive here
was not fun, either. It wasn't that far
but full of exciting events.
My husband rented a moving truck which
broke down. That was a horrible situation.
Luckily it broke down in a populated area
near a 24 hour center. They came out and
fixed the truck. We were driving
separately. Then we stopped for lunch and
gas in some small town in Oregon. I put my
debit card in my pocket and then went to
the bathroom. The card fell out out of my
pocket at the gas station, and I literally
noticed five minutes later. I asked the
manager if anyone had turned in my card.
She told me yes but she had just shredded
my debit card. I was only gone for five
minutes!! Now I have no source of money
but a credit card.....grrr. I was just so
ticked off. She said, "It's to protect
you!" I told her that she could have at
least waited for an hour to see if the
card holder comes back. My goodness. I
would surely be screwed if I didn't have
my husbands debit card!! we can't get
another card for a month and by that time
we will have a new bank!!
We are so happy here. I really don't feel
that bad about leaving family anymore!
This lifestyle will be so much better for
my immediate family! We are happy in our
new house. When we moved in, however, some
parts were so dirty I almost vomited. The
property manager came by and cleaned those
parts. He admitted they were a little on
the gross side. Moving this time around
with our child was by far the hardest. He
is extremely hyper now and can't stop for
even a minute!!!
Our stuff is everywhere and I have no
energy to unpack. This pregnancy is taking
all of my energy. I don't want to get to
comfortable anyways because this house is
only temporary.
I already went to a doctors appt and I
haven't gained any weight for two weeks. I
think it's due to the stress. I am almost
26 weeks and my baby weighs approximately
1 pound, 7 ounces.
So that's life! We are here and alive!!!

Well I'm glad to see you made there safe
and sound. Any ideas to when/where you're
moving, since this one is only temporary?
I don't know how you do it, I absolutely
hate moving!!!

Thanks for the support!!
The lady who shredded my card said that
she never heard of my bank so she shredded
it. Along with that being their policy. If
my card was a local bank, she probably
would have held onto it. I am not a
normally violent person but I actually hit
the counter really hard when she told me
that she shredded it. If she were any
closer, I probably would have clocked her
one. My pregnancy hormones were in full
force. Really, what she did was a complete
impulsive response. Most other places
would have put it in a safe for at least
until the end of the day.
We want to buy a house now for stability.
This lack of stability just stinks and is
not healthy for our child. He has already
been through enough of an inconsistent
lifestyle to last a lifetime - just not
healthy for him. I need to be offered a
job first. Since I work for a school
district, I just need a contract in my
hand. I just have to convince someone to
hire me and let me start a month late due
to maternity leave. I really am hoping for
a part time position somewhere. I would
just die doing my job full time and having
two kids. My job is about a 10 hour a day
job. Doing that five days a week would not
be fair to the kids. It really has taken a
toll on my little three year old!!

Welcome to Boise!! I left you a PM as well
but I just read what a horrble move that
you had to endure on your way here. That
is horrible that that lady had done that
to your card. Though she said it was her
policy to do so I would have still
reported it because that is a ridiculous
policy and for her to do that to someone
who is from out of state for one and to
say that they didn't recognize the bank
well DUH!!!
Anyways I am glad you are here safe and I
can't wait to get the boys together to
play they will just love eachothers
company. Take it easy don't try to do to
much. If you need any help with anything
just let me know.
wow. I would have
