New Car Blues

I cant believe its been almost a month since our accident. We like our new car, but due to the snow or something our window shield wipers dont work. Dean thinks its the fuse for the motor or something. The brakes have been squeling since week 2 that we’ve had it. It’s raining and since the wipers dont work its extra hard to drive in the snow that is still left covering the roads. We’re going to have to take it to the shop tomorrow(yeah real fun driving across town in the rain w/out wipers….wohoo!) Biggest headache of the new car is car insurance. Found out today the premium for 6 months of coverage is $2000! They wont take the old car, you know, the one thats in a junk yard somewhere and has been for a month now, off the coverage yet until the claims are done so we are still paying insurance for it. And the coverage we have works so you make 4 payments and then have 2 months w/out payments, so next month we owe$ 5–.oo We can barely afford life now and our car insurance was only $200 a month. Plus the increased car payment and paying $680 for health insurance coverage a month….geez, thats an add’l $900 a month and all of these changes of course come after I lose my job. So add’l bills and no extra income. I dont see how this is going to work. Not only will it be hard to get a job after getting fired(for health reasons at that) but I am still feeling bad, if not worse now that we cant afford my medicine. Guess we better start praying for a huge miracle. We’ll be getting money back from taxes but we already are behind paying for our Cobra health insurance so that is where that money will go. Someones going to have to get a job, either me or Dean get a second job. He’s said he would but that seems so unfair. I mean he makes good money, just doesnt include health insurance and the new car expenses, but we cant do w/out a car either. Already gave up cable and going to be getting rid of cell phones but after that theres not any bills we can just get rid of. At least we dont have to pay for daycare, but if I had a job at least we’d have some money. I know you dont want to hear about our money woes but I had to vent, I was almost yelling at the car insurance agent but I knew it wasnt his fault that life is so hard. I really REALLY hate being an adult sometimes. Meanwhile my little angel is cuddled up in our warm comforter sleeping. He didnt nap much at all today and here it is 5 and he’s just taking a nap. Oh well its Friday so he can stay up late.
