    Default Rough week and month! Enough already!

    Man, what a week.

    The fridge in the camper is not working. Luckily I had cleared it out and gave it a good scrub since I knew we would not be heading back up to the lake until September. That was July fourth. Nothing worse than rotted food in 106 degree weather.....

    I know it isn't the breaker but I am hoping for the fuse. I am prepared to pay $400 for a new one from Home Depot if I must.

    Dh and I are going up Saturday to see what we need to do.

    Somebody(and they better hope I don't find out who!) took our hose off our camper and then had the gall to not even put it back after they were done! The water is free but hey, ASK FIRST and why not use the other hose that isn't connected to the CAMPER. Things can break on camper so hands off! Grrrr... so now my water isn't working when I turn on the pump! That is the parks problem and not mine but I need WATER!

    Then I had to pay a year of storage building for dhs boat. Not a surprise but still $600. I do know that when you pay over $40,000 for a boat it needs to be put away and out of the elements and also from thieves. A small price to pay but gosh!

    Then there was $600 in school shopping but I decided to to spend $300 this month and then $300 next as all she has left is jeans to buy and she has a few pairs now from last year in good shape to get her through and she told me "it's okay Mama". My dd is TALL and has to get jeans from the buckle and at $80 to $135 a pop she wears them until they fall apart. Good girl!

    If that wasn't enough my dentist bill is $512 but I scheduled for next month and 2 visits to throw off the sticker shock.

    All this and the regular bills too.

    I did go ahead and get dds tablet for her b-day and it did end up being over $500 but I got $100 back in a gift card. We gave it to her and she is over the moon with it.

    No credit card spending and I didn't take any money from savings but boy the budget book is smoking and I'm TIRED.

    September anyone?????

    You need that hug! Hang in there! Good Luck with your frig.. I know about camper frig problems. If you are hooked up to campground h20...you shouldn't have to run your pump. We don't, that is. Ahhh September-cooler???

    What I meant is that when we leave we turn the outside campground hydrant off and when we come back we simply turn it back on.

    For some reason when I turn it on the water doesn't come out anymore. I "pumped" the handle and got it to work but after a few seconds it stops.

    Blah but as I said this isn't a camper problem but a park problem.
