you know the expression... (updated)

when it rains it fucking pours. apparently when i did my refi for my house my original lender put a freeze on my account & didn't pay my real estate taxes. instead the escrow went back into the principal. my new lender did not pay the taxes either- thinking they were paid by the old lender (i guess- getting a mea culpa out of anyone is impossible). i have been on the phone all morning trying to figure out who's fault it is that i now have to attempt a payment plan with the city to pay my taxes because no one thought it was a good idea to tell me that the reason i had that 'extra' money from the refi was that i was going to have to pay my own fucking taxes! that money is of course practically gone as i had to survive on unpaid maternity leave after the hub was laid odd & then get through the gap until i got unemployment. which so does not cover us. how can i get more money when we don't have enough now?
the hub has to sign up for his licensing class this week- now that will have to go on a credit card which really sucks! but it's pretty much the only way we can make any $$ right now since there's no jobs for me out there. this was supposed to be a back-up plan so he could start small with a little motorcycle repair & customization business. (nothing like the endeavor & risk the shop was) but now that will have to go on the side burner & he'll just have to get a better paying job in a garage.
i just wonder when it will end. we're already as low as we have ever been & the next step is fucking scary. like losing the house scary. i can't even process it. this is really starting to suck. i also got a direct deposit from my unemployment- to the tune of $25. this better not be my fucking payment for the week because i think i will have to jump off a bridge!

update: crisis avered! title guy mailed tax payment in march- city never cashed it. title guy is responsible decent human & covering the penalty & we don't have to scramble to come up with money we definitely don't have. thank you karma, i am very grateful for a break!
