As I mentioned yesterday, my husband broke one of his teeth Saturday night at work. He had a dental appointment this morning to either get it pulled or to find out what it was going to take to get it fixed. Turns out that the dentist pulled out the small broken part and decided to put a crown on the tooth. This is going to cost us $1200. Our son had to have an eye exam and a new pair of glasses yesterday and that cost us $365. We got a phone call from the shop where our only car is being worked on yesterday and the mechanic told me that they can’t find the part that they need to fix the car, but if they do manage to fine the part, it will add another $100 to the cost, which is already at $1100.
We don’t have the money! We used our Health-care spending account to pay for the glasses and eye exam, but the dentist we had to arrange payments with and the mechanic of course wants the money when we pick up the car. Who knows when that will be… I wish we could afford to have a second car, but since we can’t, we have to make due on foot and by borrowing a car with expired license plates. I hate my life sometimes–I don’t want my life to end, just to change for the better, but I don’t know how to change it.
