Reflecting

Have you ever been driving along in your car, listening to a song on the radio and been overwhelmed with emotion? It happens to me a lot. I just get to thinking about my life and how so very blessed I am. I glance back in the rear view mirror to see Rayce’s smiling face and I just can’t help but cry. A good kind of cry. I have a wonderful husband whom provides for his family, which allows me to stay home with our son. I have a roof over my head and food on the table; I just couldn’t feel more blessed. Sure we don’t have all the expensive stuff and some of the nicer things in life but who cares. We have each other and we have our family. As long as I have that I feel fulfilled.

Dealer Fraud Part 1

Imagine trying to trade in your vehicle only to be told that it couldn’t be traded in because it shows signs of being in an accident. A major accident. Well, that happened to us. On June 27 we tried to trade in our Nissan Xterra because it gets horrible gas mileage and we were in desperate need of something else. To our surprise the vehicle isn’t even worth half of what we paid for it. How could this be? We trusted the person who sold it to us, Ray’s dad. It was time to act and time to act fast.

Ray went to the dealership where we purchased the vehicle and gave them a chance to make matters right. Only to be told that there was nothing that could be done because the dealership had been sold and was under new ownership. Just great now what? They politely handed us a carfax (which will come back to bite them in the ass later) and sent us on our way but, little did they know I wasn’t going to let it stop at that.

I decided to do some investigating on my own. I started with retrieving the police report from the accident. I was speechless. Not only was our vehicle in an accident but the police report stated that it had sustained heavy damage, disabled on scene, and was towed away. I was pissed, furious, and on a mission to make these people pay for selling me a totaled vehicle.

We started making phone calls. Starting with Ray’s dad then, we moved onto both parties involved in the accident. Neither party wanted to speak to us which was very frustrating because they had nothing to lose from speaking to us. Fine, so be it, we decided to call the insurance companies. After getting tossed around and put on hold we finally spoke to someone whom told us the claim number and that both vehicles had been declared a total loss. Perfect that was all the information I needed to contact the Attorney General’s office.

New Mexico law states that if a vehicle has sustained wreck damage and the cost of repair for the collision damage exceeds 6% of the sales price of the vehicle, then, yes, the dealer must provide a written affidavit to the purchaser that describes the vehicle and states whether there has been repair work done on the vehicle due to wreck damage. No affidavit was provided to us. Nothing, zilch, nada, zeros. I think we have a dealer fraud case on our hands my friends. Stay tuned for part 2 because it only gets better from here.

Visit with OB

I went to see my OB and she gave me the OK to have another baby. Since I'm extra fluffy I decided it was probably in my best interest to consult with her first. She sent me for some blood work, just to check everything out and it all came back normal. That included my glucose for the last 3 months so I was thrilled with that. She made a comment about making it to easy for me the last time (with Rayce) which I thought was funny. I told her she did such a great job that I couldn't help but want to do it all again. She just gave me "that" look and smiled. I love my OB! I would recommend her to anyone, any day. So if all goes according to planned with this cycle we're hoping this will be it! So stay tuned!

This cycle is out!

Just when I had made up my mind about what to do with the cycle a higher power decided to make up my mind for me. My body decided it was going to ovulate 3 days earlier than it did last month and before I had a chance to catch on it was too late. I’m starting to feel like maybe this isn’t the right time for another baby. I mean what are the odds that I would ovulate early? I’ve never ovulated this early. So frustrating but I have to chalk it up to everything happens for a reason and go on. I’m disappointed but at the same time I don’t know what else to do. On to the next cycle cause this one is out!
P.S.

Trying to conceive

That time of the month has just about wrapped up but now I’m struggling with to try this month or not to try this month. The reason being is I’m going to be in a wedding this coming fall and I already have my dress. :/ With Rayce I started showing early on and I’m almost positive this would be the case this time around. I don’t want to worry about my dress not fitting but at the same time we really want another baby. I mean really! I dunno I feel like if we hold off until after the wedding then something else will come up and it will just be a never ending circle. Uggg! Why do I have to be so OCD and think through everything all the time? This only CD7 so I still have time to decide.
