Damn it, I moved last year, and sure enough, all the letters from bill collectors I wish wouldn’t be able to find me are still getting forwarded correctly, but the W-2 from the grocery store I worked at for part of last year seems to have been lost in the shuffle. I called the store’s 1-800 number, and they want me to pay $10 for a W-2. Screw that. I never have good luck with W-2’s. Last year one got stolen out of my mailbox. I just don’t see why they’re so important, because I always keep up with my pay stubs, and if not for the EIN, I would be able to file and just pretend like I had a W-2, but I can’t even get the EIN# anywhere free off the Internet.

We have two huge stumbling blocks right now. The first is my husband’s vasectomy, which we cannot afford to get reversed (and don’t say just because I don’t have $6000 all at once that I could not afford a child…I am above the poverty line, have a good job, and have my own health insurance). The second is my issue, which is kind of hard to define because I’m too scared to really look into it. A doctor told me two years ago (God, I can’t believe it’s been that long) that I more than likely had endometriosis, but they can’t be sure you have it unless you have surgery, and I wasn’t willing to do that. That was about nine months after my first miscarriage that I heard that from that doctor who I went to see about another problem and just mentioned my heavy, painful periods to. Right before my husband and I got married, I had my second miscarriage. I think after three they label you as “habitual.” I’m one away from being habitual, and I’m only 21. And now my body is doing really weird things—I keep missing periods and gaining weight like I’m pregnant, or I hurt like hell when I do get my period, etc. So I don’t know what is going on with me. At least I KNOW what is going on with him.
I have a good job, and my marriage is a little bit more, ahem, stable, than it has been in the recent past. We just moved to a larger home (MUCH larger than where we were at, and very nice, too…a good place to raise one or two kids in, but if we had more than that we’d need somewhere even bigger), and my husband is doing everything he can to be the man I married and the man I want to be married to. We want a baby. And all we can do right now is pray.

There ARE a few benefits to the job I have now (I’m extremely grateful for having a full-time job in these times, especially one with BCBS insurance that only costs me $25 a month, but lately it’s been 12-hour workdays six days a week, which is a bit much, and Uncle Sam takes most of my overtime money, so I feel like I’m working for free those extra four hours), and one is something called Purchasing Power, where you get discounts on all kinds of stuff, and they payroll deduct it. Well, they had those new, pretty Dells that come in the different colors for under $60 a month for 18 months. That’s half what I would pay for a used computer at Rent-A-Center or a place like that, and I just haven’t found any secondhand at pawn shops that I liked or that were a good price.
So I ordered me a pink one! As soon as I fax them the paperwork, it’ll be on its way. I have been without a laptop for too long. I am stoked!
