FRAUD - Pet Peeve Alert

Last week our bank issued new debit cards from a new processing company. Since that time we have received at least one call a day verifying our credit card transactions. A lot of them are online transactions that we do monthly. So Friday, our blockbuster online transaction came through and they called to see if it was fraud. I said no, that is a legitimate charge. She said OK.

Fast forward to Sunday night when Sam went to Wal-mart to get gas in his truck and they declined his card. Needless to say, he was pissed.

So after twenty minutes on the phone this morning, they had forgotten to release our card.

I want to know how long we have to go through this. If they put a hold on my card every time I make an online purchase I am going to be mad. Internet shopping is just a way of life.

Kids Cost Too Damn Much

So, last night at dance I had to pay for Morgan's costumes. TOO MUCH! The three costumes totalled $169. Can you believe that? Plus the $80/month I pay for dance classes. Mason's birthday is this weekend and he is having a bowling party. $75 for the bowling alley. Plus cake and party favors, etc.

Speaking of Mason's party, I gave him 24 invites to take to school. He has 17 kids in his class, not counting him, and he invited them all. Then I told him he could use a couple of the extras for friends not in his class this year. I told him he did not have to give them all out. Well, when I talked to him Friday and asked about his invitations, he had give out all but 1. I said who did you give the extras to? Jenna, Julia, and Kane. I said that is only three, where did the other three go? He said "I gave them to Jenna and Julia's friends because they were standing with them." How do you get mad at that? He was trying not to hurt anyone's feelings. What a kid!

Friday night I went to a scrapbook sleepover at a local hotel. We scrapped from 6p Fri to 6p Sat. I got so much done. It was great!

Another busy week with the party and Easter coming up. I will blog about them later.
