Comedy of Errors :-P

My Wed afternoon was fairly amusing so I think I should share it w/ ya'll. So I come home from a lovely walk in the park w/ one of my mom friends. It's been a gorgeous day so far. So I feed & change Molly since we've been out for a bit & lay her down for a nap. I go to wash my hands & we have no water! All of a sudden I'm like "wait, I did pay all of our bills right?". Our electricity worked so I have no idea why I was suddenly afraid that I forgot our utilities bill (especially since I haven't missed a bill yet) but sleep deprivation does weird things to your mind. So I go online to check if I paid the bill & our account is negative! Now we've never overdrawn our account so my stomach just plummeted. I go to check our history & there is this significant withdrawal over the weekend that I don't remember making (also the name on it is incomprehensible it's a code ... not a real name). I'm like wow someone totally stole our money! (oh and Ian is at a UI meeting all day so he's totally incommunicado). So I'm trying to call the bank & they keep needing info like the last 4 of Ian's soc (which I forgot). So I'm trying to grab the folder that has all of our info in it but of course I'm in the middle of a big pillow project & I had decided to leave all of my sewing stuff on top of our filing cabinet. So I find the file, punch in our info & then Molly decides to have a MELTDOWN. So I run the baby room & she will not settle down. As soon as I think I've got her settled she'll flip over onto her tummy & start screaming bloody murder. Oh & I have 15 people showing up in a few hours for dinner & my dishes are all unwashed in the dishwasher (I loaded it but didn't run it) & I haven't prepped the food yet (and I have no water). So I finally get Molly settled down & I go back to the bank website & all of a sudden it hits me. We withdrew a bunch of money from our SAVINGS account to invest in Ian's fidelity account. Only we must have hit the wrong button & we took it from our CHECKING account (which we don't keep a lot of cash in). Oh no. Then I see $4,000 on our history after the withdrawal. I'm in such shock right now about what we did that I think we're being charged $4,000 for overdrawing out account. I freaked. Then I looked at it again. Nope it was a deposit into our account to help cover the over withdrawal. Oh yeah, we signed up for over withdrawal protection. Duh! :-P That money came from our credit card to help cover the over withdrawal.

So I calmed down. Molly started fussing again so this time I calmly went over & got her to sleep. Then I moved money around & paid off the credit card that covered our over withdrawal protection. I called Pizza Hut & ordered pizza for dinner (put the produce away for the dinner I was planning on making) and decided to go buy paper plates & drinks once Molly woke up. Geez what a way to come home! :-P It all ended up being very chill but I massively freaked out at the time. :-P Also our water came back on after a bit (turns out we had an emergency water shut down for some reason or another but it was all dealt w/ fairly quickly).

My lesson to all of you new parents: Don't try to multi task while you're sleep deprived (especially if it's for anything important). It's not pretty :-P
