That's right. We got a phone call today.
It was the lawyer's office. She tells my wife that our bill is $4800. My wife is like, wait we don't even know how much we are getting. The lady says, "Oh they didn't tell you?"
"Well, the award letter says you are getting $19,800."
At this point my wife breaks into tears and has trouble talking to me on the phone about it. When she called me she said "20,000" I'm like "what?" We're getting 20,000. Obviously I called her a liar. but she insisted it was the truth.
Our back pay check is going to be that amount and our monthly check will be $975. In the grand scheme of things, taking into account if my wife would've been able to work instead for two years, she would've made at least double that. But, after all we've been through and with my wife unable to work, it's fantastic! I can't go Ballin down the streets of st. louis or anything but, that extra G a month will definitely help us a LOT. It's pretty sick the lawyer gets as much as he does, but whatever I guess 15k will have to do. I feel so relieved. Now, of course they tell us it could be a month or two til we recieve the money. Lol. It's always another wait. I'm sure once we get the check and try to cash it or deposit it, it'll be another few weeks til the bank will be able to process it. eventually it will be nice.
We are thousandaires! lol. I'm rich bitch!
ok not really. But, it'll be fun for awhile at least to have that kind of money on me.
Can you say, all on black?
