emotionally and mentally bankrupt

after going to jail a few weeks back for driving with a suspended license due to a non-paid surcharge on a ticket for no insurance (my brother in-laws truck that i borrowed) that i paid a year and a half ago, i am just now starting to see the extent of the damage. i asked a lawyer to help out and he did. however, i had asked him to look at my case and get back to me to let me know what he could do to help me out and to let me know how much it would cost me. we're buying a house so i need all the money i can get these days and would have passed on getting my record cleared if i had known it was going to cost me so much. well, the lawyer went ahead and took care of everything, which is cool. the uncool thing is now i owe him a big lump of money, i have to pay my insurance in advance for 6 months of coverage, and i have to do community service. the community service part is easy. in fact, i've been doing it already for free (see my blog below called "you've got to be an ass to flick your butt") . the part that pisses me off is that i was supposed to have been informed of my costs and whatnot BEFORE he did anything. now, i am forced to pay all this crap right in the middle of trying to close on a house. not to mention, work is overwhelming, i've been void of any emotional connections, christmas is coming up and my car is in need of some repair. i just want to hit something or someone then fall asleep for a few days. but.... there's too much to do and no time, money or energy to do it!
yeah!!!!!
