I think my head may explode!

So my morning started out with an email from the lady who has Belle (for those who didn't know, I gave up Belle to a lady who does Mastiff rescues b/c I felt I wasn't giving her the life that she deserved being kept inside all the time without much attention and since we'll be moving in a year, I don't know if we'll find a Mastiff friendly place). Apparently, Belle lost 35 lbs, had two bladder infections and two staff infections, was going to the bathroom inside constantly and chewing up everything. She was almost put down! She seems to be on the mend now that she is working as a therapy dog with the lady and has made a best friend with one of the other mastiffs. But it was touch and go.
TALK ABOUT REMORSE AND GUILT.
As though that didn't almost send me over the edge, I check my bank account. Wow, it's really low! Wow, there are charges I don't recognize!
I have spent the last two hours making calls, trying to get almost $200 back! Someone used my card number but not my name, zip code, or email to charge $35 to an adult video site. This same person charged $124.78 to a place that has a site that has a phone number that is trying to reroute me to a 10 15 15 number that charges $5 connection and comes up as a Nevada directory assistance call. This charge hasn't gone through but is still pending and may go through at any time. I also have two netflix charges that I thought weren't going to go through b/c this card was supposed to have been cancelled in May! I was under the impression that when my new card came the old one was cancelled. That was what was supposed to happen, but somehow it slid through the cracks! And I found out today that the old card has been active this whole time. Almost five months!
Now I'm not going to name names about the bank, b/c usually I have a wonderful experience w/ them. But I was told today that it may be 5-10 business days before I get a "provisional" refund. And it may take up to 3 months for a full investigation. And if at the end of the investigation, they decide these weren't fraudulent charges, they'll take all the money back!
GOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO!
And I tried to fill out their online fraud claim but I keep getting a system error; so now I have to pack up the two kids and go into the bank to fill out a claim!
UGHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHH!
B/c I have so much time to do this and I know the kids are just going to love sitting in the stroller to do this!
Why me? Kharma is a bitch! I know this is a return on me not being patient enough with the toddler! Or maybe it's me not being patient enough with my darling husband! Or maybe it's me not being patient enough with other drivers! Oh goodness, if this is the case, I'm really in for it. Kharma's about to take a huge bite off my tukus!

OMG Maria,
I am so sorry you're going through this!!! Nothing is more stessful. I'm so sorry!

And it's not karma getting back at you, I'm sure of it, you're probably just storing up for the future.

Agh, this stinks. Do you need me to break any kneecaps?

Don't worry Maria, this too will pass! It isn't karma, it is just something that happens... unfortunately.
You will be fine and more prepared to prevent this in the future.

Arrgh! So frustrating. I just went through this, after my car was broken into, so I totally feel you. Just try to remember that ultimately, it will be resolved...it WILL be resolved!

Say it like you're a soap opera vixen checking out her prey..."You WILL be mine." It always seems to work for them...
