Yes, the website is extensive, but it is not easily understandable
when you are looking for an exact phrase.

I can not simply type in the phrase and recieve a translation.  I have
tried to piece together the words in the phrase based on my findings
in the website and I get, "Ipseo Accuro" for "I have it".  Does that
sound right?

Finding Latin terms for modern words or expressions is something that
the Vatican attempts periodically with updates to its Lexicon Recentis
Latinitatis. You could track down a copy of that in a library. It is
only Latin-Italian, however.
Something such as "schema pessissima, habeo" might suffice otherwise.

Haste makes waste. The previous comment is obviouly erroneous in the
Latin suggestion. For some reason, I cast the worst case scenario in
the neuter plural, and then mucked up the superlative. Properly, it
should read "schemam pessimam, habeo." The borrowed Greek word in
Latin, Schema, is used to indicate the sense of scenario, which is a
kind of outline of events.
