Its been a couple of weeks since my last post, but I guess I haven't had much to say! Today I am feeling somewhat crabby. The thought of health insurance makes me cringe. We have medical bills up the wazoo, which proves to me that my medical insurance SUCKS. We are up for renewal on December 1, 2010. The office discussion has begun. Any time anyone mentions it to me, or in front of me, I just get angry. We were given applications for 2 other companies to apply with since the current company we are with is raising our rates 21%! So it goes from $488.40/month to $595.10/month. Granted, we are lucky enough to have our boss fork out $300 for each employee/month for medical coverage... but that still leaves me with $295.10/month (or $147.55/pay period). Plus the money I have taken out of my check and deposited to my HSA account for our medical bills payment plans. Just all of it makes me crabby! We are broke because of it. We would really be sitting pretty if we didn't have any medical bills!! But we do and that's that.
OK I am done talking about that... it's really getting me ticked.
Oct. 2 My sister and I attended our first Twins game at Target Field together. We had a blast, and of course, they won! What made the win even more exciting was they finished with a walk off win! It was definitely a beautiful day for outdoor baseball.
Um, what else... The next day I decided to convert Haley's crib into a toddler bed. The first night she did great and didn't get out of bed until I got her up on Monday morning. Monday night was fine until Brandon got up at 4:45AM to get ready for work and she came out of her room. He put her back in bed, but she was up again at 5:45AM and came in my room and said "Hhhhiiiiiiiiiiiii!!" Little stinker! She was a little better the rest of the week, not getting up til 6:50AM (I usually get her up around 7) so this was much better! Today and yesterday have been great! She was still in bed when I went in to get her ready for day care! My baby girl is really growing into a big girl!
I did finally decide on a Halloween costume for Haley! Well I didn't so much decide on it as it was more decided for me. I brought Haley's dino costume from last year to her daycare to see if it fit Michele's daughter Bre. It did fit her so she offered to borrow me her son's skunk costume from a few years ago. It is so STINKING cute! Haha! Get it? Skunk, stinking. HA! I crack me up.
I am pretty excited for this weekend, I am going to Ashley's Dahlia Street Salon on Saturday to get my hair done. I am going dark again. Think Monica, Season 7. :) Not only am I excited to get my hair done, but I am also excited to see Ashley and little Cole! Its been about a month since I've seen Ashley and really I don't remember when I saw Cole last. Oh it was the last time I had my hair done in July! He's growing up fast too.
I guess I had more to talk about than I thought!
