WTF....

ok...so now that i've dropped the big ol' F-BOMB in my blog....there are no limits my friends! i'm going to start this off by warning you....i am PISSED and i'm ready to SCREAM! if you are looking for a sweet wholesome family read...then PLEASE DO NOT read this post! however...if you can take the heat...then read on...

ok...here goes....

I HATE DEALING WITH MY FUCKING INSURANCE COMPANY!!!

so...now that that's out of my system...

first of all....whenever i call the member services department, i am treated like an idiot. the people there make me feel so stupid...it's really quite irritating! yes, i know that i have independent insurance, because it's not paid for through an employer, but c'mon...there has GOT to be a better solution. we live in the united states of america...where people are supposed to be living the american dream...seriously?!?!? this feels more like a nightmare! and i at least HAVE insurance....i can't imagine all the shit people must deal with, who don't have insurance!

i pay a monthly premium (which i consider quite high) for myself and the kids for health insurance...on top of that, i pay a monthly premium for myself for maternity coverage (hey, ya never know...otherwise prenatal care would cost a shit load!)...plus i pay an annual premium for the 3 of us for dental coverage. all in all, i pay these people upwards of $10k a year in premiums alone....and for what i ask you? for what???

medical and dental bills don't seem to be any less just because i'm insured....it is absolutely ridiculous! sure...there's a way around those bills...i could pay 4-5x my monthly premium...but who the hell can afford that?!?!

seriously?!?! i pay for insurance and i still have to pay full price for things like....MAMMOGRAMS, MRIs, LABS, DENTAL FILLINGS, etc...

this is just absurd...and i've had it!!!!!!!

but...they've got me....because what's my other option....

UMMMM....A BIG FAT NOTHING!!!!

UGH!!!!

all of this leaves me frustrated....angry....and wanting a big fat dairy queen blizzard! so...since that's all i CAN do about it....i'll just go medicate my headache with some yummy fatty ice cream.

k...i'm done now....

thanks for listening.....

what's up doc?

this week has been full of doctor's visits...the boys both had their well check ups on tuesday and i had a physical today. i'll spare you the details of my physical, as i know it's the boy's stats you are interested in :) i will say though, that i am below my pre-preggers weight, which i was REALLY happy to see! i can't compare jacob's 6 month stats to andrew's, because i can't find andrew's 6 month info. yes...i'm "that mom"...for some reason, i go straight from 4 months to 9 months in his baby book medical info! i can tell you though, that both boys are tall and thin!

andrew - 4 year stats
height: 40.25 in. (50th percentile)
weight: 35.4 lbs. (50th percentile)

jacob - 6 month stats
height: 27.75 in. (90th percentile)
weight: 17.1 lbs. (50th percentile)

both boys survived their shots...andrew had 3 and jacob had 4! it was me however, who almost lost it at the end! get this...when andrew was getting his 3rd shot, he started to cry and said "i guess i wasn't good after all." we had been saying "good job" so much throughout the appointment, because he was answering the docs questions and listening to her so well. turns out, he thought he was getting the shots because he hadn't been good during the appointment! brought tears to my eyes and i felt just horrible! we explained that he was getting shots to keep him healthy. he mentioned it again this morning and i told him that i was going to get shots today at my doc appointment too. he was glad to see my bandaid this afternoon when i picked him up from school. luckily, he didn't ask if i got the shot because i wasn't good at the doctor's office!!!
