Morning all.
Ok first of all before I forget Mel the name of the Cookbook is:
Cooking with Mickey and the Disney Chefs. Hope you find it cuz it is awesome!!
Anyway yesterday was interesting to say the least. The good news is I got almost all the taxes done. The bad news is I took Lynn to the ortho and I was feeling really crappy so I stayed in the car and she brings out this slip that says they want her to get more x-rays to the tune of 165 bucks. I was like WHAT! This place REALLY is ticking me off. First of all they gave me a quote at the beginning and lined everything out and said it would be between 4500-6000 depending on the treatment and that we would have to pay the amount so I am thinking ok if we pay the 6000 and it ends up being less work then we would get a refund. They told me that it would take 3 years to fix her teeth and 4 teeth would have to be pulled and yadda yadda.
Also her mother was supposed to pay half of the balance after the two insurances paid their part. Well we paid our part up front and she paid SOME but then (flake that she is) she got divorced for the FIFTH time just like I KNEW that she would and it was her dh's insurance and of COURSE he dropped her and so did her insurance and so it stopped paying. So we called her and said she needed to fork over the difference. Well in the meantime her and Lynn had a falling out and she says don't call me again. It is a long story but we have had custody of Lynn since she was 7 and she has NEVER paid us a dime of child support this entire time and she is a TOTAL flake. I was amazed she even gave us her half of the money to begin with but I was REALLY nervous about the insurance since it doesn't pay till the END of treatment and I KNEW that her lasting with this so called husband till the end of 3 years was NEVER going to happen. So of course WE got stuck with the balance. So at first we were "paid in full" then we weren't because we had to pay the balance that the insurance didn't pay since they dropped her (which I am STILL paying) but THAT was supposed to be the end of it. I was NEVER told there was going to be any X-rays at the end. Plus it DIDN'T take 3 years but rather only 1.5 AND she didn't need the teeth pulled so if you asked me I don't see WHY we needed to pay the entire 6000! But what else is new!
Plus my dentist told me Katy had a cross bite and needed an appliance and I am thinking ok like a retainer. Well Lynn's retainer cost 500 bucks. I am thinking ok doable and our ins covers half of ortho stuff. Well I went in and they told me 1500 bucks. I nearly fell over. Then the ins said they would only pay 500 of it. I was like FORGET it. Can't afford that.
So THEN I get home and last night when I go to bed after working too long on the computer I ended up with another stupid migraine. It was a really bad one that felt like someone was poking me in the eye with a hot poker. Shane had to squeeze my head as that is the only way it stops hurting. I know that sounds weird but when you get a migraine your blood vessels constrict and that helps for some weird reason.
Now this morning it is better but I just have that sore after feeling like I was hit by a truck. Gotta love it. So today I am going to have to take a break from finishing the taxes or I know I will end up with another one.
Luckily I am off again and the only thing we have going on today is the kids have church tonight but we just have to drop them off.
I feel like the rest of you all I am SO ready for this trip! Is it March yet!
