I am not sure what a title should be

I feel like crying today First of all I am not feeling well went to urgicare both ears are infected and the throat is cherry red started a z pack. It was nice to say yes I have insurance.

My dear cousin died Sunday night he was more like an uncle then a cousin Me and my other cousin April are in charge of the reunion and we thought instead of sending flowers from the florist we would just donate 30 dollars to the John Kanizus Research fund . I am not to do that until there is a vote in August we were told not to do anything there is more to that situation but I dont want to get into it all.

I also seen the Orthapedic today I have four more weeks on the loveseat which I am not surprised by. What he did say that has me concerned is he doesnt see any clafication on the breaks he is going to give it four weeks and re x ray it and if he still does not see any clafication on the x rays we may have to talk surgery I dont want to talk surgery he reenforced the cast its now purple and white.

I cancelled Easter dinner. Mike will cook a ham but I dont want to fuss with everyone being here and the mess to be cleaned up by the kids or Mike and that is how it usually is me cleaning up after a big meal. My mom is not happy about this I also told her its to hard to get into her house. I am not going to feel sad cause she is not happy.

Well sorry for the depressing post but that is how it is today

It take very little to make me happy!!!!!!!!1

I am all smiles you would have thought I had hit the powerball. Nope thats not it. Guess what well guess. Okay I will tell you we have Good insurance again yaaaaay.

The great state of Pa has decided that the reduced cobra payment is cost effective. Talking to the caseworker today she said if we have known you were going to break your foot we would have paid all long. BCBS will be retroactive to March 1st.

And we got a little snow maybe 2 inches that fact doesnt make me happy but it could have been a lot worse. There was a bad accident that was heard on the scanner a suv verses a pepsi semi truck we are praying the suv driver is going to be ok. From the sound of the scanner it was bad and life flight was not available do to the fog in Erie.

Maybe more later . Have a good day all

Politics with my mom

I knew it would be a heated discussion and it was but I think I may have won. My mom is a McCain supporter here in this house we support Obama. I was telling my mom about our reduced Cobra insurance payment which kind of impressed her.

Score one for me lol. She still says Bush did more for her and the country I disagree with that statement what he did was get us in a war for 6 years. He hasnt helped the economy. Which she kind of agreed with that but then went on to say that if President Clinton would have left the housing market alone then there wouldnt be all the foreclosures.

I pointed out if Clinton hadnt changed housing rules me and Mike would have not been able to buy our house. I did not like President Clinton either. But his policys wasnt all that bad just not a very moral person but who are we to judge on that front. Onto a new topic

This week in our house is the week known as not seeing much of J week Monday he starts ROPES class through the fire dept

Tuesday its Robotics

Wensday its Band after school till 8 30 he has a district wide concert

Thursday is Fire school

Friday and Saturday its Robotics with a Robotic competion all day Saturday

with all of his school work on top of this list that he has to keep up we expect him to at least keep a c average but right now he is carying and 92.7 gpa which we are impressed with. He wants to sign up for the volunteer ambulance in town and marching band we said yes to marching band cause we just shelled out 800 over two years for a trumpet

We said no to the Ambulance sign up right now he has to much on his plate and we dont and him oerwhelmed plus he has camp cadet coming up. He is one busy kid,

Reason number 1 why I love President Obama

When Mike was working and before the Great foot break of 2009 we had great health insurance which was Blue Cross Blue Shield and because Mike is a diabetic the state payed our premiums with state insurance as a back up. 25 dollars copay for each of the 4 meds Mike has to take got expensive really fast.

When Mike was laid off the state decided it would NOT cover our cobra payment and we would just have state coverage which is fine but not as good as bcbs although we are greatful for any health insurance I know there are a lot of families out there that have nothing there were some things that made us shake our heads. First was I had to get approval for an MRI on the foot. Second I got a notice yesterday they denied payment on my air cast boot thing that I will have to wear for another 6 weeks once the hard cast comes off (thoughts on that another day). The third and most annoying was they had to preapprove one of Mikes prescriptions which took like 6 weeks.

The doctor we have gave him samples which was good but what if the drs office was out?

In todays mail we got a letter from the insurance company that bcbs is billed through saying that because of the stimulas package we are lowering the cobra payment from over a 1000 dollars to around 400 I will call my caseworker at that assitance office and ask them if it would be cost effective for us to have bcbs back instead of just relying on the state coverage.

I am crossing my fingers that they say yes and they will pay the COBRA payment if not then we will just continue with state coverage.

A conversation in my house

Me S did you brush your teeth

S. Mom your so obssessed with my teeth could you just leave them alone.

Me wanting to ducttape her somewhere there is almost 3000 dollars of metal and work going into the mouth I am not just going to leave you alone.

S. rolls her eyes and says something along the line of they are her teeth.

little over 30 minutes after she brushes teeth she wants to go with her friends that I have never meant to a spot and wait for a couple boys the girls were to meet with and me and her dad say no way no how and not in this lifetime. Which brings another fit on with words coming out of her mouth like you dont trust me and the all time favorite their parents let them do it.

Sorry little one we are not comfortable with this and your not doing it. Our house our rules. I am pretty sure from what she says that she does not like the boys but still I dont know these girls and its asking for trouble. I dont think I am going to survive her attitude

Pepper and her bad bad ways.

Two posts in one day I am impressed. I wanted to blog about pepper and her evil morning yesterday morning.


1 half full jar of peanut butter lid chewed off and jar licked clean.

2 bowls from the kitchen chewed up

1 package of 6 cookies sprung from their container and ate with crumbs all over the dining room

1 package of dog treat jerky chewed up and devoured.

1 bag of cat nip destroyed she now has cats that will be her friends for life the cats have been rolling in it. The catnip surprised me.

Its a good thing she is cute and loved cause it would be so easy to find her a new home but i still have to remember to remind people not to leave things on the counter.

Cnn made me smile

As I am sitting here on the loveseat with the laptop reading the news I went to check out cnn and there is this article that pets cause 88,000 falls a year.

Dogs cause the most with cats causing 11 percent.

Hmm I am thinking two things people should not be laughing at me for doing this and second and most important I am not alone. Yaaaaaay me

Only if we could teach our pets to put there toys up. My next fall I invision is going to be cause I tripped over a cat ball which I have came close to do a couple times but luckly I was able to catch myself.
