Yes, I still have the job at McD's...but let's face it...I'm the breadwinner now and minimum wage ain't winning bread. I've not worked since mid-October due to a SURPRISE pregnancy followed promptly by an even bigger SURPRISE miscarriage. No worries, I'm alright with it (mentally and physically) as I had zero time to even get excited or think about the prospect of another screamer roaming the world. However, it did require some leave from work.
Top that joyous fun of with taking youngest screamer to the doc late last month for a random cough/cold/bug thing only to get told "hey, I'm sending you to a Pediatric Cardiologist"...good times folks, good times. Of course, now we're in a rush to get everything with youngest screamer squared away before the TriCare runs out at the end of March and my crappy McD's insurance kicks in. I should point out here, I will be working for insurance and gas money only if I don't find something better.
On average, a good full paycheck runs about $326 or so (give or take $50) every 2 weeks...insurance will run me $157.52 every 2 weeks...gas about $60 or so (depending on price fluctuations, etc) every two weeks. That leaves less than $110 every two weeks to pay bills and get groceries. You see, working for insurance...this will be the theme song of the country soon. Oh and I should point out also....this is the minimum amount of coverage I can opt for. Which also means co-pays on EVERYTHING and huge, massive deductibles. The fun just keeps rolling on in!
But, we're still alive...still standing...and still holding it together. For that, I'm thankful.
Now, I've got to go make a list of folks to call after the holiday so all checkups (eyes and ears for the blind and deaf in the house) can be done and done before all hell breaks loose.
Happy "We've Come to Convert You Savages" Day...or as most of you know it....Happy Thanksgiving!!
MATURE CONTENT....NOT SAFE FOR WORK (but funny as hell).
