WTF Wednesday

DS dropped his favorite elephant lovey down the storm drain today and was so sad and crying about it.  I felt so bad!  Thankfully, Babies R Us has one that I can go pick up today!

DS keeps trying to trade me toys for candy...he got three smarties this morning and he's hooked! No more candy for this little fiend!

I stayed home today not feeling well, as I'm relaxing in bed and loving the silence of being the only one home, and excited about getting some extra sleep,  the doorbell rings 2 times. I ignore it. 5 minutes later I hear rumbles and a truck outside the house,  go to inspect what's going on. The roofers are here to replace our roof (this was supposed to happen 2 weeks ago) so much for a relaxing silent day.

I'm in Maine where we just had that bad wind storm and half a million people lost power. We were lucky only two days with no power. But now no cable or internet still and I have a raging cold and ear infection and just want to lounge on the couch with the two year old and watch mindless tv. Car is in the shop so I can't even leave. Stuck at home feeling terrible and I get to spend the day cleaning out all the rotten food from the fridge after the outage and trying desperately not to vomit. Basically a shit day.

WTF to me?  I got cocky because I had a good day yesterday and thought I didn't need to take my meds for HG.  I thought, "I'm 14 weeks!  I've turned the corner!  Wheeeee!"  Yeah, no.  My breakfast ended up in my front planter today.  Whomp, whomp.

I haven't pooped in days... and today while our with my client I had a huge wave of sick. Luckily we were in a parking lot, but it was fun running out of my car in the rain/snow mix to puke my breakfast up in one of those little areas with a bush and mulch while cars drove past me gawking. 
also I got a grilled veggie sub at penn station today took it home to find out they left off all of the grilled veggies. It was lettuce tomato and onion on bread for 7.50. Grrrr

My DD had been sick for 3 days with a cold and throwing up. Took her to the Dr and yep, stomach bug and a cold and might be a week until she can hold down food. Even liquids are hard for her to keep down. I'm so tired of all the vomit and laundry and just want my baby to feel better. Wtf double viruses?!?

DS1 once threw his elephant lovey into the elephant enclosure at the zoo.

WTF lightning crotch? I didn't have it last time, so it is a very odd sensation for me. My V is already going to be stretched to the max in a few months, can't the uncomfortable feelings wait until then?? Ugh...

theletlers

@zizzabell523 I haven't had it (yet...) but I remember from my first. Such an uncomfortable and painfully awkward feeling!

I'm a day late, I took yesterday off for an eye appointment and my midwives appointment.  WTF to our insurance company who didn't get the memo that MH's start date for his new position was moved two weeks later, so told me at both of my appointments yesterday that I had no insurance coverage!  MH got on the phone immediately and they *told* us it should be straightened out in a day or two, but seriously, not cool.  Also, WTF to apparently losing my FSA card, and having to put all of my OOP costs (around $250) on my credit card yesterday.  I'm supposed to be able to be reimbursed, but considering they don't even think I have insurance right now....not sure how this will go over.

@sandbar517 insurance - grrrrr.   Hate that everything is so difficult when it comes to insurance!

I'm going to add a WTF for insurance.  We have been working on getting a life insurance policy in place the last few months.  Mine went through fine, but DH's was held up due to his congenital heart defect, VSD.  It has never caused any problems for him and when he asked for a cardiologist referral last year, they denied it because they said they couldn't justify the need.  The insurance company refuses to insure him without a cardiologist signing off, so they said they would pay for him to see one for the policy to be underwritten.  This started two months ago.  They keep calling me to schedule an appointment with him, and I've given them his cell phone number multiple times so they can talk to him directly.  Everytime he calls them or they call him, they tell him they have to check with the doctor and call him back, and then they don't.  Then the process starts over again with the company calling me to schedule the appointment.  

Our insurance agent keeps telling us that we need to schedule the appointment, but I honestly don't know what else to do at this point.  I basically let the lady who called me this morning have it because I am so tired of them calling me and then not calling DH back.  And it annoys me that they think I can make an appointment for him.  He's an adult with his own schedule, just call his effing cell phone!  

sandbar517

@mileswithmyles I go through the same thing.  Even though our dental insurance is through my husband's insurance, they always call/ask me about scheduling his appointments.  Um, he's a big boy, I think he can make his own appointments!  

theletlers

My DH looked at me like I was crazy when I told him that about calling the dentist the first time. I'm serious going to make my son do stuff for himself before he leaves my house. I'm not going to raise him to be dependent on a woman for his whole life!

If I don’t make my husband’s appointments, he would never go. It drives me nuts. Please raise your boys to do stuff for themselves.

@mileswithmyles the entire insurance thing seems so shady. My counsel results with insurance were 800$. My results without insurance are 199$. Maybe I just don’t get what insurance actually is. 

rachelg777

@justsuzie I think the list price is much higher than that, Counsyl (and other companies) just give a break to their customers whose insurance won’t cover it. So they’ll bill insurance $$$ to get money but will be nice to customers who don’t qualify.

did you get your actual bill?  Mine said it was the same with and without insurance, but that was just the estimate.  I am nervous about the final bill since they never seem to be what was quoted.

heelsidehero

@mileswithmyles can you get life insurance on your husband through another company?  I hate dealing with difficult companies and would totally take my business to another company if that is an option.

I still hate to call and make my own appointments. And I hate making them for my kids. But I do it, through gritted teeth. Haha.

justsuzie

@heelsidehero . I haven't gotten a bill....and we have an HSA so we have to pay the first 5000 out of pocket.  weep womp.

Me too! I try to always make the next appointment before I leave the dentist/doctor/anything that requires an appointment so that I can avoid calling and making one.

That's what I should do, but I always wait until a month or so before I need the appointment so I can figure out childcare either with my mom or dh working from home.
