My Day: I spent better than half the day going through medical bills and insurance EOB's. I'm trying to figure out how much we owe the hospital for Rob's stay last summer after his stroke. Part of his stay was uninsured, part was covered by insurance (that is another story for another day). I've been waiting for two weeks for the hospital to give me the final "total" so we can get this cleared up. That project, easily faded into spending the next couple hours paying bills, balancing checkbooks, and so forth. After a morning like that, I rewarded myself with a lunch of fig newtons, and a dinner of chocolate with blueberry creme. Not a very nutritious day I have to say. The evening ended with a hard decision. I had agreed our 15 year old son could ride with another teenager to a bonfire gathering. Not taking into consideration that it was wet all day, the weather clearing, and the temperature was dropping. All conditions for potentially very slick roads. After he left, my husband and the father of another of the children in the car decided it may not be the best decision for the kids to be on the roads. So, I had to go pick the boys up, and likely he was totally humilated. I explained some decision we make as a parent, are purely for our concern for his safety, and not for his happiness.
