Well I am ready to burn shit down. My infusion provider is apparently not in network and for some reason my insurance company still approved services? But all that means is I have to pay everything OOP so they're trying to charge me $60,000. And that's only for the visits I've had so far... Wtf?! If your insurance provider preapproved services they need to pay. This is BS. Total BS.

Help needed! Charlie takes off all of his shoes, except for mocs (which he won't wear with socks and can't be worn in this weather because of the soft sole). I have running sneakers and boots and casual sneakers, and he immediately pulls them (and then his socks) off. I know it's a phase, but it's cold outside and I usually find him in the car seat, after a ride somewhere, barefoot. ETA: I'm ordering a pair of hard soled mocs now, but I'd like a different option. This is L too! I try to put tall kinda tight socks that I can pull up to her knees under her pants. This sometimes prevents her from getting the socks off. Otherwise, I got northing. She will also chew on her socks after she gets them off so they're nice and cold and wet once we get somewhere... B always chews on his socks. It's terrible, but we always say he's like a dog, he just walks around with the sock in his mouth. S thinks it's the funniest thing ever. I tend to keep an extra pair on hand just in case.

cagoldi how frustrating!! You work in the insurance field don’t you? Hopefully your experience helps you with which hoops to jump through to get this fixed!

inthekitty - I hope she feels better quickly and that no one else gets it! cagoldi that stinks, I hope you are able to get that overturned. mwhip - definitely sequester him in 1 room/bathroom! When MH had the stomach bug over Thanksgiving, I wouldn't let him leave our room, and I slept in the guest room! Thankfully, the rest of us were spared. No thank you to catching the stomach bug!!

Random question...
My mom is retiring finally!! I’m so happy for her. She has worked a very long 36 years of government service. And truly enjoyed her job. But she is ready to start enjoying retirement! Her last day is tomorrow but they are throwing a retirement party on the 12th. I am going into town for the party. Am I supposed to get her a gift? If so, what is a good retirement gift?

Maybe a gas gift card so she can come visit you more 😉

So B woke up from his nap yesterday with a goopy disgusting eye. By the end of the night it was obvious he had pink eye. I had to be at work today for the start of a new project, so I made MH take him to the doctor.
He also has his first ear infection. Poor kiddo.
Then he went to get the prescription and the pharmacy said there was a rash (pun intended) of kids with pink eye this week and they were our of the drops so they would drop them by later. B will start getting the meds around 3:30 when he wakes up from his nap and they said every 2 hours today then 3-4 times per day after that.
Soooo... tomorrow morning it will not have yet been 24 hours since he got his first dose, but he will have 3-4 today and 1 in the morning. Would you guys send him back to school tomorrow??

Good tip on the bathroom! I know at work when someone has GI symptoms that close that bathroom down until it's cleaned. I believe they say to act as if someone is contagious until 24 hours after their last "episode".

PArtially to not catch it, but partially b/c having the big bed to myself was glorious

Hi! Back to work and school today. I’m now researching laser hair removal places near my house after yesterday’s thread. I see a few groupons but the problem is it’s only one per customer. So i want to do my under arms and bikini so i will have to go to two different places to get a good price for both?! That’s annoying. The main place here does specials a lot. Buy one body part get the second half off.

I would definitely get her a gift; maybe a retirement basket that has all her favourite things in it like or passes to do something like golfing, spa day to start anew, slippers to 'put her feet up', etc.

cagoldi, that fucking sucks. I hope the fight isn't too painful because that's total bullshit and the last thing you need is another stressor to deal with. jewels we just went through pink eye in our house. It's so contagious I'd make sure it's been at least 24 hours before going back to school. Thanks for the Cassie love everyone. I called MH and he said she got some more sleep and woke up and seemed to be feeling better. She wanted to watch girl Ghostbusters and Blues Brothers so that's a good sign.

Hola.
All these sick kids and moms...ugh, so sorry. I hope everyone is feeling better asap.
DH took B to the trampoline park and I'm home in a quiet house while C naps. Bliss. I should clean, but will probably make some hot chocolate and browse Pinterest. I decided I'm going to paint my kitchen and put up a new window treatment, so that gives me a little project to think about:)
OH!!! So my sister found out she is having a...boy!!!

My Primary care Dr finally called me back and basically was useless. Said my shoulder will take 4-6 weeks to heal and he wants me to see an orthopedic surgeon just in case and to ask them about rides at Disney. He also added he "hopes" they can get me in before my trip. Grrr! So I guess this is a patience thing and I just need to keep in a sling and wait it out. I can't wait to get home and take something stronger than Tylenol.

I used to do appeals, too. It's just ridiculous that anyone should have to deal with this. Yes it is! I’m surprised that in 4 years, with all of Sierra’s issues, surgeries, appointments, labs, scans, ect, we’ve not had any insurance snafus! (Knocking on all the wood here right now...I probably shouldn’t have said that out loud).

My mom is planning a trip to Hawaii in the next year as a bit of a retirement gift to herself. Maybe I should get her some books on what to do there. She’s been obsessed with wanting to go since MH and I went there about 7 years ago.
