Let's hear them!

I sliced the crap out of my finger yesterday and I can't get it to stop bleeding. I'm going to urgent care this afternoon and I'm really hoping I don't have to get stitches.

Summer in the south is too damn hot. We're getting in to the part of the year where you just can't be outside and active for very long, except for in the evenings when the mosquitoes come out. I was outside with J for 15 minutes yesterday before the mosquitoes started eating us alive even though we were both covered in bug spray.

My company had super great health insurance for years, until they changed their policy for 2015. Now we have to pay a ton out of pocket and it's killing us. DH just had surgery on his ankle and with all of the pre and post op visits on top of the actual procedure, it just keeps piling on.

Definitely thinking about switching to DH's company's plan for next year since I assume we'll be TFAS...

Miles continues to have fevers on and off since last Tuesday.

I'm at the Italian consulate and they are mean!!!! But everyone here look a just like my family!

Our insurance was great until they changed it this year too... Now they screw us with deductibles and out of pocket crap...

Our insurance premiums went up a lot this year too, but they way they set it up the people who took the biggest hit were those with family (employee, spouse, and kids) and employee + spouse plans in the hopes that spouses would drop our plan and pick up one at their own workplace. We ended up dropping MH from the family plan, signing him up for his own coverage, and keeping J and I together on an employee + dependents plan. All of this is even more ridiculous because we work at the same place!

it is impossible to save money anymore.

I'm tired of taxes, fees, and bs.

student loans suck. there desperately needs to be limits not on the cost of education, but on the amount people can borrow (private + govt.) if that were the case, tuition would drop. putting a ceiling on it wont work because everyone would just charge the limit. putting a limit on the amt borrowed isn't great, but I feel like it would be less than a ceiling. there doesn't seem to be any really great solution though :/ orrrr actually, just make SL's dischargeable in bankruptcy. that would fix it.

kimberpoo, 100% agree!!!!
I think it's really ridiculous that in Europe and most other civilized countries college is basically free unless you chose to go to a private institution that is more often than not NOT as reputable as the public Unis! On the downside, grammar and high schools aren't always as good either! But they are better than our school system!

DS started swim lessons tonight which means I had to put on a bathing suit. I can deal with that, it's the older lady who was there with another child telling me that I had skin cancer and needed to get to a doc because of all my moles. I've had them since birth so back off bitch, you should be paying attention to the infant in your arms in the pool.

Ugh I wanted to drown the woman after a half hour class.

It was just an overall bad day. MH started midnights last night and he is supposed to take the puppy out in the morning so I only have to worry about getting LO up and ready. He came in and went straight to bed. I'll give him a grace period to get adjusted but I don't think it's asking too much.

Then all morning my allergies were bad and I had a headache. Had to go spend money on new flip flops because puppy chewed up my other ones. Puppy was lethargic and not herself all day. Hasn't eaten since about 1pm and she normally scarfs her food down. Hoping she is better tomorrow, I really don't need more vet bills.

Then to round out the night, LO fell off the changing table. I was a few feet away hanging her clothes in her closet. She was sitting up and lately she is so acrobatic, she spun around and off she went. It all happened to fast, I was literally right there but couldn't catch her. Luckily she didn't land too bad, I don't think she hit her head too hard and it didn't look bad like wrenching her neck or anything and she landed on pretty cushy carpet.

She cried of course but not as long as I would have thought. I watched her for a while, no sign of concussion, and within 20 minutes she was happy and dancing. Once she fell asleep I've been checking on her a lot and she's sleeping/breathing just fine, so I think she is A-ok, but I feel terrible that it happened and I still worry that maybe I should have taken her in. I guess I could always call her pedi in the morning just to be sure.

I have a BFM on Wednesday. I brought my car in to get repaired at 8am this morning. It's 11am and no one has looked at it yet. Why do car places have you make an appointment if they are just going to get to it whenever they damn well please anyway??

Yes! A couple of weeks ago I took my car in to get the muffler replaced. I made a noon appointment. I walked all over the neighborhood for an hour then came back, thinking it must be close. No one was even looking at it yet. The guy at the service counter told me, "The muffler guy goes to lunch at noon." If this is common knowledge, then why did you let me make a muffler appointment for noon?
