Considering the weekend, Monday went smashingly smooth!
We continued on with school.
We went to speech.
I cooked dinner (minestrone and cheese biscuits).
I went to Mom's Night Out with a friend. She drove. I took a bunch of things to put on the free table and 99% of them WENT. I've decided to follow a cyber friend's example. I'm not reselling used items. I'm giving them away in the hopes of blessing other homeschoolers. Thanks for the example, Karen.
Oh - I was on a panel at MNO and had a blast. I have been thinking we'd participate in the group's history fair but alas - it's on Tuesday night...BIBLE STUDY NIGHT. Maybe churches down here don't have ladies Bible Study on Tuesday Nights - our group seems to plan a lot of things on that night. I missed the first year of MNO because it was on Tuesday Night. Ah well.
Jamin has only one more week to wait before he can see the oral surgeon. This has been a trial for him and for me. Maybe more for my MOTHER'S heart than him. He's handling it well. I, on the other hand, am storming the military insurance provider....it is simply not right that a minor have to put up with this sort of pain, for this long, because none of the oral surgeons want to deal with the military insurance provider. I'm not a fan of the whole concept of nationalized healthcare having seen how the government handles military care. LOL We have some GREAT docs, pharmacists, nurses and techs in the military - but the insurance provider - Tri-Care and United Concordia sure muddle things up.
That's a day!

DeEtta,
Don't get me started on United Concordia. James had a diagnostic visit to an orthodontist in town because our orthodontist left the Army and was not replaced. We asked in advance to be sure all would be covered and that we turned in the proper paperwork. It took almsot a month from submission of paperwork to receive the denial letter. Why were we denied? because the military dentist forgot to check a box... so I checked the box (emailed the dentist to let him know what I did) and resubmitted the paperwork.... how hard would it have been for them to call/email me with the reason... no instead they let it make its sweet way back to me without a full explanation. I had to call to find out what was "wrong"
Well, I certainly sympathize with Jamin, but every time we've had to do anything with dentist or doctor this last year, I've whined in my head (but not to Ian) 'I wish we had TRICARE!' Micaela's birth/NICU stay was 17000+ in 02, TRICARE covered everything down to my milkshakes. Now I'm paying for everything that's not absolutely standard- like say an ultrasound to diagnose a hemorrage. It's not like I just wanted to see a heartbeat!
Oh the DENTIST infuriates me much more than the CLINIC! LOL
I'll have to read further back to see what the problem is.. oral surgeon - maybe wisdom teeth? I'll keep reading.
Wisdom teeth....not sure I've blogged about that.
