We were all down sick....

Posted in Family

......for a good week. We had that upper respiratory stuff. It didn't help that I started with a 2 day migrain and ended with a 2 day migrain. I can still feel it in my chest, but everyone is doing much better.

Saturday was our piano recital, dd-7 went with daddy, while I stayed home with  a migrain. Not only did I miss her playing, but I didn't get to play my recital. I would have been the only adult with 11 other kids. No pressure there. Now I'm trying to get in contact with the teacher and let her know we won't be doing lessons for awhile with my husband out of work. By the time you figure gas and cost of lesson, were talking a good $100 a month. I'll continue praticing and teaching dd-7. Then after he gets a job, well start up again. Luckly she is a very understanding person and does this because she enjoys it, not because she has too.

My husband is doing a great job looking for work and taking care of things like medical. He's spending 8 hours a day working on this. We found out that all this time we had insurance through the military and didn't even know about it. That we could have used them as a second insurance to cover cost. Bummer. Thats the bad thing about living in an area with no military. In Washington, I would have found out about this just by talking to other retired military wives right away.  I found out that the meds I take for migrain will be $9 for 90 day supply. It has been costing me with insurance $50/month. This is good.

Sorry to hear that you all have been sick, but glad you are better now.

We are blessed that Amber's violin lessons are only $12/wk and we live only 1/2 mile away - we could walk if we wanted to (but we don't want too - hehe). Even so, we have talked about perhaps next fall just limiting her lessons to every-other week as she is pretty advanced (has taken lessons for 7 yrs) and it's not like she has an orchestra to play in nor does she want to go professional. It's good you can play some and help your daughter. I've always wanted to learn how - took lessons for 6 months about 25 yrs. ago.

And that is great about your medical discovery and the low meds cost!!! Medical can sure break a person. That's being very resourceful of your husband!!!

Wishing you all the best - and with the job hunt too! Is he looking for a position as a driver again?
