Moods

I'm going to be honest here, I am in a bad mood. "Why?" you may ask. The answer: "I don't know." Honestly, I have no real reason to be in a bad mood. I am tired, yes, all the time. I mean ALL of the time. I think that is probably part of the basis of the bad mood. I can't kick being tired, no matter how much sleep I am getting. It's probably fatigue actually. (And yes, mom, I think you are probably right and I should look into it.) The problem with that is the issue of having no health insurance for myself. Anyone have any personal health insurance ideas that are affordable on a teachers' salary? It is only me who doesn't have insurance. The hubby has it through the school district (for free) and the kids have the state health insurance (because we only make a teachers salary!) That leaves me, uninsured, because it would cost around $400 per month just for me on the school districts' plan. I know, crazy, huh? So I don't go to the Dr. except for my yearly girly physical which I pay for out of pocket (at least $300+).

Anyway, back to the mood. It's bad. I'm not being mean or yelling or anything. I just want everyone to leave me alone and I'm not very much fun to be around at the moment. I have a ton to do and I keep putting the poor woman who said she would cut my hair off because things keep coming up that get in the way, like math night at the school tonight. That was exciting (can you tell that I'm being sarcastic?). I know, its sad, my bad mood is coming through in my writing.

Enough about that. I'll get over it, I'm sure. Tomorrow I am going to help with counting up the fundraiser money with the PTA in the morning and then I am taking the Bug to playgroup at the park around lunchtime. Did I mention that I have a headache? I do. And a little bit of a sore throat. Maybe that has something to do with the mood. Huh.

Do you know what I like? I like bread. It's soft and yummy and comforting. I know, that was really random. My brain is wandering now and I'm ready to try to relax for the night, so I'll be signing off for now. Buhbye.

Glad you like bread....
Um, as far as Dr. visits go, the cheapest thing I can think of is to just put aside some money (you decide the amount) every month in a separate account to be used only for your own medical expenses. You'll spend less per month than on the insurance and every penny you put in you get back, unlike insurance that you pay tons into and receive only a percentage back on your medical needs.
Along with that look into catastrophic injury insurance and/or accident insurance that will cover major injuries and sometimes even terminal illnesses. It's usually a lot cheaper since it is only for the big stuff that you may not be able to cover yourself.

I know how you feel. My husband and brother own their own business together so we had to get insurance on our own. It's about $400+ a month for 5 of us but the deductible is $2500 each. I am lucky in that I have a friend that is a nurse practitioner and she kind of helps us out every now and then.
Bad mood days, how can you not be when you don't feel good.
Thanks for stopping by my blog☺
