Sunday stuff

Good afternoon!
       It was looking a little on the grey side this morning but now the sun is shining. I had my morning coffee and meds to try to get this headache under some kind of control. It's eased quite a bit at this point but some pain still lingers. Nevertheless I have things to tend to. I must get the kids things ready for the school week. Snacks have to be purchased and prepared. Outfits picked out, put together and put up. Life doesn't stop because you are in pain. Mothers know how it is; we must keep it moving in spite of. 
         Anyway, wishing everyone a great day and enjoy the sunshine and the warmth for it will soon be over. Fall and Winter is right around the corner, as you can tell by the cool evenings we've been having. 

God bless!

The Big Rip off called Ambulance

Good Morning!
           Okay I received the bill from my day at the ER a few weeks ago. I knew the hospital bill would be ridiculous because they are rip offs, always have been. What I didn't know was that when you are in an emergency situation and you take an ambulance you would be better off calling Uber! I had a bad migraine that day but I had to take my daughter to get her physical for Kindergarten. The doctor there didn't like how I was looking so she took my blood pressure. It was very very high so they called my dr who is also in the same building. Now my doctor told them to call an ambulance because I am stroke zone. Next thing I knew they came out to tell me the ambulance is on the way because my BP is dangerously high and I must be admitted at the ER now! I wasn't prepared for that because I still had kids at home to tend to and my husband was sleeping for work. My son was with me so he said he would drive me to ER but the dr's wouldn't allow it. They kind of forced the ambulance ride on me. They didn't do anything on the ride to the hospital except ask me a few health questions and gave me oxygen. Now can you please tell me how a 20 minute ride to the hospital warrants a price tag of $3,500? I'm not understanding that at all!!! I can see giving you money for gas and tolls and maybe a tip for hospitality but damn $3,500!! I didn't even get a glass of water! It should be illegal to do this! Needless to say, next time if I am having a damn heart attack I will call Uber or a cab before I call the ambulance! It's the biggest Rip off of all time!!! I am so done with them!! That is a shame before God and man to be charging folks that obscene amount!

Back To School Prepping

                                                   School Supplies & School Clothes

                          Oh my goodness, I cannot believe school starts on Tuesday! The kids are excited and I am curious to see how Faith takes on Kindergarten. She is so used to playing with older children so to see her interact and get used to kids that are 5 years old will be interesting. I am tired beyond measure running this one here and that one there every day. Isaiah with football, Dimitri with work, and I even had to drive my son Elijah back to college last week. I had a migraine at the time so driving to another state was not on my list of things to want to do, lol. I had to get my husband's things ready for work and cook lunch and dinner. Get my son to his football game which was about 35 minutes away, get back in time for him to shower, change, and eat. No time for sleeping and conquering the migraine at all. Just time to gas up the truck, pack the kiddies in and roll! I was drained but I kept my spirits up and made the best of the drive. It was just about evening so we didn't have much daylight to sightsee. The real estate in that area is gorgeous, might I add. Once I got home I just went to bed. I washed my face, brushed my teeth and just went down for the count!

          Anyway, today and the days prior to I have been running here and there gathering up school supplies for the kids and getting the school clothes. They still need raincoats, rain boots, and sneakers. I wanted to make sure they had an all white pair and an all black pair. Isaiah still needs two binders, which will cost about $40. He also needs a few two pocket folders; we pretty much have the rest he needs, oh yeah and a backpack! Faith needs a backpack and lunch pail as well. They all need more outfits.  Instead of calling it back to school it needs to be called Back To Broke! The supplies have to be a certain brand and everything! It's really ridiculous how much we are putting out in supplies! Okay, God knows I am so tired and I can't wait for my head to hit the pillow. First I have to take some Excederin to try and ease back some of the morning migraine. Good night and good morning, I should say because it's already after midnight and it's Monday! Enjoy your last day of summer everyone! God bless!
