It was a bad bad phone conversastion that I may or may not go into later. Up until that conversation, winter here had been moving along amazingly well. I was making ginger bread men, my husband was stuck in a couple day long period of complete adoration for me and all the kids were healthy.....xmas seanon was looking damn fine. Then I got the call this afternoon from a collections agencies about a med bill that we were in the process of contesting with our insurance company. Now if we don't pay the whole thing off by the end, of the month its going " down on our permant record" Oh yeah. The collections company called Sean before they did me.....woops. So somtime after lunch I got the completely enraged Sean call. I tend to deal with these things in a much more mellow way though and after my intial panic I realize we'll survive and I keep on taking steps. So I kept making cookies, ginger bread men with coffee frosting ( pics later) and then I threw myself into making spicy Italian meatballs covered in homemade marinara which is currently sizzling in the oven and smelling so good. Sandia was complaining about her head hurting and I realized that out of nowhere she had a 101.8 degree temp. Oh what one phone call can do, I will of course keep blaming anything that goes wrong with our week/end on that call cause we were headed to a beautiful place family tempermantly speaking. oh whatever, I'll try to come back and post photos later. Wish us luck dealing with the medical mess Sean's insurance company has created for us. Love and hugs everyone.
