Well last night I spent a great deal of time in the ER. My 8 year old has pnemonia. Also, his insurance will not pay for one of the prescriptions until I can get the doctor to fax over a realese on Monday so I had to pay for that too. Woohoo! Not. Luckily Walgreens will reimburse me after they get the go ahead from that insurance comapny. He gets his insurance through his disability. I thought a perscription from a DR was saying that it is important that the patient has this. Gah! Stupid government people!!

I had a flat tire this morning that ousted my bank account for a pretty penny becuase they are "special" tired. Somehting that the car dealer left out when selling us our van.

I swear I don't know when this is ever going to let up. I am about to go insane I think. Any new cast of a woman running naked screaming in the streets is NOT me!

At least all of my immediate bills are paid.

Good Grief!! You do have a full plate! I hope your son is doing better. I know how the ER visits go-we did that for 14 years with my youngest.

You are right, we have been through-the insurance doesn't cover this thing- had my doc fire off a letter saying he needs it.But in the meantime you are stuck with paying for it.

Sorry about your tires Sad

You and your family will be in my prayers--yes it will end- sometimes it just doesn't feel that it will--Hang in there..karen

I still haven't taken that bill to the school for my other son. Wow it sounds like my kids are abused or something. *sigh*. I need a bigger house and a better school district!

I am sorry to hear about all of your troubles FYI you are in my prayers. I hope that your son gets better and the insurance co doesn't jack you around.

Even though I had a very bad experience with Walgreens and my MS medication (which by the way costs $8,750.00 per month) they will work with you and refund your money right away.

They filled my medication at the wrong mcg level which I am only 100 lbs and should have only received 22 mcg instead of the 44 mcg, they refused to take it back and my sister who is a nurse had to come over and get rid of half of the medication in the syringes for that month.

So I have my prescriptions filled at Shopko and am much happier. Keep your chin up things will get better:)

Wow Ladybug,...that's terrible...and they owuldn't take it back??? I wouldn't shop there anymore either...and I would have been writing letters all over the place!!!!

Yes they continued calling me for about 6 mos after that when I changed to Shopko and I had had it and lit into this poor woman about it and she said that she was going to take this information up with her supervisor. Yeah right, never heard another word from them ever again. I refuse to even shop at Walgreens anymore. They pissed me off. They lost alot of money when they wouldn't take the wrong medication back that's for sure.

I think there pharmacist must have been sleeping during his shift:) I bet some heads rolled on that one.

Good luck to you FYI. I remember what that great Bay Area lyricist Robert Hunter once said (lyricist for the Grateful Dead), something like, "sometimes things happen just to mess with you"....
