Being a grown up kinda sucks sometimes...

So yesterday I came home to, of course, the many bills every family deals with.Then I noticed a different one addressed to me...long story short it was from March when I, well, we will just say had a lot of health problems. I thought "oh maybe a few hundred". I wish, more like a few thousand. Our insurance Dustin's job offers is worthless and my job offers none. Well the letter said FINAL NOTICE, and this was the first one I got. Come to find out after calling the billing dept, they had been sending these bills the last 4 months to our old address.

Well anyway, I just thought I would complain about being stressed about paying that medical bill and others we still have. To put the icing on the cake they also let us know that it has to be paid off in a year...lovely! Of course then I thought of families that have to deal with medical bills like Josh Bucks family and Chrissy Briles. So maybe we aren't that bad off, although it may feel hopeless at the moment.

This brings up another question. Everyone always says "you're never ready to have children, or you will never be able to afford children but you just deal with it". We want kids but I don't want to "just deal with it". I want them to go to private schools like we did and have everything. Then I realize they come out babies and not teenagers :) Anyways, although Dustin and I are probably not the most open people (like at "share time" for the Kinnan thanksgiving...lol.) these are some random thoughts running through my head today as I watch Little House on the Prairie and wish we could all go back to simpler times!
