Its getting better...

I got a call from the insurance company this morning. It was another agent not the one I have been dealing with (which in my opinion is a complete moron). She said she is handling the injury portion of my claim because I went to the doctor. She said she understood that I had to go to the emergency room. I said no I just went to my regular doctor the morning after. She asked about how much I had to pay and I told her it was a total of $45. She then proceeded to offer me a settlement that was way over the $45 I was owed "for my pain and suffering". I was so shocked I immediately accepted it. I didn't even think about asking someone first but I really think its ok. My back was messed up way beyond the accident and I just think the accident aggravated it. I don't think it actually did anything worse to it. So thus far everything seems to be going better. I got a rental car last night with no problems. Its a Dodge Caliber which I love! Now if everyone will just keep your fingers crossed that they don't screw me over on the damage to my car everything will be honky dory. They say they will be inspecting my car "sometime in the next couple of days".

Stayed tuned! I go to the fertility specialist tomorrow so I will update when I have a chance.

What a pain in the butt!

Ok so now I have talked to the insurance adjuster and given him my recorded statement BUT they can't get me a rental car until the old lady calls in and gives her recorded statement. Here is the problem. She has NO incentive to call in. Her car is fine. She can still drive around town even though she has no business driving in the first place. Yesterday I looked up the phone number to the owner of the car which happens to be her son. I politely told him that I really need his mother to call the insurance adjuster and give her statement so that I can get a car. He said he understands and that he would call and ask her to call them. Well I called again last night at about 5:15 because the guy leaves at 5:30 and he said he still hadn't heard from her! He told me that there would be people there today so if she called in she could leave her statement with them. Well I tried to call about 3 o'clock and got his voicemail and when I hit 0 to talk to an agent it said they were closed but yet his voicemail said they are open on Saturdays until 5:30! So if I couldn't get through she can't get through even if she was smart enough to hit 0 and not just leave a message. What a FREAKIN MESS!!!!

Crash, Bang, Smash Em Up!

I think your keys and drivers license should be taken away on your 80th birthday if there was no cause for it prior to that! My car now has a big hole in it and needs a face reconstruction because some moron lets his 82 year old mother drive around town when she has no business behind the wheel! Here is what happened...I left work for lunch. I went down the street to Taco Bell and was on my way back. As I am driving minding my own freakin business this old lady decides that her quilting can't wait for me to go by (she was turning into the quilting store) so she jumps out in front of me and I smash into her! So after the cops get there we pull our cars into the quilting store parking lot and when she gets out of the car she has to walk with a WALKER! OMG! So then once the cop comes to talk to me after talking to her I find out that her insurance card is EXPIRED! CRAP! He says that she says she has insurance but just doesn't have a current card. Well we shall see about that. I did find out today though that she does have insurance. I have called the insurance company and gotten the claim number, now I am just waiting on the dang insurance adjuster to call me back! Doesn't look like that is going to happen today! I didn't sleep worth crap last night. The last time I saw the clock it was 2:34AM! I had to get up at 6:30 to be at the doctor's office at 8. He gave me muscle relaxers and some steroids for my back. I am so sleepy I can barely function and I am grumpy and want to go home and go to sleep! Here is a picture of my poor car. The picture really doesn't do it justice. It looks worse in person.

Anyone know of a good OB/GYN???

I just got back from the OB/GYN. from having my "Well Woman" exam. I HATE THOSE THINGS!! I hate that I am going to have to replace my doctor. He is such a nice doctor. He will sit and talk and answer any questions I have. He makes you feel as comfortable as possible even though you are in a very awkward position. But for my own personal peace of mind and my family's I have to find a new one if I get pregnant. See, he delivers at Arlington Memorial and Medical Center of Arlington and my aunt who is a nurse practitioner said DO NOT GO THERE....lol....I take her advice seriously. After the issues with Addisyn when she was born and then there not being a NICU in the same hospital with my sister and Addisyn having to be taken away to another hospital I think I have learned a valuable lesson. I want a doctor that will deliver at Harris or All Saints DOWNTOWN. I really like Dr. Fielder but its not worth risking my potential child's life over. Anyone know of a good OB/GYN I could go see if I do get pregnant?

This time next week I will have news from the fertility specialist....so stay tuned!

Lack of sleep...

I don't know why but I am having the hardest time going to sleep these days. Even on Saturday I played with Tobey and Addisyn most of the day. You would think all the running and playing and nonstop action would have worn me out but no I even took 2 Tylenol PMs and still had trouble going to sleep! Its crazy! I don't know what to do about it. It has been almost 2am every night for the last 4 nights before I fall asleep. What is wrong with me?! I was reading online about insomnia and they say that stress could cause it. I can't think of anything that I am stressing about. Work is relatively quiet these days. There isn't anything going on around here out of the ordinary. Maybe its the upcoming doctor appts that I am stressing about? I don't know. Its not like I lay there and that is all I can think about. I haven't even really thought about it that much. I figure if I get all worked up about it its just going to make me all nervous for no reason. I don't think that we will get any life defining news at this appointment so there really isn't anything to worry about. I have flipped our mattress around, washed the sheets, and done anything else I could think of that may make me more comfortable and nothing is working. Poor Jason is afraid to move when he gets in bed because if I am on the verge of going to sleep and he moves and wakes me up I might go postal on him...LOL....Oh well, I am so tired right now maybe I will get some sleep tonight.

Its already starting

I know that none of this baby making process is going to be a lot of fun. OBVIOUSLY the fun part of it doesn't get the job done for us so we have to go a more scientific route. I was reading through my paperwork I have to fill out and sign about our medical history and I noticed that it says they need a current (within 1 year) yearly woman tests results. ICK! I haven't had one since March of 2007 which means I am overdue. ICK again! I HATE those things but I suppose I must get used to people being up close and personal to my personal regions if I plan to have a baby. So I sucked it up and made and appointment to have that done next week. Oh Joy!

So we are about to start a long road...

I have an appointment on October 1st with a fertility specialist. This could be a long, hard, and expensive road but I feel very strongly about having children of my own and I am going to do everything I can do make it a reality. People say that if I can't have children I can babysit theirs anytime and while I do appreciate it, its just not the same! I think about having a baby at LEAST once a day, most days more than that. I have even recently checked into adoption and it is just outrageously expensive so I want to go this route first. Please keep your fingers crossed, pray, wish, whatever you do, for us that this isn't going to be as difficult as everyone knows it could be. I will try and keep this updated to let anyone who wants to know what's going on.

I want to post the quote that really got me going on this...

" Never stop believing in something you can't go a day without thinking about... "
