It's a guilty pleasure...don't judge me. :)

30 Day Music Challange - Day 12

Day 12 is a song from a band that you hate. I can't think of a band that I hate, but here is a song from someone that I dislike...a lot.

Baby by Justin Beiber

Enough said.

I don't necessarily hate this band, but this next song makes me crazy!

Back Seat by New Boyz ft. The Cataracs and Dev
The lyrics of this song say, "so I can be a back seat driver" and all I can think is Bitch! If you're a back seat driver your ass is gonna walk! I hate nothing more annoying than someone trying to be a backseat driver! This song makes me crazy!

30 Day Music Challange - Day 11

A song from my favorite band is day 11 in the music challenge.

My all time favorite band is Dave Matthews Band. I have seen them play live 7 times. I was the weird kid in the 4th or 5th grade who liked the Backstreet Boys, but was OBSESSED with Dave Matthews Band!

Don't Drink the Water by Dave Matthews Band

I love this song! I hope you enjoy it.

30 Day Music Challange - Day 10

Day 10 of the 30 day music challenge is a song that makes you fall asleep.

I hate the quiet! I can't fall asleep when it is quiet. Too bad my husband hates noise when he is trying to sleep. So...I listen to my ipod on the nights when the silence feels a little too immense.

I love to listen to this one as I drift off

The Trapeze Swinger by Iron and Wine

Then, if I really can't sleep I go to this one

Gopala Hare by The Best of Wah

30 Day Music Challange - Day 9

Day 9 of the challenge is a song you can dance to. It is no secret...I CAN'T dance! I can do the concert dancing...you know where you bounce up and down with you hand in the air. But really...that's the extent of my dancing.

Not for a lack of trying either. I took dance classes in middle and high school. I can follow a choreographed dance...kind of, but really...it's not pretty.


Here are two songs that I can dance to...

and

There was a dance I learned in high school to this song too, so I'm sure it would come back to me...maybe.

So there you have it...I am a terrible dancer.

Military Insurance in a Civilian World

The last two weeks I have been on an insurance crusade.

We have military insurance and it is a joke! In the civilian world doctors don't take our insurance because the insurance company is notorious for not paying. This makes the list of doctors who participate rather short.

In January when I was pregnant I found out that there is only one OB in Evansville that is in our network. I made an appt with them. From the start I had nothing but trouble with his office. I called a few weeks before my appt because I was spotting and they blew me off. It took 2 more phone calls that day before they agreed to do an ultrasound. It took me 2 days and 5 phone calls to get my u/s results. They didn't want to do bloodwork. They insisted I was fine.

I was sitting in Dr. Asshole's office while he was telling me that I could be miscarrying or it could be an ectopic pregnancy and he said, "it is not my job to save babies. I know a lot of people think it is, but that's not my job. I don't save babies for a living."

Really?! It's not his job to save babies? Then what is his job?

Now, I am rational person and I know that in many/most cases an early miscarriage like mine can't be "fixed". Many times there isn't anything a doctor can do, but to tell me his job isn't to save babies? Out of line if you ask me! What if I hadn't miscarried and something happened when I was further along in my pregnancy?

So, this week I have been trying to get a new OB approved from my insurance. I had my primary doc put in a referral and I submitted all the appropriate paperwork.

Yesterday I got a letter from my insurance company saying that they are denying my request and they are "redirecting" me to Dr. Asshole. Needless to say...I was pissed!

I called them up and I was informed that part of my insurance agreement is that I will drive up to an hour to see a specialist and there 2 other doc's within an hour of me. They think it is ok to have to drive an hour to deliver a baby (when the time comes of course). Not to mention, these docs are in a completely different state!

I explained to the man on the phone what happened with the last OB and he said that requesting an out of network provider will not be approved simply because I thought the network doc had bad bedside manner.

What I don't understand is how another girl that lives 6 blocks from me and has the same insurance as me got a non-network doc approved. She never even had to endure Dr. Asshole, she requested a different doc based on my experience.

After 2 phone calls and 2 supervisors they resubmitted my request to a "tier 2" manager.

Maybe I am out of line, but I do NOT want to drive an hour to see a doctor and I ABSOLUTELY WILL NOT GO BACK TO DR. ASSHOLE!!!!!

I will call everyday, like I have been for 2 weeks until I get what I want! It should not be this difficult to get decent health care.

30 Day Music Challange - Day 8

Day 8 of the song challenge is a song that you know all the words to. I know all the words to a lot of songs, but these two always makes my husband laugh...and I could really use a good laugh today!

Black Betty by Ram Jam

I know every word.
