No Pictures Again?!?

I know! I have been struggling with a terrible migraine- this is Day 5. That's fun. No really. It's eff-yoo-en. Before that however, I have just been in a picture slump. And I need to get my rear in gear as Ev got a new dress from Granmaw and I know The Big G wants a picture of her in it; we are gearing up for Liam's last visit with a Social Worker,and that requires a specific set of pictures; and I just need to be documenting the cuteness that is Ev's toothless smile.  So yeah- I'll try to get right on that whole picture thing as soon as someone takes that ax out of my head...

I also have a question. Why does it seem like folks put in jobs never quite know how to do their own job?!?!?! This has affected my life in so many ways- I am afraid to count it all up. But let's see:
My favorite show of incompetence so far has been when my nephew's Day Care decided it would be ok to out him in the car of a 16 year old girl and transport him from one location to another- with no car seat available. OH! And no one bothered to call my sister either and the only way that we know about it and thus can do something about it, is because my Mom got back to the school before he did.

I also am loving how I had to go through the rigamarole of filing a grievance to the insurance company because of the inability of folks on that end to do their job. No really that was like 5 people messing things up and in reality one mistake was ongoing for nearly 4 years!

I am currently wrangling to get my son the Speech Therapy he needs and simultaneously attempting to get myself in to see a specialist. This means that I am in an  endless cycle of "he said, she said"  between four Doctor's offices and the Insurance Company. It goes like this, the Speech Facility needs A,B, and C done in a certain order but the "Referral Specialist" at the peds office is like "whaa? Huh??? Oh no. I am very good at my job, just look at me being brusk with you. " And I am calling and laying things out for her and the other office tells me that Step B is not done yet and ....it's endless. And this is not the first time that this Referral Specialist has sent a patient to this facility for speech. AAANNNDDD according to the Speech Facility, it's not the first time she has had to be walked through the process. Niiice.
Then I try to get my stuff in order, because It's been like 2 weeks and no Authorization yet. The Insurance says, "You don't have Authorization because we never got a request." GAAAHHHH!!!! So I call the Doctor's Office and SHE says, "Well, I have letters of Authorization already on file for you" and.... I went blind.

No really. I swear to you, I experienced 5 entire minutes of Hysterical Blindness. I am glad it cleared up because I don't know how I would have managed to call 500 people to get in to see a Hysterical Blindness Specialist while Hysterically Blind.
