Yep, I’m officially sick now too. My head hurts so I don’t feel like looking at numbers to discuss plans for our 2007 spending. As soon as I can think a little better I will. But, there have been some interesting updates to quickly report:
1.) My employer has decided to MATCH the 401(k) 50% up to 6% of pay. While happy about the change, I am not happy about switching from what they originally had stated and now I only have a few days to make a decision. The employer match changes EVERYTHING.
2.) My health insurance does have a grace period, so we’ll be fine with the cash crunch. I’ll pay the bill a little late.
3.) Bad news…my son will not be added to our health insurance policy until March 1. He lost his state-sponsored insurance at the end of 2006. I’m wondering if I should get some short-term health insurance for him in the meantime. Kids are kids, after all.
4.) We spent a bit of money with my son being sick. I sent my husband out to get a Vicks Vaporizor, rent a few videos (I originally told him to buy one but he stopped me) and lots of fruit. I didn’t even think about our bank account or how much things would come to. I didn’t care. All I want is my little guy feeling better.
5.) I’m happy to report that he is feeling better today. His fever broke and his coughing has subsided. He’s home from school again today, but I’m sure he’ll be able to go back tomorrow. Since his sickness only lasted a couple days, I’m hoping mine will too.
