Living without medical insurance

My husband changed jobs recently in order to better himself and our family. Unfortunately with all of the benefits associated with this new job, the biggest downside is that we have to wait 3 months until his medical benefits kick in. This would be much easier to manage if we were a younger single couple without children. We have to beautiful healthy kids, but there is still so much worry that something will go wrong. I don't watch the news (because it's too depressing) so I don't know much about Obama's health plan. All I know is that we don't make enough money to pay for Cobra insurance and we make too much money to qualify for any type of discount medical insurance. So the only option we were left with was to ride out the 3 months without any coverage. So far it hasn't been that bad, but the sleepless nights or worry are taking it's toll. I try to just go day by day to forget about it and hope the three months passes quickly.

omg I've turned into my parents

Recently in the car, my son wanted to put on his ipod through the speakers for all of us to hear. He put on a song from a band called "Disturbed"...I didn't recognize it at first and so I asked him to change it to something we all knew and could enjoy...then - wait - I think I do know this song! My husband and I just looked at each other as it started to sink in. It was their version of "Land of Confusion" by Genesis! Lmao! My husband and I started cracking up and singing along only to our son's digust! Haha I had to tell him to "get his own music" just like my parent used to say to me!
