K4D Rising #4

I have to get this in.

W contacted me this afternoon. She wanted to talk about my girls not swimming everyday and their eating habits. She was upset that I had not made them swim every day. I said some days they aren't up for it and I also have a pool here that they use sometimes and I have been taking D7 on the nature trail and plan on taking D11 when she is past her time of the month. She said they need to be excercising anyways at the rec center and doing what all the other kids are doing. I didn't respond.

I said as far as eating goes, they don't eat that much. W said D7 is getting bigger and W said they need to be monitored then what they are eating at the rec center.

I said Ok. Thank you for telling me your concerns. She said ok.

Then she asked what we were up to this weekend. I explained what we are doing tonight and Sunday and I said Saturday is kind of up in the air depending on how D11 feels. W suggested I pick up some Midol for D11. So I did.

W's parents are out of town this weekend on a cruize. W is driving her moms car while W's van is in the shop for the second time. W started to tell me that she is worried about the money she may have to put into it and that she already put $400 into it and it still failed inspection. So she is waiting to hear back today. I said everything will be ok. Just pray about it. She said she is. She is just worried about it. I asked where she took the van and she said the dealership because she has a friend who got her a lower labor rate. I said good deal then.

That was pretty much the end of it. I don't know what she is worried about with as well off as she is. Maybe she doesn't want it to infringe on her lifestyle. I don't know. She hasn't been asking me for help on the health insurance that gets deducted out of her check each month. Other than that, I pay for half of the rest of the bills. I guess I consider that some form of child payment in the offsetting differences of salaries. Maybe she does to and thats why she hasn't asked for help in that area.

The deductible on that plan is nuts. Its like not even having health insurance unless you have a serious emergency like surgery or something. I think we would have been better off pocketing and saving the premiums in a separate account than paying for this plan. But she insisted, so ok.
