Potty Training, Computer Viruses And The Cost of Health Care

The only thing that these three things have in common is each one of them at this very moment is frustrating me beyond comprehension...matter of fact they all make me want to get in bed pull the covers over my head and pretend the world does not exist....if solely for a minute. Let us first start with potty training (the lesser of the frustrates)....okay so Paige is 2 1/2 now and we have been attempting potty training for a while...she will go potty all day long as long as you physically take her and put her on the potty, but she hasn't quite mastered the whole telling me when she needs to go potty...that is unless we are out somewhere with no potty in sight THEN all of a sudden she knows how to tell me. I was spoiled with Brooke....I am not ashamed to admit...because she was in day care....you would be surprised what day care teaches your child that you don't even think about....thanks to daycare I just remember her one day waking up fully potty trained...is it selfish to put Paige in daycare just until she is potty trained....okay...okay....well I guess she can't be in diapers forever (can she?) I imagine one day she will figure it out....so lets move on to computer viruses.....first let me just say UGGGGGGGGGGHHHHHH!!!!!!! My computer has come down with a virus and I have spent ALL day...no JOKE ALL day.....and $200 to try to fix it and let me just say it is not any closer to being fixed. I was too cheap to go and spend $400 on a new desktop, but apparently not too cheap to spend $200 on nothing....I am pure genius and (to put it very nicely) I am not happy about it at all. Which brings us to the last and probably most frustrating point (although that stupid virus is right on up there) the cost of health care.....oh the cost of health care...my husband just brought home the enrollment package for the new health care that his company has and to cover a family it is $250.73 A WEEK....THAT'S RIGHT A WEEK...that is OVER $1000 a month.....is it just me or is that completely and utterly insane?!?!?!???!!! Why oh why can't we live in a world where babies are potty trained, computer viruses are extinct and health care is free or at least a whole lot cheaper...that shouldn't be too much to ask for.
