OMG! I'm just so frustrated right now. Today has not been a good day.
First of all. Aspen didn't get her vaccinations over three weeks ago because she was sick. But at that appointment we also learned that our insurance didn't cover her vaccinations (well they will, but they apply it to the deductible and they would be full price and we would have to pay that full price) so we owed our pediatrician like $500 for her two month and four month vaccinations. They told us that we should take her to a Health Department because they have discounted vaccinations there and they would be cheaper. So I thought, fine, I'll take her there once she starts feeling better. Well 3 1/2 weeks later she is FINALLY feeling better so I go today after my classes to go to the Health Department for her shots.
On the way there I couldn't find the building so I accidentally passed it up. So I had to go to the next block to go drive back around. I came to a STOP sign and stopped, and started to go again. I didn't realize it was a two way stop and a guy in a truck hits my truck as he's coming through the intersection. GREAT! censored It's obviously my fault because I ran the stop sign at a two way stop. So we had to wait in the middle of the intersection for the police to come and take our information. Max thought it was exciting though because he got to see a police officer. LOL. The guy's truck wasn't hurt at all, and but now I have a big busted hole in my front bumper.
I finally get back in my truck and go back around the block and get parked (at a meter on the street) by the Health Department. I get Max and Aspen out of the truck and in the stroller. Oh I forgot to mention it's raining today so it's cold and wet and just a pain trying to get everyone out of the truck and into the building.
Once I get in the building I told the lady in the lobby that I was there to get some vaccinations. But she said that since I wasn't there for government help I couldn't get the vaccinations there. They only do it if you are there for assistance. I couldn't believe it! All that I had just gone through to get there and they wouldn't let us come in for the shots. GRRRRR!!!!
I called the pedi back and told them what was going on and they said that I could try some different places. They gave me a list of places to go to get the shots for a discounted price. I called several of them and nobody had anything available. I FINALLY got a place to give us an appointment and then they asked if we had insurance. I told her we did, but we needed to get them someplace else because they were too expensive with our insurance. She then tells me that they only give discounted vaccinations to people without any insurance or if your insurance won't pay for them at all. WTH!?! I told her that the insurance won't pay for them until we meet Aspen's deductible and that we will have to pay out of pocket for the more expensive ones at our pediatrician. She said she didn't think that we would qualify because of that. But she gave us the appointment anyways until I find out for sure.
Now I just don't know what to do. Our pedi doesn't want us to get them there because they have to bill us for them, but we can't go somewhere else for them because we have insurance even though they won't pay for them.
I'm not sure where I go from here. I guess just call the pedi back and see what they say about it.
On top of all that, I've been awake since 2:00am. I had a huge test to study for at 8am this morning. I wanted to study more last night after Max and Aspen went to sleep but Max was having trouble going to sleep. So I laid down with him and fell asleep myself. So I woke up at 2:00 this morning so I could study for the test.
I'm just so tired of today and want it to be tomorrow.

Wow, it sounds like you all haven't had the best week. Hopefully it gets better! That's crazy about the vaccinations. You'd think that there would be some place that would be able to help you. That's how my physical therapy is right now though so I know how you feel. Good luck!
