I'm pretty sure that Sebastian has the flu, or something resembling the flu.
He's had a high fever since late Friday night, he's been exhausted, achy from head to toe, no appetite at all, and just plain miserable feeling and miserable to be around.
I started to feel like crap on Saturday afternoon, I blew it off at first, blamed it on my back, but by nighttime, I felt like he did and I had a fever to boot.
My fever seems to have gone, so maybe I don't have what he has, (because he still has a fever as of bedtime) but for the entire day on Sunday, I was downright horrible.
I had a massive migraine, my entire body hurt, I was coughing a little bit, my nose was a bit stuffed up, and I didn't want to eat anything at all, not even look at food.
Mark went and bought him and Sebastian some subs from Publix for dinner, Sebastian only ate half of a half of it before puking that up, and just smelling their subs made me puke.
3 times.
I felt so freaking horrible, felt like I was going to die at any minute, that once I started feeling like I could sit up, I went to one of those get free instant life insurance quotes here websites.
I still have not bought any life insurance.
I talk about getting it all of the time, I've even made quite a few phone calls to insurance companies about it, but I just have never actually taken the time to buy it.
I know that I need it, I know that it is something that I absolutely have to have for my sons in case something bad happens to me, but buying it just freaks me out.
I don't know, it's like if I actually purchase a life insurance package, it's like I'm going to jinx myself or something.
I don't believe in jinxes and stuff, but a part of my brain says 'if you buy life insurance, you are going to die much quicker than you wanted to/plan to, like tomorrow.'
Seriously, my brain gets all stupid like, I just start thinking completely irrational.
I know that buying it is not going to cause me to die soon, but that's how my brain reacts.
Totally stupid huh?
I know it is, I know it's stupid, but I can't help it.
I know I can't be the only one who thinks totally crazy stuff like this, or am I?






I see this whole thing as the opposite, that if you DON'T have life insurance, something might happen and your sons would be left in the lurch.
You know the whole saga of Mike's health issues. Well, he actually has TWO life insurance polices. One is through the IEEE (electrical engineers trade organization) that he has had for over 20 years now. Originally, his ex-wife was the beneficiary, after the divorce, it was his mother, and now it's me. He also has life insurance through his work, which would pay out even more than the IEEE policy. Basically, if he did croak, if he were still working at his current job at the time, I'd pretty much be set for life.
I feel that if he didn't have all of this insurance, he might well have croaked, and then I'd have to get a job and probably a roommate to keep going. I kind of see it as like bringing an umbrella to a ball game when there is a threat of rain. If I have the umbrella, it doesn't rain.
Just something to think about. Hopefully you can find some affordable life insurance, it can't hurt.
Hope you all feel better soon!
Oh I know that I need it for the boys, I know it, I just have this fear that like the day after I get it, something bad will happen to me.
It's just the way my luck goes ya know?
Like I finally get ahead on all of my bills, get a nice big payout from work, and then bam! Something huge breaks like the AC unit again, and there goes all of my money.
I am terrified that the day after I get it, I'll get hit by a bus or something...LoL
Sorry to hear that your sick. I hope you get better soon.
I think of crazy stuff like that all the time. I know it is irrational, but my mind has a mind of it's own. No matter how much I tell myself that the stuff is not going to happen, it does no good. I have panic attacks over some of the stuff. It really sucks.
