Even if you decide not to take the job, I have found that having an interview is helpful for me. I interviewed for a job that was out of my driving range, but it was a good experience. Good luck, either way. Sending good thoughts your way. Even if you decide not to take the job, I have found that having an interview is helpful for me.

Poor Colin, I hope he gets better fast. It's the worst thing when they are sick. And insurance? I have no idea. Good luck. (((hugs))) for you.

For you and Chris, a very high deductible HSA type plan with Blue Cross should only cost about $160/month total, and while it won't cover much, it will get you the "insured" rate for anything you have to pay for out of pocket, plus protect you from total financial loss in the event of a serious illness. Better than being completely uninsured, in any case. Will keep you guys in our thoughts and prayers. Consider applying for CHIP/Medicaid for the kids:

So I understand, it's one of those times you almost wish you were 20 years back and didn't have to worry about any of these things. But then you look at the children, and find a way. WE WILL find a way somehow. My advice...take it or leave it...lol...don't do the drive unless you have to. I am so relieved that I have finally gotten rid of that drive for the first time in 10 years! The only thing I miss is my talks with Piper. Yep, pouring here too litterally and emotionally.

I am having a bit of a problem handling my own stresses at the moment, so you are certainly not alone in your non-ability to brush things off.
