Today was the deadline to get our benefit choices turned in at Jack’s work and we got it in just in the nick of time. I always hate this because it’s always bad news:

1. Premiums went up.
2. Co-payment went up.
3. Deductible went up.

This year was no different. We pay almost $200 a month for health insurance alone. We also pay extra for prescription, dental and vision insurance. Jack’s employer does offer fairly affordable life insurance plans and we have opted for those on both of us and the kids… But all these insurance premiums are driving me insane!

So when Jack was asking me about all of it today, I quacked at him. Twice. He didn’t even bat an eye. His response was: “duck duck duck duck duck duck duck duck duck duck Goose!” As though this was perfectly normal. I blame RSM.
