I have a very healthy family. We are rarely sick and aside from when I gave birth to my three children, none of us have ever spent any time in the hospital. I wouldn’t say that we are overly cautious, but more that we are very lucky. I guess we have very good immune systems.

We have excellent medical insurance through my husband’s employer. We hardly ever have a chance to take advantage of using it, but that is just fine with me. I would like things to stay just the way that they are. It is great to have it, because you just never know.

It was funny when my son Reagan got a head cold and had to miss a day of school. As he had never missed for being sick before, his teacher called to make sure that it was really true and that he was not just trying to skip school. We all had a good laugh over that one.
