High Speed Conspiracy

Okay, so I am beginning to think that I will never get high speed Internet. I have been disappointed again by my soon to be ISP. The plan was they would be here today from 8-12 p.m. Emma and I have hung around all day and then they called and said the tech is running behind on his job and it will be at least 12:30 p.m. Well, excuse me that I have other plans and cannot hang around all afternoon like I have all morning. I explained to the person calling and to the CSR at Charter that this is the second time that we have been inconvenienced and I am a bit unhappy with the relationship that we have started. Of course I was given the standard "we are sorry" and so now I have to wait another week for them to come. Customer service is certainly a thing of the past and it drives me crazy. If they don't show next week then I will just continue with my regular old slow dial up. Needless to say I have not been a very happy customer this morning.

My afternoon will be spent at the orthodontist office and I couldn't think of anything I would rather be doing...... If my son's oral hygiene demands that I be called back to speak with the orthodontist and told that he is not brushing properly (as it did the last visit) I may come home without him. Or at least he will be beaten within an inch of his life! We have had braces since third grade and I will be so glad when it's over. I count down each month how many more payments on those blasted braces and let's just say that in August, I will be shouting and praising God when they are paid for!

Emma has been very busy this morning. We have played Lego's, xylophone, dishes, dolls, and whatever else she has wanted to play. She is so funny about wanting to eat bananas and after having a couple of days of constipation (her, not me) I have decided that 5 bananas in 2 days is far too many. I have had to cut her off and she just looks at the basket and makes her pitiful Horseshack sound. I think she could eat 5 in one day if I would let her.

Well, that sums up my exciting day so far in the frigid south. 11 degrees this morning and forecast to be 3 in the morning. Now if we could just get some snow so my kids could enjoy it.

I will be enjoying the evening to come with Melissa and Angel. We all have Gym bucks to spend and are heading to Gymboree tonight and have cheesecake at The Cheesecake Factory afterwards. I am really looking forward to our little girls night out
