FINALLY......

Internet is still down.

At times I think I may just fall over and die without internet and cable.

I feel so cut off from the world.

Sad but TRUE!!!

I have made many trips to the library but for some odd reason my boys can't seem to sit still for my allotted computer time of 90 minutes per visit so I end up there just about closing time and get about 10 or 15 minutes per day...ugh!!.

Why.....OH WHY!!!

Today I was asked to come watch my nephews for a few hours.

Let me think.......the boys LOVE to play with their cousins in the amazing yard plus Isaiah loves to play with the train table all the while I can be ON the internet OR watch cable and still have a view of the yard......hmmmm......

UMM.....YEAH YOU KNOW MY ANSWER HOW SOON DO I NEED TO BE THERE!!!!

So here I am peace, quiet, family fun and the internet.....ahhhh.....doesn't get much better than this!! What shall I do now....................

Sorry this is so late guys but our internet is down and has been for days!

I finally decided I could not take the withdrawal from the internet and am at the library using the computer!

5 happenings of this week

5. We went to a great orthopedist and found out about the "abnormal STUFF" in both of his feet.

4. Isaiah finally had his speech evaluation and will be having speech therapy once a week for 30 minutes. More on that in another post soon.

3. In an effort to save money, we switched cell phone companies. Savings of......$157 PER month!! Woohoo! Go me!! I had the turn off scheduled for the 1st; HOWEVER, I guess it was entered wrong or since I am switching they are mad because they turned it off TODAY!!!!! So I was home with NO technology whatsoever. No phone, no cable and no internet! The shock alone could be life threatening!! I had to go to the new phone company and start the turning on process earlier so I had ANY contact with the outside world.

2. I jumped at EVERY SINGLE PHONE CALL just waiting on the lady to call from my interview. Please call please.....insanity is setting in!

#1

In an effort to save money, we are switching cable and internet companies. SERIOUSLY this is irritating at best!!! The savings will be great IF IT EVER GETS FINISHED!!! Again I had the turn on and turn off dates overlapping to avoid outages BUT the turn on has now been put off for three freaking days!!! I shouldn't complain too much since the cable in two of the bedrooms is still working. Why? I haven't a clue but I am not going to complain about that!! I am just realizing just HOW addicted I am to DVR. I think DVR was created for PARENTS. Watching TV without the ability to stop, pause, rewind is seriously different!! Watching commercials is quite an adjustment too!! I NEVER watch commercials! EVER!! I have the last three days though. I won't lie I have change the channel accidentally a number of times due to thinking I was fast forwarding and actually hitting channel up!! Poor me! Poor poor pitiful me!! NO INTERNET is debilitating at best and alone can cause insanity. I often wonder if I am in electronic withdrawal or experiencing slow painful death by lack of internet, cable and DVR. Is that possible?

AND ANOTHER ONE JUST FOR FUN....

My cousin Kris had......wait well HE didn't have the baby but Starr had baby Nug yesterday!!

Baby girl born at 12:26pm weighing 6lbs 1 oz and measuring 19in long; however, she remains nameless and is currently called Baby Nug. I will post about her if I EVER get internet again or when I return to the library since my time on this computer is almost UP!!!

SICK TO DEATH OF COX

Many of you may already know I think COX sucks!! They are out here to fix our Internet service about every three months. Getting a little old and I would love to have it fixed once and for all. We have cable running all around the house that isn't even hooked up to anything b/c they run this and that over and over. They even said "once we bury the lines (aka rip up the backyard) you should never have a problem again" ~ wrong!!! This past episode has really ticked me off and it better be FIXED or I am switching!!

On August 20th some head guy came out and said a main line needed to be ran from the cable box through the attic directly to the computer. Doesn't sound real direct to me but oh well! He couldn't do it that evening because of the heat restrictions they could only do attic work first thing in the morning. We scheduled the attic work for the following Sunday Aug 24th at 8am. He had asked about Saturday and I specifically said the only morning we could do it at that time would be Sunday because we would be in Miami for a game EARLY on Saturday. Ok ~ appt for 8am Sun the 24th! On Sunday the 24th I waited and waited and finally called that afternoon ticked b/c I knew they had a heat restriction so they were going to make me reschedule. I talked to the lady who said they had called 4 times and left 2 messages with no return call so they would have to reschedule for the following weekend when we would be out of town. I rescheduled then checked my voicemail which I never do!! The voicemails were not from that morning but the morning BEFORE when they were told I would be out of town and the appt was supposed to be for the 24th. I quickly called them back to complain but still couldn't get anyone out do to our work schedule and trip to Branson until 2 weeks later. Not happy! Fast forward to two weeks later on a Sunday morning....cox man arrives and after looking everything over he says, "it doesn't need to be ran through the attic they just have the wrong cable attached for the Internet". After me telling him over and over that the HEAD guy said it NEEDED a direct line through the attic and I would think 12 cable guys would have noticed if it was "just" a wrong cable attached, I got absolutely no where other than his "word" and reassurance that it would be FIXED now. Fast forward 10 days later to my next angry call to cox wondering why I am paying for Internet that is always messed up and I needed it fixed for good or I am switching I get yet another appt for this past Monday. A very nice man by the name of Dean came out and after fiddling around for awhile tells me we need a direct line run through the attic. Hmmm...where have I heard that before?! Since the attic work heat restriction is still in force Dean made my appt for TOMORROW, SUNDAY, OCTOBER 12TH at 8am. I would've made the appt for today but we did not have a football game and had made plans for the entire day! Fast forward to this morning SATURDAY OCTOBER 11TH with a pounding knock at the door............cox man! I say to him "our appt isn't until TOMORROW!" He said, "well they said to come out for your appt. Would you like me to call and reschedule for you?" My answer, "No because they will probably set it for two weeks from now I would just really like for them to show up for a SUNDAY appt on SUNDAY! If I wanted a SATURDAY APPT I WOULD HAVE BOOKED ONE! BESIDES YOU WOULDN'T NEED TO RESCHEDULE SINCE MY APPT ISN'T UNTIL TOMORROW ANYWAY! Come on in!" I bet he felt really welcome! I felt bad for him but it is irritating b/c if we had left then they would've pulled the crap that we weren't there for the appt like before. Maybe they have their own computer problems that need to be fixed first. Two hours later he was done and we were two hours late for Kitefest ~ not happy! They must not have kids that FLIP OUT AND BUG THEM EVERY TWO SECONDS when they tell them they get to go somewhere and then make them wait TWO hours like my children did!!! Long story short, sorry April, the cable is SUPPOSEDLY "fixed" and ran through the attic but we will see. If this doesn't work then I will switch but honestly I don't think there is much they could do that they haven't already done!
