Been a little on the "you have gotta be kiddin" mentality for the last 2 days. I have been so angry about some things at home I've been almost speechless. Ok not almost. I have been so silent because...I guess you just get to a point when you know that if you open your mouth things will be said that can not be taken back.
More on that situation later.

Internet Nightmare
Today is Friday. I kept Ari tonight. We went to eat so she could watch her dad work, went to sonic because she loves the fact they bring it right to your car for you and watched "meet the robinsons". She was pretty tired but still awake after 9pm when nate came in.
I got new insurance on the car today...woohoo. My life is so exciting.
Went to Stephens show tonight. It was good I got it all on the camcorder. Totally new experience for me. He was nervous but did good.
I have my internet service through the cable company. It went out earlier today about 5pm (actually yesterday) I called because I thought it was my modem. NOT. They reset my entire account so when it came back up I got a screen that tells me to activate my account. My account already exists so naturally that didn't work. I call "tech support". Ok, get off the floor laughing. They reset the modem AGAIN. Now I have a 169. ip address they can't tell me how to fix. They told me.....You are going to love this one......to call microsoft. I told them they were nuts. Called back about 30 minutes later got someone else and they told me it was obviously a problem with all the customers that had their modems reset like mine was and for me to look on a specific website and it would walk me through the step by step process to pick up the correct ip address. HELLOOOOOO!!!!!!!!! no internet...that's why I called.
I could hear the grinding of gears over the phone as the tech support guy was thinking that one over.
Now if you are wondering how I am posting on this blog...well I'll tell ya. if you have a router with a saved Ip address then you can get on a wireless laptop and have internet. My desktop is still a 35lb paperweight until I get in there and tackle it tomorrow. Already have all the info to fix it. Why they couldn't just tell me over the phone I'll never understand. He even told me "we have to draw the line somewhere on helping people". I told him "hey, it was working fine til you messed with it."
Oh another thing. If you have that specific cable company that professes to offer the "ON DEMAND"......Does yours work? Mine hasn't for the entire time I've had cable. They keep telling me it is not available in my area YET. My son lived in minnesota, same cable company, their "ON DEMAND" wasn't working there either. How do companies get away with it?
ok, I'm done fussin.
More about my exciting life tomorrow.

I forgot I had this blog
I am a complete idiot. I totally forgot I had this blog. I worry about me sometimes...lol. I remembered it because my best friends daughter is in India and she is communicating with all of us here in the states through her blog.
Hey Meg!! I left you a post about your pics. They were great. Want to see more of the elephants and local color.
Well it is about 11:45 pm July 10th. I missed a dental appointment this morning. Lack of funds. I'll regret it because my tooth has been killing me for a few weeks.
I am in the process of starting a non-profit to honor my husbands memory, to help families that have been "hit" with cancer. It SUCKS!! (cancer, not the non-profit)
I will be posting as all this progresses. Right now my head is going to explode if I think about it much more tonight.
Will be posting on the progress
