Earthlink

Saturday, September 30th, 2006

So we signed up with Earthlink on Sept. 15th. I was told 2 weeks and we should be flipped over. Yeah, right. Called yesterday and was told to call today. Called today and still have no ETA. They are waiting on AT&T. That is crap. I don’t blame Earthlink. I have changed phone companies before and this is the same crap I had to deal with before with them. It just stinks. I am now paying $50 a month for my DSL (instead of $14.95 when I was under contract). I could just scream. I now have to all again on Monday. Like I don’t have a life.

Date Night

Friday, September 29th, 2006

After my workshop tommorrow, Bill and I have planned a Date Night. Yes, we actually are going to spend some time ALONE together and (hopefully) enjoy one another’s company. Here’s the problem – we have no idea what we are going to do. I am looking for any and all suggestions here.

Haircuts

Wednesday, September 27th, 2006

My sister in law is such a dear and came over to give us all haircuts. I think she got more than she bargained for. Madison wanted her to just play in her room with her. It was pretty cute. Madison giggled the whole time she was here. Now, Madison just got her bangs trimmed and Bill just got a trim. I did a major change. Lets just say like 7 inches off the back and 4 on the sides. I’d like to surprise you all when I see you so I won’t say any more.

Doctor Visit

Wednesday, September 27th, 2006

Madison had her check up this morning. Her chin is healing nicely. We also got brand new underwear today too. I let her pick them out. Hopefully this helps with our potty training. Back on Monday to get the stitches out. Should be fun!

Should Children Witness Childbirth?

Tuesday, September 26th, 2006

Another email delight:

Due to a power outage, only one paramedic responded to the call. The house was very dark so the paramedic asked Kathleen, a 3-yr old girl to hold a flashlight high over her mommy so he could see while he helped deliver the baby. Very diligently, Kathleen did as she was asked.

Heidi pushed and pushed and after a little while, Connor was born. The paramedic lifted him by his little feet and spanked him on his bottom. Connor began to cry. The paramedic then thanked Kathleen for her help and asked the wide-eyed 3-yr old what she thought about what she had just witnessed.

Kathleen quickly responded:, “He shouldn’t have crawled in there in the first place……smack his butt again!”

If you don’t laugh at this one, there’s no hope for you!
