Tuesday, Wednesday, Thursday, Oh My!

It's St. Patrick's Day today. Yes, I am wearing green. I spent the last 2 days at home taking care of Vallerie while Eddie was sick.

Monday night I made a couple things for Vallerie. I made an apple toy, and a little snuggle blanket with ribons so she can hold on to it. My pictures are not of the best quality as they were taken on the cell phone.

The apple has part of a wipes bag in it so it crinkles. I didn't do that great of a job, but it was my 1st try, so I was pretty happy with the results. I plan on trying again (and doing a better job) The little blanket thing is only about 7"x10", so it's pretty small.

I added these to my Craft Blog in case anyone wanted more details... Links to the tutorials I used are there.

Tuesday:

Stayed home and watched Vallerie, didn't do much else. I think I got to nap, but I can't remember. Read some of my book.

Wednesday:

Stayed home again, Eddie was a little better, but not great. I got some laundry done. Talked to my mom :)

She's visiting next month. I am excited! She's getting Vallerie a playpen for her birthday present (it's coming early) Also, she's getting a baby food book with a bunch of baby food recipes. I can't wait for that! We've wanted to make our own food for her, so this will be just what we need.

Our internet went out last night, so Eddie reset the router. Well, in order for our internet to work again we need to reset something else, and that needs to be done on a computer. As stated before, our home computer is being fixed, so we don't have one. Eddie called Frontier and got the run around for about 2 hours. They kept transferring him and giving him new #'s to call. About the 6th # they gave him, he was right back at the beginning. He was pissed, as was I. We pay $15 a month for premium tech support (we got conned into it, and can't cancel within a certain time frame or we get charged a bunch of $$) No one he talked to could find us in their system. We're paying them for service! Why can't they find me?? If I didn't pay the bill they would find me for sure.

Thurs (Today):

A little sleepy today, I read last night before I went to bed and stayed up way too long. I finally go into it. It took a while, but I am almost done. I have only a few more chapters, then I can get to the 5th book in the series. (The Earth Children) Very good books!! After the 5th book, I can go out and get the new one. It was supposed to come out this month, not sure if it has yet.

Lots of work to do today, which is great. I love being busy, it makes the day zoom by. It's supposed to be nice out today, maybe I will go on a walk when I get home and get Vallerie out in the sun.

2:21 PM

Eddie called the internet company again and got the run around for another 3 hours or so, still no one could help him. His sister brought over her laptop so he could try and fix the problem himself, but he couldn't connect to the internet. He finally got fed up and quit.

I ended up doing the live chat on their website, and found out that there was an outage in out area, and "the engineers are working to get it resolved as quickly as possible" Grr. So, I was allowed to take my work laptop home and fix what we can once the internet works again. (hopefully tonight) What I don't understand is why no one told Eddie there was an outage...

Because I work in customer service, it really pisses me off when other companies customer service sucks. I hate calling and being answered by an automated machine. No, you can not help me automated woman, let me talk to a real person, preferably someone who speaks English that I can understand. Do not transfer me to 500 departments, and give me a bunch of other #'s to call. It's ridiculous!

We will have to see how things go tonight. Eddie said that he was about done being "stay at home dad". I told him I couldn't do anything about that, and it was up to him to make that change, but I would help where I could. I hate it when he gets like that. I want him to be happy all the time and love his life. Sometimes I don't think he likes it at all. I try my best to be there for him and not be mean to him, I don't think I realize my tone all the time. I have been trying to think before I speak, so I know that I am not being a jerk for no reason.

At any rate, it should be an interesting evening. Might be a good time to drink some of that Peach Schnapps I bought last week.
