I can't read Cher's yellow font on the white background on the BlackBerry (both laptops are malfunctioning and have been for a few days) but I also forgot to add that my 7 year old is Autistic and isn't going to understand for awhile yet. He wakes himself up sometimes with nightmares of dying and cries himself to sleep saying he doesn't ever want to die. It's almost an obsession with him.

Another funeral (but this one is in Michigan and was expected). Not looking forward to explaining to the boys. Especially my 7 year old who is scared to death of death, but have no choice since their father has plans and refuses to remember we discussed this awhile ago. I'm also wondering where their dress shoes are ... They wear them to school, where'd they go?

Phone as modem is ridiculously expensive. As is a cell broadband card. DSL or cable modem is the best choices. With a broken laptop, my only connection right now is my cells. My BlackBerry can do just about anything I need it to. However, it's on an AT&T contract that is an add on plus $35 for the BIS. No extra BIS fees with Sprint (and better deal with the any mobile, any time and unlimited data and messaging) but Sprint doesn't have a decent wifi BlackBerry but will soon with the Tour 2. So I had to stick with the Bold through AT&T for now.

Far from it, actually. You just need to know what to say. We have four lines and I end up getting new phones about every 6 months and every issue gets solved. And they credit me for my inconvienience. Can't say I had even close to any of those experiences with Verizon (who we ended up paying termination fees on three lines to get away from - it was THAT bad) or AT&T (whom I still have a line for my BlackBerry through).

It is usually that way with prepared foods because of company (and sometimes state) restrictions. Because it's prepared food, you're not allowed to "give it away" or "consume it" after the store has closed ... to protect them from lawsuits should the food be bad. It was that way when I worked for McDonald's (although our manager didn't really care and let us take a couple things for the drive home anyway, we weren't supposed to). There's really no reason for it for undamaged boxed and canned foods, or clothing ... just selfishness, I would assume.

Like I'm watching a train wreck ... That I warned about. And I'm sitting in the Sprint Store ... Again. I had to drive back 40 minutes to get here to deal with this phone issue ... Again.

Haven't had a chance to call yet. Is on the agenda for the car rides tomorrow ... I just filled them all right before the year ended, so we're good until the end of January.

Kinda stressed ... but overall okay. Car goes in tomorrow morning to have three new bottom pieces put on (ugh ... the money there ... and the car is only 2 years old!). Books have been picked up for school starting on Monday, but one of my coursepacks is on backorder and one of my used books they gave me is on it's last leg and probably won't make it through the semester. We still only have one car ... and 6 people to get three different places each day ... looks like Phee can drop me off at school, I'll have to take the bus home and the ex can drive the kid(s) home, until we can buy the car we're looking at in a couple weeks and ultimately, put a new engine in the van this spring. Then we'll have an extra car again, for instances just like this. Frustrated about the medication issues with the insurance ... and all the surgery and tests I'm going to have done to get some kind of resolve. Hoping we are left alone while certain people are in town for awhile -- seriously -- MOVE ON, it's old, no one wants to hear it anymore. BUT --- I had a great dinner and saw an awesome movie today. (THANKS GUYS!!) And this is looking like my last semester at this school before I get to move on!! Yay!!

My daughter's does, it's Abilify (no generic) but they told me they can not dispense to her as she is a minour and even though the medication is used on some minours with extreme depresson and mood disorders, they haven't stated it is safe for use under age 18. As for mine - nope (reproductive health maintainence meds). TWB - thanks, I'll look into that.

Nope, never done that. I don't have memberships to any of those, so I never even thought about it. Totally worth a call though, thanks.

I get to go see it tomorrow in IMAX 3D. OMG, I get to go see A MOVIE!!!! Yay for one week off school for me!!

You'd be surprised. The company dumped our HMO rx coverage. Even if meds weren't originally covered, they'd work with us and either cover them or cover them while they were switched. Company did not inform us of this change. Stuff just showed up in the mail. One of my daughter's meds isn't covered and none of mine are. One of my meds I am scripted a higher dose for it to work. Normal dose is 1 x daily. I am scripted 4 x daily. Not only do they not cover the med, they would only cover 30 pills per month of those that are covered (all lower doses to begin with). Their solution: pay out of pocket (daughter's is $300, mine is $150 - mine is generic, there is no generic for hers) OR switch meds to a lower dose and take 1 x daily. Neither will my HMO cover the surgery I need to repair the damage that was caused by a previous surgery which makes this high of a dose nessecary.

My hand hurts. My 9 year old daughter was totally rocking Metallica's "Battery" on the Rockband drum set and smashed my right hand with the drum stick. It was an accident. But DANG it still hurts! (PS, she got like 70% on the song).

A bit more rested than I have been.

Sore, tired ... and emotionally drained. (See the "What Are You Thinking" thread, or my Facebook, for more details.)

I am thinking about how much I hurt from the air pressure changes of the Appalacian Mountains TWICE the day before yesterday because when I got to South Carolina, I received an email from the ex saying they never left Michigan, pick her up in Michigan, so I had to turn around and drive back to Michigan from South Carolina. I wasn't supposed to be back until the 3rd, but I got in just in time for pick up yesterday. And I am thinking that I am so glad he changed his mind when he tried to run with her back to South Carolina when I was on my way back to Michigan.

... And that was then. It just got a whole lot worse.

Words just do not describe what I feel at the moment ...

Riding in a Tahoe on I-40 in Knoxville, Tennessee.

Very tired. Made good time. Truck did much better than I expected through the mountains. Very sad. I don't want to be here under these circumstances. No one should have to bury their child. I still have a 3 hour drive in the morning to attend the funeral. Thankful for each precious moment with my children. It's things like this that make you realize just how precious it is. He was happy, smiling and playing before bed. Went to bed. His mother checked on him before she went to bed and he had stopped breathing. No medical problems. Sooooo devestating. :( I can't even imagine what they must be going through.

Not good. This was supposed to be the first year in 5 years that I was to have my daughter for Christmas. Not that it hasn't been ordered before, but my ex never returned her and even years, our order staes he gets her. However, we received news that my cousin's one year old son died very suddenly in his sleep on the 23rd. So I had to make arrangements to switch days with him, which broke my heart that I don't get to see any of my kids for Christmas. I have to leave this morning to make the funeral tomorrow morning in Georgia. I know this is rough on me, but I can't imagine how rough it must be on my cousin. :(

I'm a O20-C89-E15-A57-N7 Big Five!!

Aww. Thanks.

Indeed, that would be me.

YOU!
