same_skyIt has been all busy here lately. We did get our internet back. Sorta. Well, yes, clearly, we have internet at home because I am sitting here in my chair typing away on the intarwebs and all, but it is only because we are impatient and clever. They kept telling us that they were going to call us back and they didn't, and then they said they'd call us back and schedule an appointment, and they didn't. That theoretical appointment was going to be today, but (what a surprise) they didn't show up or call. Anyway, when M finally talked to the last guy who promised someone would schedule the appointment for today, he said that it was probably this strange little box that they had put in here (and replaced once already, I might add) and that it really shouldn't be used for internet and they would want to install a new outlet. So, when we finally got home that night, we re-wired the place and got rid of the box. We don't really know what the box does, but it has behaved very strangely in the past when we have disconnected it. So... now we are without television in this room due to the DIY re-wiring, which is not a big deal at all to us, but we have access to the outside world via the internets, so all is well. EXCEPT it makes me angry every time I think about it that as far as the plant board knows, we are sitting here without internet that we're paying for.
Ignore them, maybe they'll go away. Great customer service right there.
So anyway, my parents went camping at the horse park beginning on Friday, and they left Wednesday. We went out there every day, and even spent the night on Saturday. M slept on the couch and Evie and I slept on the bed that you make out of the table. (Random trivia: except for the time I was in the hospital when E was born, that was the first time we have ever slept apart since we've been married. Aww.) I wish I could say that spending the night was fun, but the truth is that it was one of the most miserable nights I've had in a while. I had a headache when I went to bed, but I couldn't find any drugs for it because we were all tiptoe-ing around because we didn't want to wake Evie up. I have never been able to sleep off a headache, so I knew I'd have to deal with it in the morning. But my darling, darling child decided to wake up and stay awake for a couple of hours, so I got to enjoy some quality time with it before she fell asleep again and it was light enough in the camper to go find my purse. Ahh, well. Other than that, we had a great time, with eating and swimming and eating and games and eating and golf cart rides and eating and did I mention eating? We mainly just go camping to eat, I think. Also, cook. We do a lot of cooking, which also means a lot of clean-up. That part isn't as much fun but it's a necessary evil.
I need more hours in the day. I'm so, so behind. I did get my house largely cleaned up yesterday (it was a disaster, what with being gone all day every day and only coming in long enough to make a mess of every room, complain about not having internet and sleep) and most of my weekly shopping today, but there is always so much more that needs done. People think stay at home moms have lots of time on their hands. HA! I used to whine about "only" having like, five hours to myself every night. FIVE HOURS. Do you know what I would give to have five hours to myself these days? The grass is always greener, y'all. Of course, then I didn't have small people throwing their arms around my neck and giving me butterfly kisses, either, so... maybe it isn't greener after all. :)
