Thanks to the old telephone setup in my house, I was without my DSL connection for a whole day and a half...I know, in the grand scheme of things, that is not a long time. But it seemed like an eternity!
My son came home from school yesterday and told me about a story a kid in his class told him, about Dog Man. Yes, Dog Man. And there were pictures, and not any fluffy Fido pictures, according to Son. So, guess who had a major meltdown at bedtime? Son. Wednesdays are already hard enough days because right after school, Son does homework, I pack his lunch and we are out the door headed to church - all in 1 hour. We don't get home until 8:30 (9 in winter), already a half hour past bedtime. Son gets to bed at 9, if we're lucky. Last night? Not so lucky. He started freaking out thinking that Dog Man was going to attack him in the middle of the night. "Can't you look it up on the Internet?" he asks. No...the Internet is broken. That was only the beginning to a VERY looooooooooooong night.
So I get logged on and there are about a bathousand emails, mostly junk, in my Inbox and I didn't even look at my spam folder, which I check daily to make sure that there aren't any good emails in it. I haven't even scratched the surface on the sites I must visit every day. And, my cousin finally decided which dress she wants for a bridesmaid dress (the wedding is in 15 days, yikes!), so I've got to get that ordered tonight so I can get it altered as soon as I receive it. And I need to look up some stuff on Craigslist. I LOVE Craigslist more than eBay.
So, I guess I did survive. I certainly had more time to get things done, like talk to Sears guys about a furnace in a 3+ hour meeting that should have been only 90 minutes, or to get started on cleaning and organizing the basement - which didn't happen because the Sears guys were here for way too long. And I do have mobile email on my snazzy new phone, but its so hard to reply on - I'm just not a good texter.
Well, off to get caught up on my browsing.
