Ivy Tied Up |

Mixed up ramblings of a bipolar mom to 4…

Aggravating to say the least!

Monday Feb 18, 2008

my ivyI’ve been having connection issues with my Internet for the last few days and tech support is zero help. I’ve had this problem in the past and it seems to be weather related. They literally need to come out here and run a new line but wont do it. Anyhow that wont be an issue after tomorrow because the cable company is coming out to install cable Internet and tv. We haven’t had cable in years. I can’t wait! There is only so many times you can watch the same kids movies over and over again before you start to go a little crazy.

 Bug has been having issues at school. He is staying in trouble and causing problems in the classroom. Apparently he wants to be the class clown. His teacher is at her wits end but wont send him to the principal. I’ve done all I can at home. Punishing him for his behavior at school. Its not working. My suggestion to the teacher was to send him to the principal maybe then he’d take it seriously. Until he learns there are consequences at school for his actions he wont learn. Other than his behavior his grades are good.

 The other kids are doing fairly well. Diva brought her failing math grade up to a 70. Its not heaven but its better than nothing. Sugar is in love still. ONly with a different boy now.. That kid cracks me up but worries me all the same. Wyatt is pretty much doing typical toddler stuff. We’ve found out tantrums are fun and get us no where, but he still proceeds to kick his feet when he doesnt get his way.

I hid my meds again from dh. I hid them last time but he found them. Hopefully he doesnt find them. He knows how mad I was/am over the whole thing. He seems concerned but he is still an addict and an addict can’t be trusted.

Girl scout cookies come in tomorrow.. This is a big deal.  My troop can’t wait to get their cookies. And anyone who has had GS cookies in the past knows they are the best! Last thing I need.. I gained 5 lbs of the 20lbs I lost back.. BLECH!I feel so gross.. I think i’ll donate the cookies I ordered to support the troop.. I think i’ll donate them back to the troop!

I bought 2 ivy’s this weekend. Any dibs on how long they’ll stay alive?

I think thats it for now…

 UPDATE: Cable company didnt show up! Called me at 7pm and asked me to reschedule. They can’t come back till THURSDAY OF NEXT WEEK!!!!!!!!!! They offered me a 20$ credit on my bill.. Ticks me off! BIG TIME! because i’m still having connection issues and the damn phone company wont fix them!

I enjoyed the update. How nice that you are finally getting cable and internet connection that way. I am wondering…if Bug’s grades are good and he is acting the class clown, perhaps he isn’t challenged enough by the work he is getting…you know, bored. Just a thought. As to the ivy, I have great faith that it will last a long time as you will love it and water it and talk to it,…. right?

Mmmmm. Thin mints! I’m sure the Ivy will survive–unleashed or not.

Sugar cracks me up - just wait til the teenage years!! I was a lot like Bug when I was little - jsut wanted attention and getting in trouble for acting out was the one way I knew how at times. Good for Diva pulling up her grade! It’s a start, right?

Hey Once you go to Cable MOdem there is no turning back! LOL i could never imagine having to down grade to “DIAL UP” that would just suck! ;0

My Fav. Girl Scout cookie is Tagalongs or is it tagalogs I don’t remember! LOL ALL I remember is they taste good and its been several years since I ordered any.

Congrats for Diva pulling up her grade!! I’m having problems with QTIPS math grade he just doesn’t want to try it seems like he has even been attending SYLVAN Learning Center (a popular and famous Tutoring place)and its not really helping at all…
