Tooth Fairy

The tooth fairy had to make a visit to our house this week. My little prince pulled another tooth out. That was cool, but the tooth fairy never has any cash. I suggested that we hold off for a day because maybe on the weekend the tooth fairy would pay out better. That went well. I discussed how much my little prince was expecting...he said eight dollars because he is eight years old. What? Are you kidding..that's what I said..he looked at me like I was crazy and said yes he was very serious. I told him I had been lucky to get fifty cents for my teeth. I called his dad and ran that figure by him and he had the same reaction I had. Thank goodness! We decided that two dollars would be acceptable. So I rounded up two dollars in cash and waited for him to fall asleep last night. When he woke up this morning I asked if the tooth fairy had stopped by and he said yes as he was clutching his cash in his hand. I asked how much she had brought and he counted out two dollars and then started looking for more under the pillow. He said that can't be all she left. He was sure that there was more to be found. He also said where is the change..the tooth fairy always leaves change..I don't know where he comes up with some of the things that he says. I so wanted to tell him that the tooth fairy does not exist but I didn't. I guess I had better save up for his next tooth...

Blackberry Update

In my previous post today I failed to update everyone on the Blackberry situation. I went to activate my new "refurbished" Blackberry and my old one with all my contacts and settings miraculously came to life. I wanted to keep the old one so I decided to keep it for a week or so to see if I was really back from the dead. Well the Verizon guy said that I had to use the new "refurbished" Blackberry or the insurance would not cover the phone if it broke again. So, I got the new "refurbished" Blackberry up and running and got all the settings just the way I liked them and then...it wouldn't charge. I finally got it to charge and thought maybe that had been a fluke, but no it was not a fluke. Finally on Halloween night it died. So, I had to call the insurance company and have them send yet another new "refurbished" Blackberry. Since the phone died before I could forward the phone number to my other cell phone I had to call customer service and mess with them for about an hour before everything was set up the way I needed it to be. Three days later I received my new "refurbished" Blackberry. I set this one up all by myself and now it is working perfectly...Happiness at last...lets hope it lasts!!!!

Back Again

I haven't written in a few weeks, but I am still here. My little prince and I are surviving. I have decided to pursue a job here in North Carolina and I will be looking for a roommate. I am looking into a job in our communications call center, basically that is a 911 operator. The pay starts off better and there is overtime to be had. They have filled all of their open positions but they still have three over hire positions that are frozen as of today, but hopefully they can talk the city into thawing one position for me. I went and sat with two teams and I guess they were impressed with me and feel that I would be a good match for their group. They work twelve hour shifts and there are six people on a team. I am trying real hard not to get my hopes up too far with the economy the way it is jobs are harder to come by. I have decided to stay here for the time being and just live my life the way I want and not the way anyone else wants me to live. I came out here to start over and now I need to follow through. I guess I just didn't realize how hard it would be to start all over again. Anyways we are gonna be fine and I will get things back in order within the next few years. My little prince got straight A's this first quarter and numerous other awards. I am so proud of him!!! I can't believe that he will be turning nine years old this next month. I can't possibly be old enough to have a child that old, right? Stop laughing! He was in a little Christmas program at the church last weekend and got a little shy. I had to work that day but the children's choir leader told me that he was a little shy singing in front of everyone. He has really enjoyed going to church and we make it a priority to be there. I think that he might have told his Sunday school teacher that we are poor because they sent us a gift card to Wal Mart. I asked him if he had said anything and he said oh yes I told them that my mom didn't have any money. I was mortified, but that's how it goes with kids...
