Sink Or Swim
Man, oh man. Do I have a lot to share this week.
It seems when the hubby leaves town for six months you have two choices.
Sink.
Or swim.
I seriously felt like I was sinking this week. And I still might. Especially after the night I’ve had. For the sake of my loyal readers (both of you!), I should really close my laptop and call it a night. But, I heard somewhere that it’s not really good to go to bed mad, so while I’m waiting for my blood pressure to reach a normal level, I may as well pluck out this post of things I’ve learned this week.
First.
When the hubby gets the bright idea (like that light bulb up there) to switch your internet service from Verizon to Suddenlink because it is cheaper and faster STICK! TO! YOUR! GUNS! Seriously. This is especially true if said husband is leaving the country for six months which means you will be the one dealing with the mess that is the faster (ahem!), cheaper, unreliable internet service brought to you in part by Suddenlink.
Next.
When (notice I said when, not if) you do find yourself in need of technical support because the cheaper, unreliable internet service is not working, you will be thrilled to discover an English speaking American on the line and even more thrilled to find out they could fix the problem in about twenty minutes.
This little problem with the internet will remind you that you did indeed win a PEEK this week and even though it is going to be a long six months without the hubby around to fix this and anything else that will go wrong, you will at least have a brand new black cherry PEEK with unlimited texting and e-mail at your service.
Which apparently means that Number 7 is my lucky number.
And lastly, I learned that when potty training, your sweet three year old may not know when he is completely done doing number two. For that reason, it is always a good idea to make him sit two more minutes or else you might find yourself changing a dirty pull-up ten minutes later. Apparently, there is a reason it is called potty. training.
There.
I can sleep now.
And hopefully not sink.

#7 has been my favorite number since I was in elementary school. One day in 1957 we 2nd-grade girls were telling each other our favorite numbers! Sooo………..I, of course, needed a number! So, I thought for about 5 seconds; and the #7 just clicked in my head………and hasn’t moved since. #7 plays a big role in my life. Yada…..yada….yada —– GREAT NUMBER!
Whoa — how about that Suddenlink fellow — sounds like a good “link” — we’re Suddenlink, too.
