I'm Just Sayin

Opened up our AT and T bill today. They screwed us over AGAIN. For the second month in a row we have had several charges for downloads that we have not done. I lost my phone back in June and I diactivated the phone. Before I could deactivate it there was about 100 dollars of fees for downloads. At first they were giving us the heisman but they relented and took those fees off.

At and T part II- For the second month in a row they tell us they did not get our payment. We have the account electronically taken from our account. We have been doing this for as long as I can remember. Well two months ago we got rid of the bundle because their TV coverage was CRAP...we had nothing but problems. When you know the service guy by name and he knows the names of your dogs....he has been to your house too much. Well all of the sudden when we dropped them for TV they can't seem to keep track of our account. We even showed them where the money was deducted....didn't matter....they still did not show that we paid so we had to go toe to toe with them about the late fees. So they got rid of the late fees. Well this month the bill came and we got a penalty fee for not paying the late fee last month that we were told they took off the account. DID YOU FOLLOW THAT ONE?

So I don't give a crap anymore....I am paying the fee to disconnect from them and I went out and got T-mobil. I can't wait till they ask me why I am disconnecting them.

Answer- Your customer service- SUCKS and your billing department SUCKS

Why are my kids total angels around my parents? Makes me feel like a failure as a parent sometimes....example:

My son gets up from the table and does not take his plate to the sink at meal time at my parents- My Dad- Big Jack did you forget something? Jack turns around APOLOGIZES and gets the plate to the sink.

I ask Jack to clean his room before dinner and with all of the complaining I hear you would have thought I told him to build a V-8 hemi and install it into my car.

This happened to me TWICE this week- Traveling down the highway at 70+ on the tollway and a driver in the far left lane realizes he and or she was about to miss their exit. So they cross all three lanes of traffic and cause the rest of us to hit the brakes and almost run into one another and we fight to not hit them.

NOW I ASK YOU? WHY DOES THIS PERSON NOT JUST GOT THE MILE DOWN THE ROAD IF THAT AND EXIT AND TURN AROUND?

Funny line from Jack today when I asked him to clean his room?
WHAT? YOU CAN'T EXPECT ME TO CLEAN ALL OF THIS?
Me-Um...yeah I can. Your room...your mess.
Jack- YOUR THE MEANEST DAD ALIVE
Me- Probably so Jack....I tell you what...I will look it up and see if I am. While I am doing that....clean your room.

Editors Note- I did see on CNN where some parents were being put in jail for denying their child food. I think this qualifies as meaner than me.

The picture up top is of Caroline on her first day of Kindergarten. I LOVE this picture. Caroline got an awesome teacher. She is ON IT.

Jack has a first year teacher this year. Tracey is ready to take her to task. I am going to suggest and let her hang herself. Give them enough rope and they will hang themselves. On the other side....maybe she will figure it out? I have seen first year teachers are GREAT! This one....time will tell but the boat is leaking. They deserve an opportunity to figure out. Thinking back to my first year....WOW...not sure but I might owe all those kids an apology.

We did ask about a behavior communication folder or system because we did not see anything come home.

ANSWER? We expect the kids to tell their parents if they got in trouble at school.

Um- excuse me? Can I see a show of hands of how many kids are going to do that?
