everyday life of a stay at home mom/artist

Just more crap that has happened lately

We decided to switch from cable to satellite yesterday. The price of cable seemed to keep going up with no apparent reason and I am NOT happy with the customer service that cable was providing. We had phone, tv, and internet with this cable company. What hurts the most about having cable phone is that in the event of a power outage, there is no phone to use! So we now have cell and satellite for internet and tv. Satellite is actually a nice decent speed and blah blah blah...I am sick of talking about it.

My 8 year old lost a tooth yesterday and apparently the fee for losing a tooth has gone up from a quarter when I was a child to $5.00. yikes She almost missed the bus this morning grabbing her 5 dollars and I said, "You better catch that bus or we will be using that 5 for gas money to get you to school!" It was funny at the time...but now it doesn't sound so funny.

anyway...I am sick of typing.

Hey peopleseldest....

cable companies basically have a monopoly until the government steps in there nothing anyone can do about it

Sarah Dreamsangel292005 Thursday, April 17, 2008 8:32:41 PM

I totally agree.

MarcusFXM256 Thursday, April 17, 2008 9:06:06 PM

If they didn't have a monopoly, then the cable company wouldn't keep raising their prices like they do. irked

but she was probably so happy about the five...

SIRAN M. YATESsiran11 Friday, April 18, 2008 3:03:19 AM

that five dollars for gas statement would be funny if wasn't so true how high do u think it'll go

Sarah Dreamsangel292005 Friday, April 18, 2008 1:24:44 PM

omgarsh I didn't know that you guys missed me. *blush*
hi Cois
hi Star

Scott, She informed me that she owed the cafeteria lady a debt. Isn't that cute that she paid it without telling us that is what she was using the money for? She had a bill, pulled her tooth out and paid with the money.

Wait...that doesn't sound so good.


Siran, I think up to 4 in the summer.

scott cummingIArtMan Friday, April 18, 2008 9:44:25 PM

no, that sounds just fine... very inventive with character too.

SIRAN M. YATESsiran11 Saturday, April 19, 2008 1:02:41 AM

wow, 5 dollars for a tooth! inflation sux

Bad WolfCois Saturday, April 19, 2008 8:14:24 AM

That's why you got to break it to them early that the toothfairy doesn't exist.. lol

Sarah Dreamsangel292005 Saturday, April 19, 2008 2:20:30 PM

lol

KarenNerak Monday, April 21, 2008 4:20:11 PM

lol That kills me!

Sunny lost a tooth the night before last. Just when I think she's lost all of the baby teeth, another one pops out! bigeyes

Anyway, she loses the tooth and then says, "Can we just bypass the Tooth Fairy thing and you can give me my money now?" lol I looked at her like and said, "Umm...if you want your money, you will go through the motions!" The Tooth Fairy visited her last night. I love getting my way. yes

Sarah Dreamsangel292005 Monday, April 21, 2008 6:22:58 PM

Awww! I have noticed kids lose teeth like crazy! It's like, enough already!
I believe in the tooth fairy. o

SIRAN M. YATESsiran11 Monday, April 21, 2008 6:28:44 PM

it's the tooth fairy mob

KarenNerak Monday, April 21, 2008 6:44:47 PM

You should believe in the Tooth Fairy! Here I am! wizard

Sarah Dreamsangel292005 Monday, April 21, 2008 6:50:52 PM

lol

How much do I get for a fake tooth? bigsmile
(not that I have one, but I can make one! up )

KarenNerak Monday, April 21, 2008 7:15:42 PM

I have no idea...but here's a story that'll gross you out...


When I was about 5 years old, I was playing over at a friend's house. They had a dead cow head in their yard. Just the skull, of course. Not like a furry head on their lawn or something. I have no idea why people think skulls of animals are decorations, but whatever.

Anyway, I pried a tooth from the skull, took it home, and slid it under my pillow. When my Mom tucked me in that night, she felt something under my pillow, reached under there and found the tooth. She said something like, "What the Hell is this?!" I told her, "I figured that if I get a couple bucks for my tiny tooth, I should get A LOT of money for this big, huge tooth!"

My Mom looked at me like bigeyes and threw the tooth away. down Party pooper!

I've always been a freak. scared

Matthewnoah counte Monday, April 21, 2008 7:18:43 PM

Nice try. lol

sing She's crafty! sing

KarenNerak Monday, April 21, 2008 7:28:46 PM

lol

I should find a bovine tooth and put it under my Mom's pillow for old time's sake! yes

Matthewnoah counte Monday, April 21, 2008 7:39:53 PM

I might be able to send you some deer teeth. The dogs keep dragging home heads. Calling them "decoration" makes the boneyard sound a little more upbeat than it is.

KarenNerak Monday, April 21, 2008 7:47:47 PM

no Please don't!

Sarah Dreamsangel292005 Monday, April 21, 2008 8:05:22 PM

lol funny story! Very creative and reminds me of Mariah thinking of ways to make money...she does some crazy stuff.

Matthewnoah counte Monday, April 21, 2008 8:05:35 PM

Antlers? Fibulas?

KarenNerak Monday, April 21, 2008 8:12:02 PM

No! no Keep your animal parts to yourself, Matthew!

Matthewnoah counte Monday, April 21, 2008 8:22:50 PM

What? it's not like they've dragged up an oosik, or anything.

Sarah Dreamsangel292005 Monday, April 21, 2008 8:23:55 PM

lol

KarenNerak Monday, April 21, 2008 8:28:00 PM

lol

Do you have a beaver pelt on your dashboard?

Matthewnoah counte Monday, April 21, 2008 8:45:29 PM

Errrrrrrrrrr....

No comment. zip

KarenNerak Monday, April 21, 2008 8:58:28 PM

I thought the whole beaver thing would shut you up.

Mission accomplished.

SIRAN M. YATESsiran11 Monday, April 21, 2008 9:19:17 PM

that story is friggin' hilarious. i can't believe ur mom didn't die from laughter lol

KarenNerak Monday, April 21, 2008 10:29:06 PM

My Mom's always been a total neat freak, so when she saw a nasty old cow's tooth in my bed, she pretty much panicked! lol

Sarah Dreamsangel292005 Monday, April 21, 2008 11:05:27 PM

lol poor mom!

Matthewnoah counte Tuesday, April 22, 2008 12:20:34 AM

That's no beaver - it's a platypus. whistle whistle

KarenNerak Tuesday, April 22, 2008 12:33:58 AM

lol

SIRAN M. YATESsiran11 Tuesday, April 22, 2008 2:13:40 AM

and hey, what guy doesn't like a little platypus every now and then knockout

Matthewnoah counte Tuesday, April 22, 2008 2:15:03 AM

Looks like a beaver from the back, but walk around the other side, and it's a whole new game.

KarenNerak Tuesday, April 22, 2008 2:21:48 AM

Kinky.

Matthewnoah counte Tuesday, April 22, 2008 2:29:17 AM

What marsupial isn't? whistle

KarenNerak Tuesday, April 22, 2008 3:06:47 AM

I have no idea...I'm too sick to have a clue.

Sarah Dreamsangel292005 Tuesday, April 22, 2008 1:55:39 PM

I am lost....

no really.

Matthewnoah counte Tuesday, April 22, 2008 2:07:16 PM

It's all about the pouch.

Matthewnoah counte Tuesday, April 22, 2008 2:08:10 PM

... and the duck bill. A platypus just wouldn't be a platypus without a duck bill.

It would be a beaver with a pouch, wouldn't it?

Sarah Dreamsangel292005 Tuesday, April 22, 2008 2:09:27 PM

pouch?

I am too innocent to understand such things. angel

Matthewnoah counte Tuesday, April 22, 2008 2:10:53 PM

Hahaha. Not too innocent to assume the worst! Pouch - like kangaroos use to carry their young! Platypussies do the same thing.

Sarah Dreamsangel292005 Tuesday, April 22, 2008 2:12:34 PM

But women don't have pouches....confused

Matthewnoah counte Tuesday, April 22, 2008 2:23:00 PM

Oh. I thought we were talking about the pelt on my dashboard. Nevermind whistle
