So on my journey to Verizon to go see what was really wrong with my phone I get there letting Ali know we're going to the "phone store" and she needs to keep her little hands to herself. Well you know those parents that you see chasing after their kids in the store, because they went wild? Well let's just say that was us today. While the lady ( who didn't know much more than I did about fixing my phone) was "fixing" my phone or trying I had this kid grabbing every phone possible pushing the buttons, dropping them on the floor trying to sit on the window sill of the store. Being ridiculous! And still to this very moment acting crazy!!!! You've heard of terrible 2's? Well there's horrible 4's! Ali has never acted crazy to the point where I thought I was going to go crazy but today she has really pushed me to that limit. She's been doing this thing where she yells and pretends to cry because she thinks she's going to get out of something. Who does she think she is?
Need less to say the lady at the store was no help! She basically gave me a phone number and told me to call tech support to claim my warranty. Only thing is when you have a warranty on a Verizon phone you don't actually get your phone replaced that same day with a new one...you have to wait for them to ship you a RE-furbished one the next day, then send in your old phone within a week because if you don't they'll charge your account for $99. What the hell?! This is ridiculous! Not to mention it's just the shell to the phone so I have to use the same battery and memory card. What happens if this "new" phone doesn't work? Do I send it in and get another one or are they going to say ...well you used your warranty so now you have to buy your own phone @ full retail price. Have you seen the cost of phones these days? It cost more to buy an Iphone than it does for me to take a cruise!
So other than that nothing much else happened today I played with the idea of driving to Shreveport, LA just to go be with my Lemon until I realized something. I would be taking away from his away from us time. And that's not cool. As much as I would want to it wouldn't be fair. He has his work out time 7 his ability to go do whatever whenever 7 not have to worry about us. Plus it's only for 2 weeks, even though we're here he can have his fun there. So I don't know if it was the lack of sleep or just the stress of everything today but today was a pretty bad day. I can only hope tomorrow will be better
Until next time

If the phone they send you doesn't work you call the people who sent it and tell them, they'll send you another phone. It's happened to me before..
ReplyDeleteSometimes I think about how easier it was to handle Phoenix when she was not mobile, it seems so much harder the older they get. I'm not there yet, so I don't really know what to say about Ali acting up in the store. I am kind of scared thinking about how Phoenix will be as she gets older.... but I did learn something in my PHI class.... kids don't come with moral intuition, apparently you have to build (or beat) it into them. Kids are devil spawn! Haha totally kidding, but in all seriousness, kids are totally innocent. They do not know right from wrong behaviors until we teach it to them. Once its learned, we just gotta beat them into routine! Holy crap I need my own talk show on parenting I'm on a damn roll here! K I'm done spamming talk to you later
