Okay....trying to breath deeply...in...out...in...out....
We are at the Westin. It's attached to the Galleria Mall, so we went into the mall part for dinner, cheaper than hotel food. Went to Bennigan's right outside the ice rink, Saralinda liked watching the kids skate. Saralinda LOVES hotels, so for her, this is just a big adventure. She doesn't realize the financial implications, and of course I am glad that she doesn't, because she is little and doesn't need to be worried about big people problems. Luckily while all this drama was going on, I had Miss Judit take her to the library to return her books until it was time for her to go to gymnastics. I tried to sheild her from as much of it as I can.
Tim tried to talk to a supervisor, they left him on hold over 15 minutes....I am sure that they did that hoping he would hang up, which he eventually did. There is no way they can say we are overdue on the bill...I have the copy of the bill, it's due next Thurs....they have screwed up...and we can't do anything about it. They have, however lost our business. While Tim was on hold for the supervisor he never got, I called another electric company and got our service switched to them. At first they said we would have to pay $650 deposit, and I am just beyond feeling crazy. I told them we had had them before, for about 8 years, excellent paying history. They said, well we ran it under your name, and you have no current history, and I'm like...okay....put it in Tim's name for crying out loud. Once they did that, they said, yes, Mrs. Noakes, I see what a wonderful history Tim had paying us, their will be no deposit required. AHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHH
... They have promised service connection by 5:00 tomm...had to pay extra to do it (normally 3 days)....but this is just exasperating...used points for the hotel, which helped, but cost us a 1/3 of the points we had left after Disney in October. Hoping that the freezer will hold out, and hoping further that the stuff in fridge will not spoil, but have less hope for it, than the freezer.
I am so frustrated right now. After I got off the phone with them, explaining once again how it is their screw up...I told them hey, you have people work around the clock for emergency situations, just use one of them...why can't you call them. And the lady is like we are only inbound calls or something like that. I think she was trying to tell me that they were incapable of making any outbound calls. I mean it is just crazy. Tim gets home from work and I am sitting in the living room in the dark just bawling. It was just that last straw kinda deal...I am so frustrated by everything...don't know what job he is going to end up with, don't know where we will be living, don't know if this guy from California he's meeting in Vegas is going to work out (he told me at dinner that he has his own alarm bells going off in his head right now and he has some serious doubts about the guy) don't know if Saralinda is going to get into this school, don't know what we will do if she does and we have to move (if that last one seems silly, just know that this is one of the BEST schools in the district for her to possibly be in)..if she gets in, we have to sign an agreement that she will complete the school year, because it isn't fair to take the slot away from someone else who can stay.

Hey All. Just checking in.
Top O the page Top O the page! 
...I AM NOT HAPPY!!!!!...called Westin to see if we can use points to get in hotel tonite, as it is now 4:07 and they have not showed up yet. Luckily we can, and will save money on hotel room by using points, will just have to pay for dinner. Since we have an alarm system in the house, it is beeping every 20 seconds to let me know...IN CASE I DIDN'T....that there is a power disruption...not driving me crazy at all that beeping...NOT!!! As soon as the laptop battery is dead...that's it, can't recharge it.
Morning People.......has the caffiene started flowing yet?
So, how are all my friends doing on this Tuesday?
