I thought with summer, I would find more time to actually keep up with my blog. Boy, was I wrong. Summer has gotten away from me!!! I am so sad that we only have a few weeks left...boo hoo!
Here are a few things that have been happening in the lives of the Pabens:
-Tanner started at a new preschool today. I am really sad that it is already that time again. I only took him for a few hours because I want to slowly get him used to it. They said he did pretty well but he was upset when I got there because it was about nap time. While he was there for a few hours, I got A LOT done around the house! It is amazing how much you can get done when you don't have a 1 year old to chase around and keep out of things!
-I called AT&T to change our phone plan. So I talked to "Bill" who spoke with a very heavy Indian accent. I explained to him that I wanted to know my options for phone plans. He repeatedly told me, "I will be happy to help you because I want you to be a very happy customer," spoken in his heavy accent. So he told me that he would have to transfer me to another department, even though the #2 phone option I chose was "plans and services." And yes, he transferred me alright...to a LAW FIRM!! Seriously?? The lady that answered the phone sounded really confused when I started telling her that I wanted to know my options for phone plans!!! "Umm, ma'am, this is a law firm. I can't help you with that." I think "Bill" needs a new job!! haha at least I got a good laugh about it!
-As forgetful as I have been, it does not surprise me that I let my teaching certificate expire. YIKES!! Every 5 years in the state of Texas, you have to pay to be re certified...DUMB!!! So since I didn't apply on time, I just have to pay $10 more to get it renewed. So I went online about 2 weeks ago and followed all the prompts to renew. It got to the screen where you type all your credit card information in and submitted my payment. Instead of it showing a receipt, the website informed me that my session had been "timed out." So I logged back in and started to type it all in again. But I checked my email and there was a receipt of payment. I thought, "Okay, I guess its fine." So fast forward two weeks, and I go to check the status and it only says applied and gives me the option to pay. What?? So I SEARCH the website for a number to call and finally get in touch with someone who can help me. She informs me that their system is new and has some glitches but it shows that I haven't paid. So I have to go check my bank statement which shows that they payment cleared the bank. I had to fax them a copy of my bank statement so that they could manually input the data. Ummm, all I can say is they best hurry! School starts in a few weeks!!! What a nightmare!
-I was in the kitchen fixing dinner last night and Tanner was in the living room. As I peered around the corner to check on him, I found him standing on the coffee table. He was on the edge bouncing up and down and peering at the couch. Before I could stop him, he jumped from the coffee table to the couch!!! Wow...the things I have to look forward too! He isn't even 1 1/2 years yet and is already being a dare devil!
-New windows are going in on Thursday! I am SOOO ready to have these old ones replaced! It is going to do so much for the house and hopefully we will see a drastic change in our electric bill!!
They say it should reduce it by 20-30%...BRING IT!!!
-I found out today that I will be teaching 6th grade math again next year! What a relief that is...I am glad that I don't have to quit my job! And we are getting a new teaching tool called a SMARTboard! They are REALLY neat!!
So there you go...few things going on in the last few days with us! We live a pretty uneventful life right now...hopefully, we will liven up pretty soon!
