Well, they were wrong.
On the Fourth of July we celebrated our country's independence and also celebrated our family's independence from the phone, the router, and the modem. Along with our dryer, my in-law's computer, and all their phone stuff. And it seems to be a lingering effect because everytime we try to use an appliance, its a game, "Will it or will it not work?" Its not a funny game though. Not even a little bit.
And if someone can tell me why my house is so attracted to lightening strikes I would be very thankful.
Somehow the internet is working now even though our phone isn't. I am assuming I am getting it from a neighbor's house who was fortunate enough NOT to get hit by lightening. So, I may or may not be back for who knows when. I have made calls to the phone company and was told they would be by my house by SATURDAY, JULY 9 at 8:00 PM. Not vague at all is it?
But I wanted to write this down before I forget. This morning we were reading History and I was reading about how the colonists started the tobacco plantations in Virginia and how the slave trade made the plantations grow bigger and yada, yada, yada. I thought they were really paying attention because they were being unusually still.
Right in the middle of my little lecture/reading scenario Matt raises his hand. I'll just repeat verbatim what was said...
Me: "Okay Matt, what is your question." (I am secretly thinking about how he is going to be a brilliant whatever he turns out to be, yada, yada, yada).
Matt: "Mom, if Burger King and Dairy Queen got married would they form an American Fast Food Monarchy?
Me: (Deep Sigh) "Okay, history is over, go do your math."
