Monday morning and we have already hit the ground running.
Last night was the last straw with our little four legged friend--Winston. After finishing up some house work, I went outside to let him in the house for the night. After calling for Winston for a few minutes, I realized he was nowhere to be found. To make matters worse, it was dark and I couldn't even see to go search for him. I looked over the fence in our neighbors yard--no sign of Winston. I was still calling for him, and the neighbor's dogs came out of the doggie door next door. I decided to go in the house and look for a flashlight. By the time I got back out to the back yard, I heard our little friend...in the neighbors yard. I could have sworn he wasn't back there, which leads me to believe he was in the neighbors house just hanging out. Both of their cars were home, so I am assuming they were also inside. Hopefully they didn't mind a visitor.
We have been working on a plan to keep Winston in our yard and out of the neighbors so we started making a flower garden along that fence line. The last step is putting in over 3,000 lbs. of Missouri river rock so Ian and I got up at 7 a.m. and headed to Sturgis Materials to pick up rock. Now he is working diligently to get the rock from his truck to the backyard. I feel bad because I'm not much help. I'm starting to wonder if baby Haley is making her way lower into my belly, because she is starting to feel like she is wiggling lower. Hopefully that means she is going to drop soon. While I know that means I will be uncomfortable--but it also means I am weeks away from labor (hopefully) and my ribs will catch a break. I guess we will see at our doctors appointment tomorrow!
On another note, I am really not pleased with Sprint right now. My current phone has been working my nerves. The battery life is a joke. I have to charge it at least twice a day, and if the phone is simply on stand-by it will still die within hours. The phone also has a tendency to freeze up or run really slow, even when I simply want to make a phone call. So I had decided I was going to order a different phone on eBay or Craigslist and do a phone swap. No big deal, right? Well when I called Sprint to verify, they alerted me that if I were to switch phones, I would have to start paying an extra $10.00 a month. I thought that was strange because I wasn't doing anything to my contract. I wasn't renewing or changing anything. My current phone is already a 3G smartphone, and I would be switching to another--probably less tech savvy 3G smartphone that would simply run smoother with better battery life. So maybe $10.00 a month isn't a huge deal, considering that Sprint by far has better plans compared to other carriers, its just the principle that they are changing the terms mid-contract without my consent. When I signed my contract, it was understood that you can swap phones as much as the customer pleased. Now I would understand if i was upgrading to a 4G, as those can use a lot more data quicker, but that is simply not the case. So based on principle, I decided to stick with the current phone I have. I'm searching eBay for an upgraded battery to solve the battery issue, and I just decided each time my phone freezes up I will just have to call tech and alert them of this issue until they are sick of me calling each day.
Well, that is all I have for today. Looking forward to a doctor's appointment tomorrow. I'm sure all he is going to do is measure and weigh me, but I haven't seen MY actual doctor for about a month now. Until next time...
