The Transfer Went Well?

Well much to my surprise and shock, the kids took it great getting the new cable system and losing all of their recorded shows that was on the DVR satellite. Mom and Dad are not  real thrilled with the new system but life is what it is. The kids like it because they now get Disney XD along with the regular Disney channel, Nick and Cartoon network. I do like the fact that I have the Animal Planet channel back though.

Now the internet service upgrade would have been wonderful if it had been working right. After the cable employee did something on the pole behind our house so that our service would be faster, all of a sudden we would lose the internet when the sun went down. And then as soon at the sun came up the next day it would be working again. And of course when you call for assistance you get someone in India that is following a script and tells you it's the motem. Even after another cable employee came out and checked everything out it still was not working at night - you could set your clock to it. After a lot of yelling and choice words from my husband to any and everyone at the cable company, they finally got someone out LAST NIGHT to try and figure it out. And between him and another wonderful fella, they got it figured out. They climbed polls in the freezing ass dark night but they fixed it. Apparently what was happening to us was happening to everyone in our area (only about 500 people) and it was all because the moron who upgraded us did not tighten a connection up on the poll. So for 5 nights, no one had internet because we got an upgrade. The hardest part was Kassidy not having her internet because that seems to be were she finds her peace. She can put on her headphones and block out the rest of the world and live in her own for a while. But she actually took it pretty good and didn't complain or whine too much about it. Although, with Kassidy, things can be deceiving.  3 weeks from now she will probably start to show the anxiety and stress of not having the internet and it will manifest in another way.  Only time will tell. And at least we got the internet back now.....sorry for the inconvience neighbors!
