09/22/2005 Archived Entry: "no more rain"

Yesterday turned out to be beautiful with not a cloud in the sky. Broke a certain 6 year old's heart though, lol. She was hoping for another romp in the rain. Hula started up last night after a month long break. Tabitha was so very happy to be going back to class and could not wait to see her friends again. 3 of best hula friends were there which thrilled her to no end. Tabitha has requested no lessons today since she wants to finish some book reports to earn ride tickets for the fair tomorrow. I countered her offer by adding in that I'd like her to practice her math facts via flash cards. Since that takes all of 5 minutes, she took the deal.

"Where's Daisy?" seems to be a common question these days. That child can scamper off before you blink. She's a bit of a hitch in her get along though. She crawls on her left knee and her right foot so it's a bizarre half crawl- half bear crawl thing. Not that it slows her down, as I mentioned. She's also finally figured out how to pull up on the dining room chairs without bonking her head. Many sighs of relief have been heard over that one. She still doesn't appear to have confidence in her own abilities because she will not attempt to walk if you're only holding one of her hands. She will hold her ground and search around with the empy hand until she finds your fingers. But once she has hold, her speed once again comes into play. I don't think she'll walk, she's going straight to running.

I'm itching to go somewhere but I don't have access to money. I have once again been the victim of fraud. I don't know what the heck I'm doing wrong but this is the fourth or fifth time we've had to cancel my check card because of a fraudulent charge. This is by far the most annoying thing though. I now have an AOL account. Somehow, and AOL sure as hell isn't doing anything to help, I was signed up through some third party web purchase. It's my name, my address and my check card number. I don't think this is normal fraud though in the sense that I don't think someone stole my cc number. First of all, why would they sign up for AOL? That's just stupid. Second of all, I recently contributed to the Red Cross via a donation website who happens to be funded by AOL. I'm guessing there was a tiny little box somewhere that I missed in the terms that gave them permission to sign me up for AOL. So anyway, I had to cut up my card and my new one won't be here until Tuesday. Since I never have any cash, I'm kinda stuck. Can't even walk to Sav-On for a soda, lol.

Chris managed to score free Foo-Fighters/Weezer/Hot Hot Heat tickets yesterday. He was quite thrilled until her realized the date, the same day we have tickets for trick-or-treating at California Adventure. So we discussed it, bought more tix for Disney for a different day and hope we can sell our original tix to either my bil or some friends or at the very least, on my Disney email list. Worst case scenario, what we paid for the extra three tickets is less than the cost of one ticket for the concert we're going to so we're still coming out ahead.
