Not cough cough hack hack ill...but I want to beat the crap out of someone ill. My computer starting acting up last night...it is stuck in a reboot loop. Just keeps restarting. Can't get to my checking information or anything! That might be why I am ill. I usually check that several times a day!

I had it out with Sallie Mae this morning. They have called me every day for the last three days. The last one was last night at about 6:00. I told themI would get the forms back to them. They called again at 8:30 this morning. I had to call them back and go through the push 1 for...push 2 for...practically yelled at the guy to quit calling me and that I verified my address yesterday and I wasn't doing it again today.

I also had it out with the vice principal at my daughters school. She had her cell phone taken up earlier this week. I had been telling her to make sure it was off, but what does mom know. I don't disagree with the school taking it up. The reason I had it out with him was because they won't allow a grandparent to pick the phone up...has to be a parent. So I said what would happen if I couldn't get here to pick the phone up...he said that they would keep it as long as I needed them to until I could get there. WRONG ANSWER!! I proceeded to tell him that that is holding something that I pay for each month hostage. And that I understand the discipline behind taking the cell phone up...had no problems with that what so ever...but they are threatening to hold my daughters cell phone, which I pay for hostage until I can take time off work to come get it when my parents are right down the street! Not that she won't be punished if it happens again, but the idea of the school holding something hostage just really ticks me off. Oh and I recieved the nice little "your daughter had missed 5 days of school" note yesterday in the mail. That is another sore subject and if they had mentioned that I would have gone off even further!!

Anyway...thanks for listening to me rant and pray for my family today!
