tuesday

There's a telemarketer for US Pharmacy that's been calling my house for almost a year. They call daily. Some of the time, and more often than not, they call 3 times a day. They call as late as 10 p.m. I've repeatedly asked them to stop calling. I've even screamed at them....... But they continue to call. Their number on my caller ID changes from call to call ...........I've tried calling them back. None of the numbers they leave on my caller ID are workable numbers............and when I look them up online, those numbers don't work either.
Then I remembered the National Do Not Call List.
I added my number to the list a few days ago. It says it might take up to a month for the calls to stop. But I think they've already stopped. I haven't had one call from US Pharmacy since I added my number. So, Yay! (Middle finger to you US Pharmacy!)

l"ll spare all the details except to say that daughter and I were at the supper table this evening. I'd already had supper, but sat with her when she got home from cheerleading practice so that she didn't have to eat dinner alone.She brought up her weekend with the cheerleading squad that was spent at an indoor water park at a hotel.....................it gave her some time away from home, and time to hear stories from coaches and other girls about their mothers.
So this evening at the supper table she apologized to me, and took responsibility for her attitude this past couple of weeks.( It's been bad.) She tried to explain it best as she could & without making excuses. It was good to talk.
I felt so relieved, and proud of her.
She's a neat person, for real.
I love her so much.

I got on the no call list some time ago. But as I recall, you have to renew the request every few years.

And it doesn't stop the constant fucking political calls.

Sometimes hearing stories about other moms that are not as sweet, loving, kind and considerate as you are make them realize how blessed they really are. Did I do good??? Have the most wonderful day.
