Mistakes in Motherhood

I am having a hard time finding positive reviews of Vonage, the reviews are really mixed and about half report service unreliable and customer service poor. I signed up for consumer reports and their reviews are saying to keep a land line which kind of defeats the purpose of saving money by closing the phone account.

Instead I decided to change my long distance carrier to ECG, the company I had for years when we lived in Tx and Wa. They were not in Colorado when we moved here, so that is why we did not switch upon moving here, or maybe it was because we were on base and had no choice of long distance carriers, I don’t remember now, I am too tired. Anyways, by switching, my bill which was $10.84 for 117 minutes will be $2.96.

My favorite memory of Christmas was when my sister, who was probably about 15 made all my gifts by sewing me all the furniture and bedding for a Barbie doll sized house that was left at our home when we bought it. The house was unrepairable and she used scrap carpet, linoleum, wallpaper, and paint to fix it up and then made me furniture. I loved it, she is so crafty and still gives the most thoughtful gifts.

My mom also had some neat Snow Globes that had Dreamsicle babies in them, or other various snow scenes of couples holding hands etc. I also remember laying under the Christmas three and looking up at the ornaments and lights on the tree. My mom had these two ornaments I loved to take down and play with. One was a wooden Pinocchio doll, the other was a teddy bear old an old fashioned red tricycle, the ones with the huge front wheel and the little back wheels.

So I am seriously thinking of switching to Vonage. I am about 98% committed and will probably call tomorrow to join up after I talk to Qwest one more time about canceling my service. I am just so tired of overpaying for my phone bill, it is just ridiculous to pay almost $100 for Internet and phone.
