And I was so happy

Last night I came home in such a good mood. Since Cindy has been seeking her phlebotomy certification, many family members have been selflessly flocking to her school to allow her to draw a few drops of their blood. Even though,for me getting blood drawn ranks about equal with smashing my head into a wall , I love my daughter and her education is very important to me so even though I was not allowed to participate for a few weeks due to my surgery I was back in the drawing chair as soon as her instructor would allow it. Last night was her last draw date and she started it needing twenty more draws to complete the hundred needed to apply for certification. Thankfully she , as usual , had a good turnout and soon she was down to one more. It just so happened that I had not yet taken a turn and so I headed to the draw area and without even feeling the pinch I became her number 100. Since I am a tough draw at best not to mention that my recent surgery and hospital stay had my veins ragged, I was so proud that she did so well.Add this pride to the pride that she will graduate with this degree on Monday and I was on cloud nine.Then I got home. As soon as I got home I decided to call my Mom and tell her the time of graduation. Unfortunately I had no dial tone and further inspection showed no DSL either. I called the phone company( via cell phone) but was told that they would not guarantee that anyone could fix my problem until Saturday.No phone or Internet for three days...( remember I have two driving teens) I couldn't imagine. Well after eight hours the DSL came back but I still have no home phone.This has me on pins and needles as even though I have a cell phone,what if something would happen and someone would need to get hold of me ? Seems that the phone company doesn't care how high this raises my anxiety level , they still are sticking to their maybe Saturday quote. So anyone who needs us... please try our cell phones and I will frantically bite my nails and pray that the issue gets resolved.......... And I was so happy !
