*sigh* my tomtom came, and it's not working =..(  email this discussion to a friend?

myLot reputation of 92/100. 4cuteboys (2889)   ranked 983 out of 32,962 in life 5 years ago

I quit! today has been the worst day ever. Baby spent the entire day screaming. The 2 year old was into everything. Hubby was emailing me, then suddenly says bye. thats it. So I am waiting for his phone call that never came. :( So I called him and he didnt answer. I text messaged him and he didnt answer. I might as well cancel his phone, whats the point in having one if you dont answer, call or text?
So then the UPS guy shows up with my GPS. here I am all excited I break it out of the box, and hook it to the mac. Well um yeah, I followed all the instructions and the activation code was wrong. So I call tomtom customer service. The lady has me do all this stuff, and nothing worked including a new activation code. So she says i'll transfer you upstairs, then the baby started screaming so loud I couldnt hear and had to hang up. The other three were getting into every thing while I was on the phone. This is so ridiculous. So now I have a husband that can't call or email when he says he will, 3 kids that run rampid when I am on the phone, or busy. A baby that screams all day and night, and a faulty $300 gps.
Sorry no real question. I just wanted to vent. I'll just go cry now.

Oh my, what a day. Take a couple of deep breaths and relax a minute. It sounds like you are just ready to explode. Wait till the kids calm down and try the phone call again. Your husband should at least answer you. Hopefully he is just busy and can't get back to you. Get the kids to bed early and take a hot bubble bath. Hope tomorrow goes a little better.

What on earth is a tomtom? Do I want to know? Just what are you and hubby doing on the computer, hmmmm. LOL I'm sure there is a good reason why he did not call you back or answer his message. I hope everything is ok. You know what you need? Handcuffs and maybe super glue. lol


myLot reputation of 92/100. 4cuteboys (2889)   ranked 983 out of 32,962 in life  5 years ago

ha, he has handcuffs, he is a cop.
;)
Nah he was emailing from work, he doesnt have internet in his home yet. Tomtom is a GPS. LOL. did you think i ordered a mail order husband named tomtom?


myLot reputation of 58/100. Swtrose (1331)   ranked 7,038 out of 32,962 in life  5 years ago

Well we all know what a BOB is so heaven know what you ordered. Handcuffs+Kids=Missing key. :)


myLot reputation of 58/100. Swtrose (1331)   ranked 7,038 out of 32,962 in life  5 years ago

Have you seen my s? If you find it, could you put it on know.:)


myLot reputation of 92/100. 4cuteboys (2889)   ranked 983 out of 32,962 in life  5 years ago

HA a bob and a tomtom are nothing alike, although it would be an interesting contraption if they were lol.

No handcuffs, I have to be able to get up 3943842731742 times tonight with the baby and 2 year old..grrrr


myLot reputation of 58/100. Swtrose (1331)   ranked 7,038 out of 32,962 in life  5 years ago

I meant to handcuffs the children to the couch while you are on the phone. lol


myLot reputation of 92/100. 4cuteboys (2889)   ranked 983 out of 32,962 in life  5 years ago

they would get out, i have a pod of tricksters here. there is no stopping them :(


myLot reputation of 92/100. 4cuteboys (2889)   ranked 983 out of 32,962 in life  5 years ago

i was thinking i could handcuff myself to something and then i wouldnt have to get up and see their messy room, blah


myLot reputation of 93/100. foxyfire33 (5787)   ranked 1,093 out of 32,962 in life  5 years ago

OK so I usually don't get into these kind of things but the BOB and tomtom contraption had me rolling LOL! I think BOBs exist because men don't have tomtoms of their own...now put a tomtom ON a BOB and we'd have it made lol.


myLot reputation of 92/100. 4cuteboys (2889)   ranked 983 out of 32,962 in life  5 years ago

OMG HAHAHAHHAAHA tomtom+BOB=love!

Hopefully you're asleep by now so I'll just say Good morning and here's hoping for a brighter day today!

I don't know what the weather was like for you today (Thurs.) but it was SOOO hot here. I think it makes everyone cranky. If you still need to make your phone call and everyone is acting up maybe you can let the older 2 "swim" in the bathtub or all three of them if your bathroom is set up so you can still see them from a different room while the baby naps. If nothing like that will work set the 3 older ones up at the table with popsicles...if their mouths are busy they can't bug you too much. It doesn't solve the problem if the baby is screaming but maybe he'll take a nap for you at least once during the day.

Big hugs!!!


myLot reputation of 92/100. 4cuteboys (2889)   ranked 983 out of 32,962 in life  5 years ago

LOL omg that was great. I love the "it will keep their mouths busy" part. hehhehehe thats a good idea, or even playdoh or something that usually hushes them up.lol

So sorry for your terrible day yesterday.

But I think you just miss your husband that's why you think everything else is going wrong. I mean, if hubby just called or texted, nothing else will probably seem so wrong. Hope you got to talk to him again.

About the Tomtom, try calling their service center again, and if still doesn't work, send it back. Hope you have a better day today.

Hello 4cuteboys.

I'm so sorry to hear about the dreadful day that you had, and I hope that things are better for you now.

I must ask you something. How far did you throw the TomTom? I bet you could chunk that thing some distance!

I was in BestBuy yesterday and I saw a display of Tom Tom's and I actually said to myself, 'I need to hear what 4cuteboys says about hers before I buy one of these.' Ha!


myLot reputation of 92/100. 4cuteboys (2889)   ranked 983 out of 32,962 in life  5 years ago

HA! It works now!! I am such a master. I didnt throw it. It is the size of a softball though and I considered it. I figured out it doesn't like my mac OS and I had to use it on the windows computer..
It's pretty neat. I downloaded baskin robbins, retail shopping and dunkin donuts points of interest to it. teehee


myLot reputation of 93/100. Transdisc (18434)  5 years ago

That's Great!!

I had actually wondered if it was a conflict with the Mac, but didn't say anything.

You are the master! :)


myLot reputation of 92/100. 4cuteboys (2889)   ranked 983 out of 32,962 in life  5 years ago

LOL!! They had like zero mac support over the phone too, lame! Good thing I had a windows computer too, what about people that just have mac's. that would be stinky!


myLot reputation of 93/100. Transdisc (18434)  5 years ago

Thanks for the Best Response, 4cuteboys! :)
