Don't you just love it when...

You buy something on Ebay and it doesn't show up for a few weeks and you mention to the person that it still hasn't shown up, and they swear it was sent and you say "Are you sure, it might have been misplaced or something and thought to be sent" and they still swear it was sent and then they come back and say "omg, I'm so sorry I thought it was

It's funny, the weather this winter has been unusually mild and nice but the heating and electric bills are still so high, not sure why, but they still rip you off whether you use your gas alot or not.

Well, I had sent the person a few messages asking them to check to be sure it was sent, they said they did and yet I still hadn't gotten it, so I sent one last message and if I hadn't heard from them or received the item by the end of the week I would have contacted Ebay about it, cuz waiting over a month for bed sheets that is only from a few states over from me should NOT take over a month to get here. She said she's going to send them today...hopefully. I should get thme before the end of the week.

My son is in 3rd grade and I do believe it is for attention, but talking to him got me no where...his answers are "I don't know" when I ask him why he doesn't hand in his homework he worked so hard on or why he acts up in schooo...I get the same answer...I've also already talked to the teacher about it, as she asked for the meeeting...and she believesi t to be the same thing, just attention cuz he's a smart kid and before I started working, he was doing really well in school and got great report cards...but now his report card has gotten dramatically worse and there's no real reason for it aside from wanting attention...but if working is going to cause him to do bad in school, heck, I don't want that...you know...I want him to do his best at all times...plus I'm so tired lately and worn out, I can't give 100% to my family these days...everything is slacking, housework, dinner hasn't really all that home cooked lately, and I haven't had much energy to do much with them lately...so I dunno...like I said, I have many reasons to want to quit, but my son slacking at school was one of the big reasons...and I've tried talking to him about why I am working and such...but I don't think it really matters to him much...

*hugs*, it does sound like juggling family life, and work can be tough, and I think it really is just acting out for attention based on what I have read. Can you afford not to work right now, you did mention the high bills, and yeah they do seem higher this year, even though the weather and tempertures have been for the most part mild.
Your reply on the ebay thing reminded me that I had to do a rating for a seller that I bought a book from off Amazon, thanks I think I might have forgotten and unlike the troubles you have had this has been a really smooth sale, the book arrived in less than a week in excellent condition. Things will get better, it just seems like you need to slow down a bit, although I am one to talk on advice there, when I am continually busy myself.
