This Boy of Mine!!

My Zac is a unique, amazing, frustrating young man. He always seems to do the right thing, I rarely worry about him. In fact a friend of mine that he babysits for once asked if I could bottle what ever I did with him, so she could give it to her boys. I quickly responded, that he just came that way. Another of Zac's qualities, I sometimes refer to as his blond side. He sometimes makes comments that leave us speechless, if you know what I mean.

The frustration comes in when school is involved. He is sooooo smart, but has struggled forever, with remembering to turn work in etc. We have pretty much known that he has ADD (attention deficit disorder) since about first grade, but we have tried to "deal" with it. Well, I have decided that we need to maybe do more. After his last grades came in, and emails and phone calls from teachers who can't understand what is going on. They too recognize that he is very intelligent, but not working up to his capabilities. Soooooo. . . I had him try his brothers medication on Sunday, he didn't act any different, he complained of a stomach ache, but he didn't have breakfast. For those of you not familiar with ADD, the only real way to know if your child has it, is if the medication works. (there are a lot of things that take place before this final step)

This is what I have been leading up to - today when he got home from school, he sat himself down at the table, and started doing his homework, then organizing his binder. I didn't know he had taken another pill this morning. Then, in classic Blond Zac fashion he says -
"You know what's weird about that medicine, it makes it hard for me to focus on more than one thing at a time"

PLEEEAAAASSSSSE!!

So this morning I tried to make a purchase on line. I got an email from the vendor saying my debit card had been declined! This was in instance that I knew there was plenty of money, so what is the problem. I called my bank and they informed me a new card was being sent, so the expiration date was now wrong. She couldn't just give me the new date, but wanted me to have the company call in for verification. I went to the website and used the "Live Chat". We went around the long way but finally got them to call. Here is the conv.

My name is Dianne. How may I assist you today?

Amy: I tried to order, and my bank refused payment. I called them and they need you to call them for verification. Apparently, I have a new card in the mail, and it has a different exp. date. That is why it isn't working.

Dianne: Good morning,.... do you know the new exp date? Newegg does not call for payment auth....

Amy: no, then why do you ask for the phone number?

Amy: I will try to use paypal again. The first time I tried that I got an error page.

Dianne: Would you like to me request a manual payment auth?

Amy: What is that?

Dianne: A supervisor will call the bank's auto verification...it's an automated system that can verify your card info

Amy: That would be what I asked for, so yes please do that.

Dianne: Hi, Amy...sorry for the delay..

Dianne: I have submitted the request..your bank will be called soon..you will receive an email later this a.m......Is there anything else I can assist you with today?

Amy: No, Thank you.

Dianne: My pleasure, Amy...have a great day!

Dianne: Bye!

Could somebody please give me back the 10 mins. I just lost!!!

Just for Fun!

My friend Mandee had this on her blog and I had to try it too. I don't know how accurate it is, I did get different results with different pictures.
