I really dislike making phone calls. I just don't like talking on the phone. I don't even like to schedule appointments. It just seems like a huge waste of time. Isn't there someway I can schedule appointments online?!
But this afternoon, I sucked it up and got some appointments made. Two doctor appointments for Kolby next week. And I found out when I can register Sage for kindergarten.
Yes, 3 phone calls and I'm pretty sure that is some kind of record.
And I have realized that having a baby in August is going to be somewhat stressful. As if having a baby isn't stressful.
Registration starts the 11th of August. My due date is the 15th. Not that I've actually made it to a due date. So, that means I'll have four kids to take to the school to pick up a packet to register my firstborn for school. I bet I won't cry at all. I hope you are sensing the sarcasm.
And then kindergarten starts the 24th.
All this from making phone calls. See, why I don't like making them?
Am I the only one with this dislike of making phone calls?
No, I HATE making phone calls too! I wish everything could be done online. And then, half the time you're stuck with someone with a thick accent that you can't understand! Not that there's anything wrong with an accent, but it just makes things so much more difficult.
ReplyDeleteI don't mind making phone calls.
ReplyDeleteI am in the same boat with being due right around the first day of school. It will be interesting, especially since I have to have a c-section and will be in the hospital for 4 days. Whomever watches the kids will have their work cut out for them with all that beginning of the year craziness. And then I won't be able to drive for 2 weeks and the school is far away...or lift anything heavier than the baby. Good golly, I am scaring myself all of a sudden.
Just posted about this on facebook. I ABHOR the phone. HATE it. Which is why you and I have talked what, like twice on the phone in the last 8 years?
ReplyDeleteI pile up all of my phone calls and stress about it for days and then finally MAKE them and half the time I end up leaving a message on someone's machine, anyway.
Oh well.
Anyway, you're not alone in your hate of the phone.
I HATE making phone calls. I think for me, it is some kind of reclusive instinct.
ReplyDeleteI avoid phone calls whenever can :)
ReplyDeleteYou aren't alone, friend. I don't like them either! I acutally used to sorta like talking on the phone. This was pre-kids! My time is so limited now, that talking on the phone is is a distraction. When I do talk on the phone, the girls always seem to time their meltdowns appropriately :) If I have a few free moments, I would just rather savor the quiet. Thus, I feel a bit of a recluse at times, but thanks to email and blogging...I am slightly connected to the world :)) How's that for my rambling phone entry! BTW, if you need any help in August, do let me know! I'd love to help in any way I can. :)
ReplyDeleteKyle's the same way - he hates calling people! And that explains why I never hear from YOU! ;) Thanks okay, I can stay caught-up thru email and blogging for now.
ReplyDeleteHope you're doing well! So excited for baby #4!!!
Shouldn't everyone be "online" by now?? :)
ReplyDeleteGirl, I have your back in August! You let me watch the middles while you register or do whatever you need!
