Just in case

Life with two 15 year olds has it's challenges!  We have a 200GB data allowance on our internet and so far this month my boys have used 94% of that - 4% in the last two days and we have 12 days left!  I don't think we are going to make it.  Today, at risk of much screaming etc, I am turning their internet off in the hopes that we can last till the 25th!  They will be allowed 2 hours a day unless they use too much in that time!  They will NOT be happy!  Why am i boring you with this?  Because if they use too much our internet will slow down and I wont be able to post!!!!  NOT HAPPY!!!!    and even worse, their father won't be able to do work when he is at home - doesn't even bear thinking about !  So, if I am absent for a week or so you know why - a few prayers won't go astray as if my kids don't have internet for the remainder of that time they are going to be SO GRUMPY!  and I have to live with them - school holidays don't end till Monday!

Till next time......happy stitching............I hope!

  1. How lucky I am that my kids are all grown up and my grand kids are too young for computer-driven activities. Good luck with the GRUMPS!

  2. Man! I remember our kids blowing out our internet allowances! Dang kids!!! But when they are away from home and older, you will miss them terribly.

  3. Oh how I remember life with three boys, of course we had different issues when they were growing up. What is that saying "If MaMa ain't happy, ain't nobody happy." They can suffer a little, so Dad can get his work done and Mom can touch base with her friends. But if we don't hear from you, we know why.

  4. I am not familiar with an internet allowance? Is this common in Australia or other places? I would probably be horrible with using too much if I had an allowance. : (

  5. Maybe they'll actually talk to each other or play a game! Haha. Good Luck.

  6. Wow - you are lucky you have 200GBs! I don't think we even have half of that, though thankfully I am the only one who reguarly uses it. The net connection does slow down considerably halfway through the week though! Prayers for patience and sanity coming your way!

  7. Good luck, Jan-Maree! Hang in there, be firm! It's amazing what we get used to having...the internet is such a big part of our lives now.

  8. Allowance?! Oh my goodness, I couldn't do it. I have no idea how this is figured or how much 200GBs would be, but it doesn't matter....when the grandkids are here, the TV and computer are on 24/7. When hubby watches TV, I get bored and use the computer as an escape from his CSI/western movie addiction! Here's hoping that we still hear from you in a few days!

  9. Wow - 200GB! We have only 60GB/mth and we get a warning message when we reach a specific limit. When the message pops up I get all panicky and threaten my son too! How did we ever manage when we were kids/teens??

  10. I am going to miss you if you can not post. Hang in there it is all going to be good. Does your internet company not offer you unlimited internest access?
