No offense to all you who have IPhones and love them. I only had mine for 3 weeks but I wasn't impressed with it. It was much more simple than I thought it would be. There weren't as many widgets and functions as my husband's droid had. So I sent my IPhone back and ordered a Samsung Captivate (Galaxy S) And I LOVE IT. It has 16 GB built in memory card and you can put in an additional sd micro card of up to 32 additional GB. I only got a 8 GB micro sd card because that's what Walmart had. I was going to get a 16 but I didn't want to order it off the internet and wait on it. Office Max nor Walmart either one had a 16 GB micro sd card. I only wanted the sd card so I can load all mu music (700 songs) onto the card and not have it take up a lot of room on the phone. My husband showed me how to move all my music over from ITunes. Once it was done I only have 3 GB left on the sd card. But I don't need it for anything else. Unless I take a lot of pictures then I might put those on the sd card.
If you are considering getting a droid, Samsung Captivate 2 comes out September 18th. Watch some You Tube videos on the Captivate 1. It is so much more awesome than an IPhone. Just the amount of apps and widgets that come on the phone pre-loaded is a lot. And the droid app market has a lot more variety of apps and games for less money on most apps and games. A few of the big games I bought cost the same on the droid as it did on the IPhone. Jeopardy and Wheel of Fortune. They were both $4.99.
I know some of you are die-hard IPhone lovers and don't want to ever give up the IPhone, but if you ever really investigate a droid...well I can't speak for just any droid. I have heard there are quite a few that suck ass. But this Captivate is a bad ass phone.
Now when I first got my IPhone I liked it. I was impressed with it only compared to the non smart phone I had been using for the last 2 years. I went app crazy. Mostly free games for the kids but some paid apps and games. But as I compared my IPhone to my husband's droid phone I felt like I was gypped. Fortunately for me, once you upgrade your line and get a new phone you have 30 days to return it and get something else. So with less than a week to spare I sent back the IPhone and ordered the droid. And in true AT&T style they over-nighted that BITCH to me and I got it today. I just ordered the MF'er YESTERDAY!! He told me it would be here Friday! Yay for overnight shipping.
In other news...just 51 more days!! 51 short days. Less than 2 months to go until our 10 day vacation at Disney/Universal!! I know my husband is going to be so gawd dayum glad once this trip is over so he won't have to hear me talk about Disney anymore. I will probably still talk about it though. Maybe even more once I have been there and fell in love with it!
The kids have been in school almost a month now. My son has adjusted and is doing ok in his class but my daughter has still been having issues with a mean teacher. She has 3 teachers. They change classes 3 times so there is no way for her to get away from this teacher or get another teacher because there are just 3 of them. No alternates to swap out classes with. I finally had heard enough and decided to write the teacher a letter and also send a copy of it to the school's guidance councilor and the principal. I want her to know, she may not like my daughter. She may be mean to my daughter. But she is going to have to deal with me ALL PHUCKING YEAR. If this letter doesn't change her attitude, or even better, makes it worse (as retaliation against DD) I will call and make a parent teacher conference with the principal. My DD asked me this morning not to give them the letters because she is just SURE this is going to make this woman worse against her. This is a teacher who, at the beginning of the year, stood in front of the class for half an hour telling/warning the kids just how mean and stubborn she is. Forewarning them? But I told her in the letter how ridiculous I thought that was. I told her she does not have permission to HOLLER at my daughter in front of the whole class for ANY reason. I told her she shouldn't be yelling at ANYBODY'S kids to begin with.
She keeps getting onto my daughter for talking. My daughter is not a talker. She never has been. Not one time AT ALL EVER since the first day she started school at 5 years old has she EVER got in trouble for anyt hing. Not even talking. And I don't think for one minute that my daughter decided after 11 years to all of a sudden become a talker and disruptive to the class. Every time my daughter comes home and tells me the teacher hollered at her and threatened to send her to the principal's office my daughter tries to tell her it was not SHE who was talking and tries to tell the teacher who IT WAS talking and the teacher tells her she doesn't want to hear it and if she says another word she is going to the pricipal. It has my daughter so stressed and devastated that she is being picked on. My daughter is usually the one the teacher loves because she sits quietly, does her work, doesn't bother anybody, dresses like she is suppose to and doesn't talk out. Every teacher she has ever had has bragged to me that they wish all the students could be like Katelyn. Until this year. ONE TEACHER. The other 2 teachers have not gotten onto my daughter for talking ONCE. SO not only did my daughter just decide to become a talker all of a sudden but she decided to just do it in ONE CLASS. I don't think so.
I hope for my daughter's sake she doesn't get treated worse because of me trying to stand up for her.
I will keep you updated and let you know what becomes of it or what happens after this letter today.
Have a good Labor Day weekend. Don't drink and drive, don't eat too many hot dogs and wear your sunscreen. =)
