Today's ramblings...

Parker told Bill this morning to tell me to get my camera and to take a picture. This is what I came into Coley's room and found. How sweet! Of course now Cole wants to climb up in the glider now by himself. Great!

Misc things that happened today....a little venting...maybe

We were out and about all of us for a bit today and were almost hit THREE times within like 10 minutes. Two of those were probably half mile from each other. People not paying attention and wanting to pull out from side streets. One was an elderly ladythat we tested our anti-lock brakes on and then she had the nerve to cut in a long line of traffic turning left. She wasn't hesitant about it either she gassed on it after holding up traffic. Some people.

Let's see the mail came today and STILL NO FREAKING SANTA PICTURES! I ordered them on December 10 from Sam's Club photo online. DO NOT EVER USE THEM PLEASE. I've called and emailed and when I call oh they were mailed on the 12th and probably got put into regular mail instead of the PRIORITY (in which I paid extra for) in that case she told me 5-7 days. That was Wednesday when I called. I was like HELLO 7 days would have been TODAY (when I called Wed.). She did say she would refund my shipping. Well I get an email response back today and it says my photos were mailed ON OR AROUND 12/20. What in the heck? So I call the 1 800 number to ask about my order this afternoon and they know NOTHING of the emailed response and under my order number it says they were mailed on the 11th. Ughh! And she states that they don't know who did the email because they don't handle that. Double ughh! So I replied back to the email telling them to just give me a refund because I have NO CONFIDENCE in them getting me my photos. I also mentioned the I WILL NEVER use them AGAIN and I will tell my friends that too. I have yet
to hear back on that. So I guess I'll just stick with my trusted sites when it comes to pictures.

Then I went to Dillards with both boys to get Bill a gift. The lady that was helping me handed me off to another girl so she could help someone else. Well she was going to wrap what I was buying for me...I looked desperate chasing both boys around Dillards...lol. Well the new girl said oh I wrapped a bunch of those earlier. So I get home tonight to put a bow on it as they were all out and low and behold the chick gave me the WRONG one. I saw the sticker on the wrapping paper and I noticed it wasn't correct so I opened it. So nowI get to go back to the mall this weekend amidst all the crazy shoppers who have not finished their shopping. UGHH!

I forgot to mention that when we came home there was a HUGE box at my door. Luckily we came home the back way from Sams and P didn't see the box at the door. Well it was the boys' train table. Well I couldn't figure how to get that darn 100 lb box either in the house or into the garage...yes I did actually think and try to get it there too. Only made it about a 5 inches. My next idea was to sneek in the front door and drag it as quickly as possible to my closet since the boys were eating dinner in the kitchen (Bill is working tonight thats why he's not helping). I have to say it was a success and P didn't even know that I moved anything inside. lol Thank goodness he was hungry. Only thing is my wrists are a little scratched up from the box.

Whew, if you made it this far your good. Lol just my ramblings....

Sounds like you had a rough day. But, it definitely wasn't all bad - not with a great photo of your kids like that one! You're amazing.
