Today is a perfect example of why I should NOT plan my days out...it really does not help me be productive!
After dropping off Mr D at school I ran to
WalMart and Home Depot. I had a couple things to check out...I am going to freshen up the kids/ guest bath before Christmas. Nothing too major, just paint, new towels, that sort of thing.
I was able to find the color of seafoam towels I was looking for and a few decorative items in a dark gray. At Home Depot I was able to find the right color of gray for the paint, but still decided to bring home the chip to make sure it would work in my windowless bathroom.
I found all the other materials I needed...and added the price to my budget and came home rather happy.
I was also able to FINALLY find some long sleeved onesies for Miss Mia's Thanksgiving shirt.
I made the pumpkin bread for this weekend...and went to work patching the few tiny holes that were there along with the rather obnoxious large one from the door knob hitting the wall! I can't tell you how much I HATE that!
By the time I finished that...my goal was to have the router so I could get it set up ..... before I have to go back to school to get Mr D.
Instead...I now have to go back to WalMart to take 2 items back, go back to Home Depot to pick up the paint (I knew I should have gotten it while I was there) and to pick up my meds. (it was not written on my list of things to do I was just supposed to remember it!)
And I have spent the better part of the last hour on the phone with Fed Ex, the Post Office, the PX, and then back to the Post Office and back to Fed Ex!
My package is missing somewhere...or not. According to Fed Ex it was delivered and they are no longer on the hook. According to the Post Office Fed Ex changed the address on the package and it was sent to another city. Fed Ex says they were only to deliver it to the post office...after that it was the responsibility of the post office to deliver it correctly. (Evidently delivering it to the RIGHT post office is not their responsibility!)
The Post Office said they sent it back to Fed Ex in Atlanta. Fed Ex said they have no record.
Fed Ex said I changed the delivery address (?????) so it is my fault! The address I supposedly changed it to? Well that would be MY CORRECT ADDRESS!
The PX will not consider it as being missing or lost until after it has been missing or lost for TEN days!
Are you dizzy yet? I am!
So, what do I have to show for my day? Well, I have to leave in an hour and a half to pick up Mr D...I have a little over 2 hours of errands to run, and I still have not had lunch....but I do know that my new router is...somewhere enjoying a nice little trip! And not going to be set up this weekend since FedEx does not work on Saturdays and will not get to my complaint until ...maybe Monday!
(At least it was on sale, and if the PX has to resend it I will still get the sale price.)

The family is pretty self-sufficient now a days. LOL They've learned...
that you depart the day we arrive.
