OMG!! I am ready to chow on a pot of mac n cheese! My DD is in Tampa (she moved there to get her residency and go to college) she is 19...she misses IL and is coming back to go to school, work, and then after grad. she will do whatever. We bought a condo in Tampa for her to live in, for residency. Cheaper than out of state room and board at the university.
WELL, to move her back, it was cheaper to hire a moving company to get her stuff, furniture, etc. than for us to fly down, and drive a truck back.
Movers hired said they would be there yesterday (monday) between 2-4. No show. I call, they say they will be there Tues. between 8-1. 8-1!!!! DD friend (who came down to help pack and drive back with her) calls at 1 my time and says not there. I call movers, blah blah blah. THey will be there in 1 hour (by 3 their time) No show. DD friend calls me and says they called and they were getting something to eat and they will be there by 5:30. I am trying to get hold of moving company, no avail. between their number not being avail., being disconnected, talking to 10 different people...OMG!!!:mad:
I tell them at 5:50 that if I don't get answers in 10 minutes, I am cancelling my deposit w/credit card company, and calling the Better Bus. Bur. to file a complaint. She is going to have someone call me back.
6:05...DD calls and they are there. 6:07...DD calls and they are informing them that they do not do STAIRS: they are on the 2nd floor...that will be an extra charge. Mind you, I have a contract that states stairs. I am trying to call company, and getting voice mail! DD also tells me that they won't take her furniture, they only take boxes. AND they won't carrry everything to the truck because of where they are, they can't pull the truck to the door. I call co. back and he says thats ridiculous, and puts me on hold, in the meantime, DD friend calls on my other phone (I now have 2 phones--one on each ear) and is telling me more, I tell her to tell them to just leave. She gets the mover on phone, I tell them to leave her stuff, and just leave. Forget it. Company gets back on the phone, and I tell them that I told them to go, they freak out, and tell me now they won't come back. Can you believe it?????
Now I call my DD, to tell them not to leave, and they are gone. Fine, we'll deal with that. THe comp. tells me they are just being difficult, and I won't have to pay more. Too late!
I go to my home office to get charge bill that just came to cancel the deposit, and their bus. office is closed. With that, my DD calls and tells me the movers are back. Better attitude, but can't wrap her furniture. They don't have anything....I still haven't heard from the moving company.
How about that macaroni and cheese??? I started Atkins 65 days ago, NEVER cheated....that is the only thing holding me together.
Will white wine mess with my sugar/carbs??? I think I need to calm down. I just want her to get home and safely at that.
DH came home for 5 minutes during the time that DD called to tell me that they don't do stairs, and left to go to meeting at the church.
:( AARRRGGGHHHH!!!
 
hang in there! that mac-n-cheese will only temporarily make you feel better and then you'll have guilt trips and regret. If you really really need that nasty old fake cheesy stuff then do it and don't look back, just start over tomorrow. But really really think this through. How about a walk? How about some yoga? Do you have some de-stressing music to listen too??

I'm sorry to hear about your traumas of the day! Whew! Hang in there :)
 
White wine is GREAt for Atkins and stress - enjoy! I did a whole bottle one night (to my chagrin - actually turns out it was only 1/2 bottle - my DH was yanking my chain) but that was only about 9 carbs! Better wine than mac-n-chez!

Oh no! Sorry to hear about this nightmare with the movers! Take some deep breaths! Step away from the mac and cheese! You can do it!

Sending you pixie dust for a calm and happy resolution to this problem!

~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~

Don't blow your losing streak over this, you have done GREAT! Go scream into a pillow or something, but don't stress eat!

Hang in there!
 

Good grief!! What a totally stressing day you are having!! This must be the worst moving company in the history of all moving companies!

That mac and cheese won't make you feel better at all. Try a nice glass of white wine and some deep breathing. Also mental imagery might help. Picturing a piano dropping out of a window onto the movers might be just the thing!! ;) (Just kidding, WISH is a non-violent board!)

You are just 2 pounds away from the GOLD!!! Yellow mac and cheese can't substitute for real gold, can it?? Stay strong!! I know you can do it!!:D
 
Thanks for letting me vent! I am doing much better...I immersed myself in the internet. Checking out lame webpages was just the trick. No mac n cheese, no candy, no wine. Just me and my faithful computer. I should give him a name...
Anyway, DD called and the movers were back and moving her stuff. No pads on furniture, though. Tomorrow is another day, all will be well when she makes it home safely!
Thanks for your support!
 
I just wanted to wish you well.

You can do it.

God bless, best wishes, and encouragement, RaySharpton:)
 
I am so sorry that you have had such a rough day. I'm glad to hear that things are looking better and that you sat down with the trusted computer instead of your bowl of mac & cheese. I am sure that you will be feeling better in the morning about that decision.

Hang in there, tomorrow is a new day:D .

Phew! That is some great news (about you surviving your potential binge and your daughter moving home ok now!)

Good for you for posting here to ask for support! YOU ARE WONDERFUL!!!! Now you get to wake up feeling great about yourself instead of beating yourself up for eating a lousy bowl of Mac and Cheese! Hooray for you!!!!!!!
