The Daily Grind ~ 2/10/15

[PrincessNancy96]

Good Morning!!!

Prayers and to all those in need..

Please send some good vibes that the post office delivers the kids' care packages.. They are somewhere in limbo between Indy and their destination. They were supposed to be delievered yesterday and the last note says they left Indy on 2/8@ 2:07am. I am just so sick of the USPS, I think it is time to boycott them for my deliveries... It's cheaper if I just drive the items to my kids from now on. I am so sad...


Today's agenda:

make lunches x 2
once over house
send DH off to work
DS14 up
DS14 to school
town to grab photos
scrap
pick up DS14
homework
select sketches for 2 small stacks (this weekends project)
list for tomorrow


I hope everyone has a great day!!!

Good Morning!

I feel your pain Nan - our post office is just awful! We get other peoples mail all the time and they get ours and sometimes our packages never arrive! Heck, our mail isn't even delivered until after 6pm! Anytime I order anything online or ship anything anymore, I always make sure its sent via FedEx or UPS. It's more $$ but at least I know it'll be delivered. And they wonder why the USPS gets such a bad name anymore, sigh! Hopefully the kids will get their packages today - maybe it was just a postal truck break down causing the delay...

Today:
Morning chores
Call Honda about recall repair on CRV
Clean cat food dishes
Clean all bathrooms
Wash bathroom rugs
Run to grocery
Scrap a couple pages
Crock pot chicken recipe for dinner
Walk after dinner

Enjoy your day!
Becky

Cassey, stay safe! friend of mine who lives just outside Boston said she got another 22" yesterday. Think the whole area should just shut down for the rest of the week!

Today is Megan's ortho appt. she is so tired of dealing with her pain and the crutches and is really feeling sad to be sitting out of her dance classes
even a possibility she won't be able to go to the dance convention the end of March. please say an extra prayer that we will get this all figured out today and she will be pain free soon!

Morning!

I have a USPS story too - I ordered books from e-bay and it took 2 days to get from California to Michigan - they arrived in Michigan on January 19 and I don't have them yet! Took my tracking number in to my post office and they just say they don't know!?! Frustrating!!

PrincessNancy96 - hope the kids get their care packages! And soon!
Poppins2000- getting your mail after 6 is crazy!
JJ&JHsmom- so much snow!
mommy2mrb- wishing the best for DD!!

today:
Coffee with Dsil
Laundry started
Vacuum
Plan to scrap
Supper- soup and sandwiches

Enjoy the day!

Well ladies... they are still in limbo..... I am fuming mad... but DH told me not to go in today because he didn't have time to bail me out with work meetings.. I am so disappointed... It'll be much easier for me to just drive things down mulitple times a month if the need would arise than to utilize the postal system again... I tell you if they tell me it is weather related I will blow as it was be delivered 3 hours away in the same state and no one has had anything but cold temps...

 

[PrincessNancy96]

Chae--- that is nuts... just nuts....


Good thing we aren't doing swaps on the boards any more.. could you imagine the chaos that we would be dealing with...and there really would be nothing we could do about it...

 

[PrincessNancy96]

Cassey-- hope you were able to work from home.. I would not want to drive in the MA area now for anything...

 

[JJ&JHsmom]

Yes, I was able to work from home. I don't want to drive here either! Hopefully the roads are okay today.
