So it has been another stressful day here today. I'm having issues with our caller id. The telephone company came in and said that all is ok, must be the phone. I now realize that the caller id works only for calling waiting calls, but not for the first calls 
So I bring the phone to radio shack at their request as they wanted to look at it. It turns out that they don't even have caller ID at the store so they couldn't check it anyway. I bought what I thought was a replacement plan when they replaced our last phone for battery issues. Turns out that it is some plan that would require me to surrender the phone now and they would mail me a gift card in 5 - 7 days for the current price of the phone. Well the phone is on clearance and the only one left is the floor model. It will cost me at least another $30 to replace it. I was not happy with the representative the I spoke with on the warranty line and asked to speak to a supervisor only to be put on hold for 5 minutes and told by the same rep that the supervisor told her to tell me that what she had already told me was true. And I'm supposed to believe this why 
The only saving grace was that the salesperson at the local radio shack has gone above and beyond and called me when I got home to say that he has found a way around it. Apparently my original warranty hasn't been used So he will use that and replace the phone for me tomorrow. So that was several hours wasted today. I did manage to get to the stores while Colby was at school and I found most everything on the boys' lists for Christmas. I think I'll be able to find most everything else locally. It does look like Colby will only get the Goofy/Donald figurines for the Mickey Mouse Clubhouse, but hopefully we'll be able to find the other sets after Christmas and Donald is his favorite anyway. So now I'm trying to unwind and get to bed.

to everyone else. I am trying to catch up - glad to hear that so far, everyone had good Thanksgivings.
and 
for anyone that might need it!
I can't call for the sunrise safari because Disney isn't open yet. I can't pack anything becasue DS is still home. (And DH is still in bed, which is where I put the suitcase to pack it.) So. Here I am.
