I am totally losing my marbles!

I was laying in bed reading my book when suddenly I remembered that I had NOT received the American Girl Doll and video game that I ordered in early December. I quickly got out of bed and checked through my emails and then went directly to my account at American Girl. Based on the order number, I had no history .... AHHHHHHHHHHHH!

Quickly I am emailing the company begging them for info on the whereabouts of the doll my daughter has been asking for. Then on a whim I decided to check my husbands closet where I am stashing the gifts. ALL of my online orders are still in the boxes (unopened). I know that sound crazy to do, but as a gift came into my house I quickly wisked it away so no questions would be asked.

WELL, guess what? The doll and game have been found in the box which (I knew) never says AMERICAN GIRL PLACE on it ... just the address. I am such a dum dum.

Now I need to write another email to AG saying how sorry I am for the confusion. CLEARLY I am a confused lady.

Very easily done! At least you had it rather than the alternative - can you imagine trying to track one down at this late stage!! We have unopened boxes too. Noteably a huge dolls house to build. It is going to be a busy weekend!
Have a very Merry Christmas!

THANK GOODNESS you had it! WHEW! I bet it would have been hard to track it down and get it delivered on time at this point especially since we are starting a weekend.

Whew - glad you found it! I have presents stashed all over the place here... some upstairs, some in the basement, some in the top of my closet and some in the bottom. I hope I can remember everything I've bought. I never understood how my mom could - months later - appear with something and say that it was supposed to be for Christmas. Now that I have children, I totally understand!

Momto5minnies meets the Pioneer Woman!

I read her blog and knew that she was coming into town for her book signing and I thought about going, but I also knew it was the day that I was getting my braces off (MONDAY 11/9). On Sunday night before, my husband made a quick trip to Walmart and brought home a flyer saying how Ree Drummond (The Pioneer Woman) was coming the next day. I'm not sure if my husband was more excited about me getting my braces off the next day or having me MEET THE PIONEER WOMAN. I guess I really did want to go, but now I HAD TO GO! Monday was a crazy day ... jitters in the am 4.6 mile run to make me feel relaxed (it was also my longest run yet) drop the 12 year old at her homeschool art class quick trip to Walmart (to see if there were Pioneer Woman cookbooks ... no luck, but my husband picked me up a few ... I'm gifting some for Christmas). home to throw a pot roast in the crockpot braces removal at 11:30am dentist visit at 1pm usual afterschool chaos of swim team home for a 30 minute rest wa...

A scattered post ...

I throw myself into stuff all the time.  It can be anything from the start of a swim season, a new school year, the election, a vacation, an exercise routine etc.  I'm kind of in a phase where I really don't know what my focus should be.  I turned on the television and honestly, I have no idea what is on this fall season ... NO IDEA AT ALL .  If I watched television in the past few months, it was something kid related or Fox News. I NEED A NEW FOCUS. My current thoughts  ... reading a fictional, just for fun book stepping up my exercise routine thinking about our Christmas wish lists and shopping baking more ... I really am slacking in this area ways to save money so that we can get a new (second) washer and dryer for the upstairs (not a fancy kind because this would mostly be used by my oldest two children)... I actually have hookups. I wonder if a lot of people go through a sort of "lull" period this time of the year.  Surely it doesn't last long with the start ...

Not a lot has changed ...

As a puppy he always liked a warm spot. We call Comet our "close talker" (from Seinfeld) because he is in your face and always a little too close for our comfort level. The girls don't seem to mind, but it can be a little annoying for my husband and I. Really, he is a fabulous dog. He listens well and is so gentle with everyone. *We don't let Comet on furniture ... except for the playroom/schoolroom couch. There he enjoys relaxing and being read to by one of the girls. SPOILED POOCH!
