Dinner
You know you want to always please everyone most of the time, but, I have come to terms with the fact that this is not possible!
Mr.Wonderful was not hungry at all and totally nixed the late Chinese delivery option and my Teenage daughter was STARVING, but, chose to microwave a can of beef stew (YECH!) instead of having grilled cheese and soup so now I am left to fend for myself...maybe I'll share Jack's Cheerios??
Grrrr! What's with my mail comming OPENED!!!
You know you want to just open your mailbox and find all of your mail neatly piled in the box..UNOPENED... Well, that's not the case around here!
Last year I had to go down to my post office in person to complain about the condition of my mail. Magazines were wet and really dirty, almost like they had been driven over with a car and some of my letter mail was partially opened!!
I have now reached my breaking point! Today, the mail man walked across my lawn AS USUAL ..did I mention that I'm not pleased about this either, he put the mail in the box and he walked down my driveway. I opened my door, reached into the mail box and pulled out a hand full of envelopes and fliers.
What a shock!! The thick envelope I received from BzzAgent had been tampered with! It was opened across the seal 3/4 of the way and torn up to the seam! I have no idea if anything had been removed from the envelope! This has been happening on a continuous basis and I think it is not only upsetting, but, also a huge breach of my privacy!
Just last week I had mentioned to my friend Brittany how frustrated I was when I received some powdered nutrition samples for Jack. These samples came in a box sealed with a circular sticker on both ends. One end had the sticker peeled away and the corner of the box opening had been torn as if someone had opened it by sticking their finger inside and opening the box.
There are many more stories like these and I am not feeling as forgiving now that it has been going on this long and it is happening a lot more frequently!!!
Instead of throwing a "Jack-Like" tantrum, I instead chose to call the Canada Post customer service number I found on the web. I was on hold for 15 minutes and after explaining my concerns to the very pleasant operator on the other end, I was assured that this matter would be investigated and after she gave me an account number, she advised me that someone would be in touch with me in regard to this issue......Any guesses on how long this will take...????

What's for Dinner?
I'm not really in the mood to cook tonight! The weather is lousy, I have a headache, my car has a flat tire and I am feeling a little cranky:{
Mr.Wonderful will be home with our beautiful Teenage daughter around 3:15 and they will either be STARVING or just hungry. If they are just hungry I may suggest Chinese delivery since a) We all love it, b) There are always plenty of left overs and c) I am lazy today so I think I will be a much happier camper if they choose this option:)
However, if they opt for STARVING..grilled cheese and soup it is!
Jack.."Story Teller"
You know you want to be able to understand everything your toddler is trying to tell you, but, let's face it...I don't think they always know themselves!
My son Jack is 14 months old.
Today is a rainy day so we are stuck inside with only toys and Tree House to help ease the pain of being cooped up and with the odd helping of Cheerios to keep him from having a complete melt down, I am able to finally at NOON have my first cup of morning coffee..or as I'd like to call it LIQUID LIFE:)
Jack brings me his favorite toys, mostly ones that make noises and light up, while babbling away an array of words he actually knows and other sounds that I call "FILLERS". These fillers are jumbles of consonants and vowels he likes to jibber jabber when he is telling me something.
"Ma maaaaa, gnoof em bloon bloon mig craaa-kerr!" ~This means," Mom I want a cracker."
Jack is very affectionate and gives tons of hugs & kisses throughout the day, but, man does he get frustrated when I don't understand what he is trying to say! He repeats it over and over which quickly leads to a whining and a somewhat aggressive display of aggravation!
BRING ON THE CHEERIO'S!!!!! Thank you Cheerio's:)
How Interesting...
You know you want to hide under the covers when the phone rings early in the morning...Today I received a phone call at 8am.
I do not like mornings AT ALL but this call was definitely worthy of disrupting my sleep! My informant, (Lets call him Mr.Wonderful), is calling to tell me there has been a product recall of Pillar's meats! He does not have exact details but thankfully the call came early enough to stop my daughter from taking the ham sandwich she had packed for lunch and possibly starting our journey with Listeria!
Heads up people. It appears out province is having a huge issue with providing us with safe meat. First Maple Leaf (Listeria in the machinery)..then Schneider's (Needles found in hot dogs) and now PILLAR'S!!!!! OK....I get the hint! Salad it is...who knows...with this new diet, I just might not have to roll myself to the beach after all! :)
