I need a HUGE margarita. Nine days ago I ordered a die for our die cut machine so we could cut out 1000 felt mittens for a craft event. It was supposed to arrive in 5-7 days. I call the customer service and he says "Your order is fine." No, it's not because I haven't received it! He goes into some tale of woe about how busy they are, but says he'll get it shipped out today and rush it. I ask what he means by "rush". He says next week sometime. That gives me 2 weeks-2 WEEKS to do 1000 cuts!!! I expressed my displeasure but I think he was a robot, 'cause I got nothing!
Hey guys--If you all are interested in support the soldiers during the holidays please zap me an email at This email address is being protected from spambots. You need JavaScript enabled to view it.. I have a friend that is deploying as we speak with her battalion of Military Police to Afghanistan (the MPs are truly some of the toughest soldiers in the Army). I also have a small detachment of 5 Marine Counterintelligence guys in Iraq that need some taco bell hot sauce. I don't want to post the addresses here because I cannot control who mails to them...but if you are in the holiday mood you can really help their spirits with a note and a candy hug. So zap me a note and I'll be happy to give you the address for support. This is a terrific school project too...even if the kids just write notes...d
Wow, I take an afternoon off and you guys go wild.(sick child-today is 4th day, but he's getting Grandpa treatment today).
My actions:
Continue my work on the district reading program.
Keep volunteering with my adorable first graders.
Adopt a family from the homeless shelter for Christmas. Did that last year and it opened my eyes to what's important: the mom just wanted some baking pans so she could cook for her family.
Get my family to church on a regular basis whether they like it or not.
