I need to do any one of the following:

  1. Learn to add
  2. Learn not to re-add on the long drive home
  3. Learn to not feel guilty for failing to correctly add in the first place

Joe, La, et. al. bought Zachary a toy called “The Silly Sentence Catapiller” for his birthday.  Marketing blew it.  The name should have been “The Silly Sentence-ipede”

It’s amazing how little training kids require to trash a house.  I was painting the dining room yesterday while attempting to keep an eye on Danielle and Alli.  With very little effort, they managed to spread tinker toys and popped balloon in the family room, cover the door handle to the garage in mud, find about 20 cups and get them all dirty (and in the front yard), place a cubic yard of dirt on the front porch, cover 10 or so beanie babies with so much mud and dirt that you can’t determine the original color (by giving them a bath no less), and cover the upstairs with toys and books.

Hi James!
I was informed by the vendor that you should receive your product on 10/02/02.  Somehow there was some missing information on your order, which they failed to mention to me.  However, everything is fine now and you should receive your item on that expected date.
Thanks.
Rowena

Note to self: 2nd day shipping means the second of the following month

I spent probably an hour on saturday (split over the course of the day) looking for the Tiger game on the radio and checking scores. I couldn’t even find it on the internet.

Apparent they don’t broadcast games until they are actually played? Turns out that this week was a bye. Oops

YEAH … they are suppose to start putting in my basketball net today. I would have done it myself, but anytime Joe says spend the money, I don’t argue.

They asked that I mark 2 spots, incase they hit rocks while tryingt to dig the hole. I laughed, and then explained that regardless of where they dig in my yard, they will hit rocks,…, lots of them. I also told them that the WOULD be hand digging — the are going to try to use an auger. The neighbor’s contracters tried that — and then rented a backhoe.

I clearly marked where the line runs for the sprinkler system — what are the odds that I will be getting a call in a couple of hours that they hit it — hmmm.
