After the doctor visit I had to go by the post office to try & recall a package that I sent to the wrong address. Customer Service told me it wouldn't be a problem to recall as long as the package hasn't reached it's destination & to go back to my local post office to fill out the form. I had just mailed it last Wednesday, so I knew there was still time. Well, the idiot at the post office didn't have a clue what I was talking about & argued with me that a package couldn't be recalled. While I was waiting for the Post Master to get off a conference call the rude clerk finally found the form I was talking about. It will be awhile before I can go back to the post office! Next stop was getting the van washed. I carried Alyssa in the car wash in her infant seat just in case she fell asleep. I'm SO happy I did! When the van was finished the employee waived me over to let me know it was done. ONE PROBLEM - they LOCKED the keys in the van! Seriously, could the day get better? Thank goodness I had Alyssa's infant seat! One of the employees gave us a ride home to get the spare van key. Luckily, I keep a spare house key in the backpack! Blake could've left work, but it was faster to just have a stranger drive us a couple of blocks. Next stop, Target. I went in Target to get diapers & a few other things (see books below). Well, again, I just left Alyssa in her infant seat & sat it in the buggy. After we checked out & got to the van I took Alyssa & the infant seat out of the buggy & what did I see? DIAPERS UNDER THE BUGGY THAT I DIDN'T PAY FOR! So, I ran back inside & paid for the diapers praying I wouldn't be late to pick up Addy from school!
Alyssa is now eating 3 meals a day in addition to nursing. At breakfast she has a fruit + oatmeal, lunch veggie + fruit combo, dinner veggie. She isn't a fan of Gerber baby food, so I made the MISTAKE of buying Ella's Kitchen organic & Plum Organics for her to try ($$$$$). Well, she loves the stuff! Addy does too! Both brands have yummy combos like spinach, apples, rutabaga or broccoli, peas, pears or carrots, sweet potatoes, prunes. Alyssa will still eat what I made (sweet potatoes, squash, apples), but the organic tubes are super convenient, whereas, I have to thaw the cubes I made from the freezer.
In case you are wondering about how Alyssa's pooping these days - I get a dirty diaper every 2-3 days now. No complaints here. At least now it's solid & manageable!
It was a great weekend & we took full advantage of the beautiful weather!
My two beautiful girls!
Everyday I look at them & wonder how I got so lucky!
I've joined an online photography course with some of my Internet friends. It's a 12 week course & hopefully will teach me a thing or two about my camera. The local college is offering a course this summer & I may take it too. Pictures are priceless :)
BEWARE of the Dollar Spot at Target! (No, the MacBook wasn't on the Dollar Spot!) These books will go in Easter baskets and/or for birthday presents. I did go ahead & give Alyssa one of the bath books. She loves books just like Addy! Read Across America is March 2 & right now Walmart has all Dr. Seuss books for $5. I need to take an inventory of Addy's Dr. Seuss books. We must have 20, if not more. I just picked up 3 more that she didn't have.
Last week Chase Bank was at the top of my %#$* List! I kept my account open after I quit my job with just a small amount of money in checking & savings. Well, I had setup the email alert to notify me when my account went below a certain balance. I got an alert one night & the next morning checked my account online. Hmmmm Chase started charging me a $12 service fee in November. The last time I used the account was October. So, I called to get more information about the fee. The rep told me that since my checking account didn't have direct deposit or an outrageous balance then a fee is charged. When I told him that I haven't had direct deposit since September 2008 & never had the fee before he was stumped. He then told me that maybe the fee was waived for some reason. I said for 2 years, really, are you that stupid or do you think I'm that stupid. I was livid & requested a refund for the fees & to close my accounts! He told me it would be faster to go to my local branch & close the accounts. So, off I go to Chase to close my accounts. Wow! They lady at the branch couldn't tell me why this fee suddenly appeared either. I could go on, but I'll just say that I closed my accounts & will not do business with the bank again. The fee on the account really wasn't the issue...I don't understand why NOBODY could explain WHY it just started!
