i shook the box again and turned it upside down again but alas it was empty. i called the company, thinking surely they would be horrified at this oversight. instead the rude creature on the phone told me that the second pair was out of stock so they just charged me full price for the ones i had received. annnnnd further more, if i was unhappy with the fact that the second pair was invisible, i would need to return the visible pair for a refund. ????
well i was NOT impressed at all, especially since i had torn the tags off the ONE visible pair of ruby red mary janes (retired i might add... so no i am most certainly not giving them back) and was cheerfully wearing them in already. i asked to speak to a manager as i always do when i don't get my way. she said i could buy any shoes in the store and winked and pointed me towards one of the more expensive pairs of shoes. so i guess ultimately it was a better deal since i didn't technically need two pairs of ruby red mary janes, just the one. but i just hate crap like this. i just like things to go right, is that too much to ask???!
tomorrow i am the pre-K helper :) note to self: take Aleve (lots) and peace potion. Danny warned me that he is 'not so sure' about Mrs K's helper because she has "tiger hair".... so that will surely be interesting...
he still has his stridor :| it's been 3 days and he still sounds like a poorly little seal pup. second doctor visit today. i'm still not convinced that these doctors are right in saying he is fine... i have been researching this stridor thing online so i DO know what i am talking about :|
off to shower, tonight's family bike ride turned into a terrifying street race and i had to peddle for my life to stay in the lead (i lost at the last second - darn those kids and their energy:)
i had to giggle when i read your note to take lots of aleve and peace potion (but wait, what is peace potion? and where can i get some?! lol) for your stay at pre-k because just today, i do believe i found myself wishing for some sort of relief approximately 98 times over the course of the day. my class was simply wild...just one of those days!
ReplyDeleteand i do hope danny feels better soon =)
ohhh how i needed that peace potion yesterday! those kids were really really good but i was so glad i had swallowed a handful of aleve before i went or i would have died from never sitting down and never having so much as a sip of a diet coke. i honestly - hand on heart - don't know how teachers do it day after day - you must have superhuman powers!! anyway you can find it at kohl's or online at earth therapeutics and it is great for easing headaches as well. and it keeps you cool too :) i love it!
