Monday Musings...
Monday, October 8, 2012 at 11:15AM Boys are each off doing their own schoolwork so all is well with the world at the moment. ;) I'll get to a post about our homeschooling later. Just now, I had some random thoughts:
Is it wrong that I want to dress up as Noah for Halloween (dark rinse jeans, sneakers and a black top) and have been encouraging his brothers and friends and moms of his friends to do the same? I think it would be fabulous (and such an easy costume!) but, as you might expect, he's rather mortified. I was thinking those classic name tags with "Hello my name is...Noah" might also be in order. I'm on the fence. Perhaps just the threat of doing so will be as much embarrassment as he can handle... ;) (Besides, I also have a Jedi costume all ready to go and figure showing up to do lunch duty with a lightsaber would be pretty cool, too.) (Btw, thank you, universe, for having Halloween land on a Wednesday this year so that the boys will be in LEAP during the day, lol.)
Could someone please explain to me why only 3/5 of our household appears to clog the darn toilets with alarming regularity? Perhaps it's something to do with having names that start with "A" that gives the other 2/5 of us super non-clogging powers?
Is it just me or does Amazon's shipping lately seem to, well, suck? I appreciate the free shipping dealio. I do. But. It used to arrive a heck of a lot sooner than my latest half dozen or so orders...which have been annoyingly slow. I think it's because they switched from direct delivery to those "smartpost" services...wherein they ship using FedEx or UPS but rather than delivering to your door, they get it to your local post office. It then sits at the local post office for a few days until they decide to bring it to you. Argh. Case in point: I have a package I ordered Sept 27. It shipped out on Oct 4 and arrived here in Fort Collins on Oct 6. It now sits at the post office and isn't scheduled for delivery until Wednesday. What's up with that?! (So, Amazon folks, if you're listening...please stop using the "smartpost" deal. I get that it's a business decision. My thought is that you could just increase the minimum to qualify for the free shipping. I'd be willing to make that trade.)
Okay. I suppose I'll go make sure boys are still on task now... ;)
