Scrooged by Back to Basic Toys!!!!!!

This is the year for things to be ruined by others. As in my last post, my parents rained on my parade about my brother's gift. Now this. I order Robyn what was the perfect gift for her. She loves imagination play. I thought it would be a toy that she would play with for a couple of years and then Max would get to play with it. I ordered it from the above company on the 9th. Plenty of time to get it here. No rush, no worries. Around the 17th I finally got the email that the package has been sent. It will be here on the 20th. OK a little to close for comfort but I can deal. Well, I keep checking the tracking number and it doesn't show as leaving the building. I start to get a little worried. Ok, now the 20th, the package still isn't here. I call them and point out no tracking number and no gift. Just a little worried, well they lied to me. They told me on Friday, no worries it will be there on Monday. Don't worry. Well guess what, it isn't coming, it isn't in stock and they totally screwed me over.
P.S Robyn is so sweet.. she told me that she understood that I tried very hard to get her the gift, that she stilled loved me and could wait for it.

So on Sunday... knowing darn well this is what I am getting him went to Building 19 and got him this... the photo of the three teams.

So sorry...

I am so sorry that I haven't been around for a couple of weeks. Life is just so darn busy with the two kids. They really do keep me busy. We went down to CT for a whirlwind trip for Thanksgiving for Rach and her now fiance to meet his family. They are very nice. The are planning to get married at the end of this May and all hell has broken loose. For some reason I am involved in all the fights. I keep pointing out that this is not my wedding and well quite frankly the only person who gets a vote is Rach and Andy. No one seems to hear this and they are all making me crazy. Now, I planned my wedding and had fun. Leave me out of it.

I am busy writing cards for the soldiers and making blankets for them. Ok making one blanket at this point but I am trying.
