I tried to get to everyone who wrote me a message yesterday wishing me a Happy Birthday! If I somehow overlooked you, I am sorry! I feel like if you took the time to write me a message, I can take the time to respond! Not to mention I am the worst at wishing people a Happy Birthday on FB. For some reason I don't see the little birthday reminders EVER. So that makes me appreciate all the messages even more! So Thank You!
Birthdays are not what they used to be, although I have never been one to get overly excited about my Birthday. Yesterday was extremely regular, which is okay because I love my regular life so I guess a regular day on my Birthday isn't so bad. I decided on Monday night that I did want a Birthday cake so at 9:15PM I ran over to the store to get what I needed. For dinner I went with pizza because 1.) It sounded good, and 2.) We had coupons. Because it was a typical day, Garrett was a little late from work, which was a slight bummer, but what are you going to do? So, I baked my own cake, picked up my own dinner, and cleaned up the mess - not to mention I gave both girls their baths and folded all the laundry before Garrett walked in the door at 7:00! But the good news is that I got the cake I wanted, the first pick of the pizza slices AND I can use the "I handled my own Birthday" excuse for a few days to get out of nightly duties =)
Addy did sing me Happy Birthday though. Yes, I had to remind her several times that it was my Birthday and yes, she only got about halfway through the song, but I still enjoyed it nonetheless!
Moving on from Birthday news - I have to take the time to complain about the horrible customer service at Toys R Us. I think I hate the place. Which is no surprise because I hate Babies R Us too.
I tried to take advantage of "Cyber Monday" only to not be able to submit my online order because the website was getting "too much traffic." I didn't want to lose my deal so I called Customer Service to figure out what was going on and she more or less told me there was nothing she could do and to "keep trying." If I wanted words of encouragement I would have called a friend - JUST HELP ME PLACE MY ORDER!
Obviously everyone else was having trouble as well because Toys R Us extended their deals another 24 hours. So, by yesterday morning I was able to get my order to go through only to wake up today and have an email saying the one item I REALLY wanted was cancelled because they don't have it like they told me they did. And to make matters worse, it was a buy one get one 50% off so now I have no idea if I get the second one half off or if they are going to charge me full price for it. URRGHHHHHH!
I have placed orders through Amazon and Target and have had NO trouble and received them in an extremely timely manner. I will not be placing any more orders through Toys R Us and once I figure out they have screwed me on my half off item, which I know they will, I will be cancelling the rest of my current order as well! How can such a well known, huge chain store be so horrible at customer service? Don't even get me started on Babies R Us!
Alright I better get started with my day. We've been in the playroom for 10 minutes and it already looks like a tornado has passed through. I only cleaned LAST NIGHT, putting everything in its exact spot but who needs a clean playroom right? Oy!
Sincerely Yours,
