B&M Monday

I'll start this one...

Visa sucks.  My mom called a few days ago to let them know we'd be in London so that any charges going through between the dates that we're here are fine.  This morning we booked a Big Bus Tour and mom got an email saying that there was a possible fraudulent activity on her account and that they were going to limit transactions until she verified it.  Since she can't call, we email dad to call and verify it (he's in the account too).  Dad emailed us to let us know he verified it and that we're all set so as we were leaving the hotel an hour ago, we went to book a tour for Wesnrsday since the tour mom had Pre-booked had emailed us to say they couldn't confirm due to it bring sold out.  The concierge said that there are 6 tickets left in a different tour so mom decided to book them...until her Visa was declined.  So now we're sitting in the hotel room with Dad in google chat, trying to figure out why the hell we can't use mom's Visa card because most places don't take Discover here and we didn't convert much cash since we planned in using the card.  Awesome!

Re: B&M Monday

  • Another B&M is that I knew there were errors on my previous post, but my friggin iPhone wouldn't let me correct them. That pisses me off.  Oh, so does this crappy weather (cold and rainy).  Can I have a do-over on today, please?  So cranky and need to get over it lol I'm sure I'll be fine once the Visa issue is fixed and mom isn't stressed about it.

  • I invited my parents over for Wednesday and Friday night - and now my Mom won't call me back. She complains all the time she doesn't see us enough, but she doesn't invite us over and never comes when we invite her. It drives me nuts!

  • Lucas doesn't like me to hold him like a baby anymore.  It saddens my heart. 

    I've asked E to sweep the house since last week.  Lucas is crawling now and he spend a lot of time on the floor, I really don't want him to be our human duster.

  • The rug I ordered last week was delivered at the end of the week (yay!) but once I rolled it out it had a pretty noticeable discoloration, almost like a section was faded.  On one hand since it is going under our table it wouldn't be THAT bad, especially with the hassle of having to ship it back. On the other hand, I paid over $100 for it, I expect it to be right. I figured I would take a shot at trying to get some money back for it, but still keep the rug. I sent some pictures and asked for some money back, I got a response saying they would look into it. A little while later I got another email saying they had received my return request and would process it, and I could PURCHASE one of their prepaid shipping labels to make it easier to return. First off, I did not request a return yet, second there is NO way I am paying to ship a defective rug back! I foresee myself on the phone for a while today.

  • My bff and her kids were supposed to come up for this week while I had time off. Well one of the kids has the stomach bug so the trip is delayed. If the other one gets it she pretty much isn't coming. I know it isn't her fault, but I am so utterly frustrated. I bought a ton of food in anticipation of them coming which may go to waste. We had plans for the whole week, some of which I will still do. Matt is working so it will be annoying to go by myself with Mags.I wouldn't be so annoyed, but something like this happens every.single.time she plans on coming up here. Now she wants to come up later in the summer. Sorry, but it is my busy season and the last thing I want is a house full of people after a long day/week of work that require attention and who want to go out and do things. So I am probably coming off as a whine bag, but I am so irritated right now. sorry.

    I can come eat your food!

    I have a Groupon for a Children's Museum if you want to come down one day. We are going next week, but can go twice!

    My B&M is that Ella is cutting some teeth and can't sleep ie. neither can I! So I'm useless today.

    Also, DH had has his child support taken out of his check, sent to the state, sent to XW. Well the last payment was taken out of his check, but never made it to the state. They are trying to figure out what happened -- I guess payroll says it was 6-7 people this happened to. XW doesn't need the money to get by (she has a four bedroom house with a pool -- we barely scrape by), but I'm sure some of those people do. The only way the problem was caught was that XW and the others called to say they didn't get paid. It is so frustrating on all ends.

    One of the Mom's on my BMB lost her 6 month old son.  I feel so helpless and so bad for complaining about E not sweeping the floor now.  I will hug Lucas a little tigher today, whether he likes it or not!

  • I failed my 1 hour glucose test last week, so I went for the 3 hour this morning.  After I left I was ridiculously sweaty and shaky.  I barely made it through the door of my house and to the couch.  I almost fell asleep while I was eating lunch, and immediately after.  I just got a call from MFM at the hospital checking in on me, because apparently my glucose levels were super low.  I feel like crap, and 4 consecutive sticks later, my arms hurt.  Wah.

    Tell her later in the summer won't work because you're taking in a homeless black man from Maine on and off :)

  • It's 7:00 PM and I still have to do laundry, organize and pack for camping, go to the grocery store, and finish straightening up the house. FML.

  • I want to eat and poop like a normal person. Really that's all. The pills for the ALLLLL day morning sickness make you constipated. It's freaking great!

    Id also really like to win the lottery. ... Just once. Just one big jack pot is all I need.
