It’s time for another edition of Tuesday Troubles. I’ve said it before, but this should be named “things i’m annoyed / confused / want to complain about”, however I couldn’t figure out how to make any of those into a snappy title, so Tuesday Troubles it is. And yes, I do realize that these aren’t true “troubles”. I know that many of these for sure could be defined as first world problems!
~I Santa went to order L’s bunkbed from PBK on the last day their bedroom furniture sale last week and what do you know, the sale ended early and it was back to full price. WTF? So I called and the lady on the phone was like yeah you should have called and checked the stock because when stock levels get low, we raise the prices back up. What? Where does it say that on your site lady? I was like your sale was suppose to run through TONIGHT and you just ended it? She’s like yep and besides, we don’t even have any more of beds coming back in stock until January. I was so annoyed that I ended up sending PKB a Facebook message. Long story short they fixed everything, gave me the sale price and turns out the bed is in stock after all and the fabulous customer service person I talked to in the end was the nicest man ever. But really? Who just randomly ends a sale early like that? And why would I have called to check and if something that was supposed to be on sale through 11.12 would actually still be on sale on 11.12?
~So I signed up to bring something for L’s Thanksgiving Feast this week at school and just told them to assign me something. Well I got turkey. Three pounds of rolled turkey. Which is exactly what I was hoping NOT to get. No matter now though. What is the best way to do this? I can’t umm, buy something like this can I? Or will I be rolling up late one night? Is this not the dumbest trouble I have ever had?
~L didn’t have school yesterday because the power was out at his school because of some storms we had Sunday night. Anyway, guess who had no idea about this and never even thought to check the news? This girl. We were IN the car on the way to school and I go to plug in my phone and see a text from my mom asking if L was excited he didn’t have school. Huh? We hadn’t gotten out of our sub yet, but I can’t believe I was so clueless. I need to remember to check that kind of stuff! Or we need to get text alerts on stuff like that. Or wait, I got one. From my mom. I just didn’t check my phone in time. Oops.
~I asked year and got some good ideas, but I’m still struggling with where to hide holiday gifts. Some of the stuff is just so big. Well the boxes are anyway. And I don’t know that I have the ability to just lock them away in a room because I don’t think our guest room door has a lock. Where do you hide gifts? What about the big ones? And how on earth am I going to hide a bunk bed (B is going to building it on Christmas Eve) in the garage for weeks?
~Not really a trouble, but I am headed to Trader Joe’s this week for the first time in ages and need some ideas! I don’t want to miss the most fabulous thing ever, so tell me what I need!
That’s it from here for now! What’s troubling you today?
