It’s time for another edition of Tuesday Troubles. I’ve said it before (like every week), 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!
~So I ordered washi tape from Paxton Cover on 1/30 and then again on 2/9. And I got shipping notifications for both of them. Except yeah, neither one of them have moved yet. WTF? I mean seriously why haven’t you left wherever you are at yet? Paxton Cove says they are monitoring the status of these – whatever that means. How about you just let me know if this has been taken to the Post Office for real or not? I mean seriously. Because that seems super crazy that NO ONE’S have updated. Just tell me what’s really up. I’ll be much cooler with it, I swear.
~Okay, sort of related, but you know what drives me batty? When I cannot write on the wall of a company on Facebook. Or even a friend for that matter. Like I would like to know if anyone who ordered the washi tape deal on 1/30 has gotten their tape. But can I write on PC’s wall to find this out? No. Listen, I get that people get super nasty and that’s not cool, but I feel like most of the time, people just want somewhere to put their opinion. Am I right?
~I am SURE I have complained about this one before, but I saw a commercial for Hannibal last night and how it’s coming back on tv this week. I recall loving that show, but yeah I have NO IDEA where it left off because it hasn’t been on for what, like nine months? I’m going to need a refresher on this before I can watch again.
~Teething. WB is mad about it. Like angry mad. I have never seen him like this. Motrin isn’t cutting it. I need your best old wives tale / family secrets teething remedies! I recall hearing that my Grandma used to rub rum or something her kid’s (that’d be like my mom), but I don’t want to go that old school. Someone must have something magical that they use though??
~And finally, what’s going on with The Bachelor? I kind of lost track of it with the Games being on and everything and am ready to dive back in. How many girls are left? Who is crazy? What’s going on with Juan Pablo??
That’s it from here for now! What’s troubling you today?
Have you tried the teething necklaces?
I haven’t! I think I have one somewhere though???
It was whiskey Grandma rubbed on our gums, probably helped put us to sleep too. A frozen wash cloth or how about one of those little mesh bags with frozen fruit in it like you had for L? Orajel has been around forever and might help.
WB hates those for some reason. He’d probably prefer the whiskey. LOL!!
My mom always told me to rub a little pure vanilla extract on the gums for teething. She said it doesn’t help the pain, but softens the gum to help the tooth push through and it has to be pure vanilla. I haven’t actually tried it, but my daughter is pretty mad about her teeth coming in now so I may be trying it soon!
I may try that one as well!
It the alcohol in the vanilla that helps.
Good to know!
I ordered on 1/31 and have received mine.
Jealous!
really? i deleted all the ones i didn’t watch because i thought it was canceled. BOO.
It’s on this Friday.
have you tried teething gel at pharmacy or health food store
I picked up some tablets today!
I order from Paxton back when they had the pack for $1.99 and it took four emails and three weeks to get a response from them and my order. One email stated that I hadn’t paid yet- so I forward my confirmation of payment. Then an apology, then a confirmation of my order email stating they would ship it out. Then I had to email them again four days later asking for tracking info and they acted like they knew nothing about my order- apology again and then a final shipment confirmation with tracking and I got my package the next day. Come to find out they are in Richardson, TX which is like right next door to me……to say the least I would purchase from them again. I hate that because they have cute stuff :(- but o’well.
Oh and WB- about teething rum or whiskey work wonders 🙂 (don’t judge people)
LOL!!! I won’t!
Ugh, so I need to e-mail them huh? What a pain!
Yeah, you will have to email and keep your emails, I had to forward those too- and I meant to say I won’t be ordering from them again…
Good luck with the order and WB 🙂
I got both of my orders from Paxton Cove already. I’d be really annoyed, even with bad weather it shouldn’t take a month!
Hopefully they hurry up!
We use Hylands Teething tablets. They just dissolve in their mouths and I swear they are magic.
I picked some up again today!
We used teething tablets, and a teething necklace.
I cannot get him to chew on anything but his hands. He will not use a teether!
Not a teether. The Hylands teething tablets.
Try frozen waffles for WB. That is what my mother always did.
I will try!
I ordered on 1/31 as well, and haven’t gotten anything. They also sent me an email saying my order was completed?!. I won’t order from them again.
I just looked and my 1/31 one is moving. Took long enough.
The only thing that made my son relax when he was teething was putting an ice cube in the munchkin fresh food feeder http://www.amazon.com/Munchkin-Pack-Fresh-Feeder-Colors/dp/B000GK5XY2
I never put food in it, just ice cubes. and he would literally stop crying, being angry… and suck on it quietly until it was gone. Yeah he got a little messy, but it’s just water! Try it! (maybe you already do this?)
I don’t mind a little mess. I just got a new mesh thing in a box last week, so maybe I will try it again!
I tried honey on the gums – and I really don’t know if that did it or not… my daughter seemed a tiny bit better.
I totally agree with you on Facebook walls. I understand about companies not wanting to invite public flogging and hiding their walls. I get that – people can be nasty, unforgiving and unreasonable for the tiniest of things. But friends? Really? Why are we friends then when you want me to say nothing on your wall? Why add me then? “Oh, I want you to contribute silently to the number of friends I have and how popular I am, but after that I do not want to hear from you publicly at all” Sure!
Every once in a while I spring clean my friends on FB – I delete anyone that I haven’t been in touch with for over 6+ months provided that I am not curious about them. 😀
That’s my problem! I kind of want to know what is up with everyone. LOL!!!
Check your tracking again. I ordered on 1/31 and also 2/10. Both tracking numbers “miraculously” started working today and they Both are scheduled to arrive on Friday. I emailed them last week and they said they had already shipped the first order (which I think is a lie personally) but they would reship. They told someone else that the post office let them reprint the same labels of the ones that “got lost” in the mail which is why the tracking is the same but that seems unlikely to me
Just checked! The 1/31 order is moving! The other one is still the same, but fingers crossed that one works too!
I don’t think they got lost either. I don’t think the post office loses THAT many orders. Just too weird.
I was just thinking about how I haven’t received my PC washi tape either! At least I’m not the only one.
My tracking for my 1/31 order finally started moving! The 2/9 one hasn’t yet though!
We are in the throes of teething, too! Just earlier on… totally sucks. Whenever you find your magic remedy, please share! And oh the Bachelor. It’s just too much for me. There are now three girls left, and they’re doing a special second night of it on tonight with all sorts of fantasy suite drama. Bummer about your Paxton Cove order! I only ordered the first time and it did take a while. Maybe they saw a ton of people wanted the washi tape and put it back on sale before they had enough supply in…
That’s probably it!
And I am so watching the Bachelor tonight. I think they are at the Landings in St. Lucia and I stayed there once!
No way! We went there for our honeymoon. Well, a resort in the south of the island called Stonefield, I believe. One of my favorite places ever! I got super excited to see it in the trailer.
I following the Landings on FB and they posted something like we can’t say anything else, but make sure you watch The Bachelor tonight!!
We use hyland’s teething tablets. Worked on both my boys although the 2 year old molars were the terrible! You can get them at target or pretty much any pharmacy. Amazing!! And make sure his ears aren’t hurting him too. When my kids molars came in their ears were giving them trouble too. I use warm garlic oil in the ear to help sooth the pain and avoid infection. Good luck, teething is the worst!!
I just picked some up today!!!
If it’s bothering him at night, try putting a towel under one end of his mattress to elevate it. It’s supposed to take away some of the pressure.
I will give it a go!
I didn’t order any of the PC washi but I would be so upset if mine did that. I hate having to hound a company for my stuff and I agree I want to be able to see what others are saying about them on FB. I did this past weekend move my washi to a bigger holder so I have some more room to buy more now 😉 Plus a whole other empty tote so I can buy lots and lots of washi LOL
Well you better get shopping!!
I jumped on the second Washi tape deal from Paxton Cove. (The ten for $9.98 one.) They finally send me a tracking number last week, but it stayed in the pre-shipment stage forever. I sent them a not-so-nice email this weekend after seeing the drama unfold this weekend, and didn’t get a response, but my tracking number finally shows some movement. Apparently they didn’t mail my package until today, despite printing out a shipping label for it last week. Sucks, because they have some adorable stuff, but I will never shop there again. Maybe if you sent them an email threatening to call your cc company and start the charge back process like I did, they’ll finally mail your Washi?
I FINALLY saw some movement on my 1/31 order today!!! Nothing on the 2/8 one yet, but at least one is moving.
Both grandmothers swore by whiskey for teething babies, but my mother used a pacifier that she would keep in the freezer. Once it warmed up, she would switch to the backup and put the first one back in the freezer. Hope WB is back to his old, happy self soon!
Me too! WB won’t take a pacifier! I swear he has no idea how to use one. LOL.
Just wanted to update you on my surgery since I remember you had asked for updates. Had it this morning and everything went smoothly just been dealing with nausea since waking up from surgery but luckily Canada dry solved that my mom bought it since it has real ginger in it. My surgeon also rescheduled my post op appointment for Friday cause she wants to have the pressure dressing on there a day longer. But so far so good
Yay!! That is great news! What happens after the post op??
I’ll be having several more post op appointments over the next 8 weeks til it fully heals then I go to the person who makes the fake eye and get a mold taken to start that process should have my glass eye sometime in May then my mom is taking me somewhere for a makeover: makeup, haircut, hair color, nails who knows what else. We are both excited for that. Right now I’m in the sleeping/being awake strange hours and our golden retriever thinks he needs to protect won’t leave my side since we got home. My mom’s cat who never cuddles with anyone is actually laying on my lap right now CUDDLING what is this craziness
Ahh, it is all going to happen so fast now!!!!!
