In case anyone out there was wondering why the US Post Office is not doing well and has to keep increasing the cost of postage, I thought I'd show you just how inefficient they are.

On Monday, April 23rd, I ordered a couple things from The Children's Place. Now, I know where their warehouse is. It's around Edison, NJ, which is apx 60 miles from my house (give or take) and I also am in NJ. So, you figure it should take a day, maybe 2 TOPS to get to my house through regular mail. Right? WRONG! Here is a the tracking information that is on-line for this package...


(I apologize for the bad picture - it doesn't want to post very nicely)

Now, correct me if I'm wrong, but doesn't it say it was accepted this morning in New Berlin, WI - as in WISCONSIN?!?

I guess I won't be seeing that package anytime soon.

Not much else going on here. It's a miserable, stormy and rainy day. Had to drag them out in the rain for gymnastics this morning. That went amazingly well considering that both girls match the weather - miserable and cranky. :) At least they have their bath to look forward to later.

And no - I have not heard back from Verizon. Why would they fix something that's a danger, not to mention a liability for them. I still have to call them back, but I have not been in the mood. And since J secured the lid with 4 heavy duty deck screws, I know it's not a danger for them any longer.

I actually have to start their dinner. I'm just not in the mood - I wish it could be a lazy day for me today, but no such luck.
