Thursday Routine

Nothing going on today much.

I was driving along this morning with a cd playing and the rain pelting the roof of my van. I could just hear enough from the far back seat to know that there was some disagreement going on. Ruth 5.1 yelled up to me, "May is being really mean!" to which May 7.10 replied, "I just said she looks really cute when she's mad!" Sometimes it's really hard to keep a straight face.

Rose 1.5 is getting so grown up. And her language has just shot forward since she got her tubes in. Next week at her post-surgery followup appointment, I expect to find out her hearing (which was still in a normal range before) has gotten so much better.

May 7.10 decided a few weeks ago that she is ready to be baptized. It is such a momentous occasion, we are trying to arrange a date that will work for all our family to attend. Boy, is that not easy. First, we'd like to do it while Spitz' sister, who lives in England, is in the country in July. We picked a week, then discovered my folks would be in Michigan that weekend and my sister was committed to babysitting the whole weekend. But the following weekend, Spitz' other sister is out of town for a wedding and my parents are camping in Ohio. Nothing is ever easy, is it?

My husband will receive a Father's Day present this Sunday... as long as UPS ever decides to actually give it to me. Yesterday their tracking said the package had been sent out on a truck for delivery. But it never came. Last night the tracking site said UPS had incorrect address info and was attempting to find correct data. I called and they said the driver had returned the package to UPS and marked "address does not exist." !!! Doesn't every UPS truck have GPS or something, surely? So, customer service told me that it would not be reattempted for delivery and gave me an address to come pick it up. I spent 45 minutes trying to find the address this morning (an address that does not show up on google maps, mapquest, or bing, by the way!). When I finally called them back up, they said the package was back out on a truck for delivery today. Ack!
