Thursday doesn't even start, it's Friday I'm in love

Well, the good news is that my washer & dryer came yesterday. Turns out there WAS 'white glove delivery' on them. So I didn't need to arrange for someone else to come.

But then again, when they (the freight people) came, it seemed like they really didn't know what they were doing, they said they'd never delivered a washer and dryer before. There were no white gloves involved. There was some bickering between the two of them. They were trying hard to make me happy, but it was making me nervous. I didn't want my washer and dryer tumbling down the stairs. So in the end, I had them put them in the garage - my original plan - and wait for the installers to come Thursday morning. Since the installers are actually appliance installers, and local, as well.

But when I talked with the installer guy yesterday, he said the couldn't come out until 12-2 pm instead of our original plan of 9 am. So that messed up my park plans a little. We decided to go to the park promptly at 10 and come back home to be here by noon.

We hurried this morning to get ready for the park, and were in the van at 9:45, just in time to hear the van say clickclicklickclick instead of starting. The Grand Lunar thinks it's a low battery, nothing worse, and offered to come home and jump it, but since we already had to hurry home to be there early, and were by this time getting a late start, we just bailed out on the park plans.

So I came home, removed the basement door, and assigned the children to some basic jobs.

I really need to revisit the chore schedule and system, what we have been doing this summer has NOT been working. And, with school looming in our future, I really need to get busy.

If only I could figure out where to start.

In the meantime, I'm waiting for the call from the installer people, and fighting a bad cold. My head is congested and hurts and I'm coughing and feel rotten. So ... with that whining out of the way, I'm off to clean the kitchen.
