Delivered

Whew!

Today has been the day for deliveries at our house.

I rolled out of bed around 9:30 am (SHUT.UP I have 12 days until school starts! I'm working my way back around to getting up at 7:30 am! Leave me alone.)

I had changed into my clothes and was in the "reading room" (wink, wink) when I heard the doorbell. I ran to wash my hands and get to the door. As I opened it, the FedEx man was driving away.

Deliveries 1 and 2 were a box of scrapbook supplies (ya know, 'cause I'm almost out of those...not) and a new baker's rack for Lillian's room, which I'm using to replace her changing table. 'Cause she's potty trained. Isn't that the best news EVER?

About an hour later I got a huge delivery (#3 of the day) that I had been anticipating for a couple of weeks.

The UPS man rang my bell and brought me 22 boxes of cookbooks for my friends at ScrapShare.

This cookbook was the brainchild of my friend Joanie, and I had the pleasure of helping her give it life. It went to press in June; we took orders for 577 books and they finally made it to me today. Now I get the fun task of packing and shipping them. I can't wait to see what people have to say (unless it's negative, of course...but I don't think there will be any complaints.)

Camryn help me put the new Baker's Rack together while Lillian was taking her nap. It looks so nice. That changing table held up through 4 kiddos, and it served us well. It is going to the basement to rest while we try to find it and its crib sister a new, loving home.

The mister called while I was in Lillian's room switching everything from the changing table to the new rack (who knew the child had SO MANY hairbows?!?) He said CarMax guy had called to report that our new van had arrived from Miami (delivery #4). Oh, and would I mind bringing the kids to Fuddrucker's and meeting him (the hubby) for dinner? Oh, and would I empty out the Pacifica and then drive the truck back home so he could go pick up new van?

I suggested that the Mister bring home dinner and then go back to get the van himself, because

DUH

had he forgotten that TONIGHT IS THE NIGHT?

"High School Musical 2" is coming on in less than an hour! We couldn't leave NOW to go get a VAN when Gabriella and Troy and Sharpay and Ryan and Taylor and Chad are due to show up on our TV at 8 pm est!

Yeah, baby. That will be the best delivery yet!

We have our snacks, our jammies on, and our blankets laid out on the floor.
