Today was a better day emotionally for me. It started at 12 something this morning when Patrick woke me up with a skype call! We got to talk for 45 mins! It was great to see his face and chat about our days :-) I woke up for the second time around 8 and got the day started. Bailey wasn't feeling very good today after having her shots yesterday, poor baby kept pointing to her legs where she got them and whining. We spent the whole morning at home cleaning the house. It was much needed! I called to check on my car today hoping it would be ready but no such luck... they have ordered 8, EIGHT bumpers and every one of them has come in cracked or damaged supposedly and the new one won't be in until next week. I am getting pretty mad about this and not so sure I believe the story. I think Monday if they tell me the new one is cracked I will be visiting them in person to see for myself.
I got to talk to Patrick again this afternoon on skype while we were grocery shopping, thank goodness for my Iphone!!
This evening I went to trade in my rental car for a different one since we had trouble with mine yesterday and they said I needed to trade it in. WHen I called they told me that didn't have anything but SUV's and the insurance company is only paying for smaller cars for me but they said to come on in and they'd work something out. I'm thinking that means they are going to put me in an SUV and comp the difference or maybe just for the weekend or something but no, when I got there they gave me the keys to an old camry. The gas light was on as well at the maint req'd light and it smelled awful. I got gas and was driving home all mad and noticed there weren't any stickers on the front window like all the other rental cars have so I called the woman and asked if it was a car they normally rented out and she sounded very unsure with her "yea" and said that I could come back and she'd switch it out again. When I got there she tried to put me back in the mazda I just returned and then she realized and magically found another car on the lot. Ugh... I am getting more mad by the moment.... Anyway, she was really rude about it and told me to get in the car to see if it was ok for me. RUDE! It is fine and is much newer and actually looks like a rental car. What a frustrating experience and waste of my time!!!! I WANT MY CAR BACK!!!
Anyway, so far this deployment sucks and it's only day 2! It will get better, I know that.
We had a nice dinner, sloppy joes! lol Yum!! Bailey seemed to be feeling better by the end of the day. I had a teething necklace put on hold for her today so I can pick it up in Wilmington when I take my mom to the airport in a few days. Hopefully that will help some! She is just miserable :-( She's only been in bed a little over an hour and has already woken up twice crying. I am ready to be done with teething!!
