I decided to put this under the 'Entertainment' tab because although I feel like screaming, i am also, in part, very amused.  I just need to vent!!!

On July 1st, I placed an order with a company in Miami.  It was a gift for my son that was to have his name on it.  I was told 7-10 days.  ok...

Last week, Friday, I call to see what's up. I was told to give it until Monday. TUESDAY comes and goes, no package. I get upset and call. They tell me that someone will call me on Wednesday. Guess what--no call! HA!

Yesterday, (Thursday, the 24th) I email them and state, " I need a supervisor that speaks English to contact me ASAP".  A few minutes ago, the phone rings. i answer it and hear, "Emmmm. Ah Allo? Ken I espeekee to..."  I get annoyed. She tells me she has no order for me. By now I want to smack her. Then she says, "Ah si, jes ok mama..."She goes on to ask, "Em dees eese about dee orden for ET warto? I get more annoyed and bark, "EDWARD...it's Edward..no o"  She then asks me if i peeky pani.  Although I am perfectly fluent in both, I ask her if she is in receipt of my email.  I ask her to read it to me. She then says, "Ah Ok...I see dat now. jes dees orden deed go out on viernes, em fry-day ant ju chood get eet by too ma row."  I politely inform her that if I don't, she will be hearing from me again. .....

Perhaps,  I should be using smaller words??? 

Thanks for reading and letting me vent.  Hopefully, it amused you! 

The other day, I made a trip to the ER at FL Hospital East b/c my 2 year old had hurt himself.  He got a little too rough with his siblings and cousins and cut his eyelid with a toy helicopter. It started bleeding and wouldn't stop so I freaked.  Being an eye injury involving blood, I took him to the hosp. We got there at 3:30pm. They didnt call us until 8:55 pm. You know what it is to sit in a crowded, nasty ER with a tired, hungry, bored two year old??  The vending machines only take cash and I didnt want to go in search of an ATM for fear of missing his named being called. We left in such a hurry that I wasn't thinking of grabbing snacks to take with us at that moment.

The check-in nurse kept talking to me in Spanish b/c of our last name.  i asked her nicely many times to please speak in English. Finally, after about the 5th time, I barked at her. She said (and I kid you not),  "Oh, you have a Latin last name so I thought it might be easier for you".  What!?  Hello-w!!

Needless to say, I was less than happy at this point.  Not everyone has been in the country for a month or is mooching off of the government. I realize they're used to dealing with that, but   I was not thrilled at being lumped into that category. The only reason we were there to begin with is that I was visiting someone and that was the closest medical facility to their house.

We got home and my son fell right asleep without even eating b/c he's used to eating earlier and being at bed at 8.

Sometime dutring my wait, I was on the phone with hubby and he told me, "Just chill. I don't want to see you on the 10:00 news."

Does that sound like a fun evening or what?!

I thought this was pretty entertaining......

This had me laughing soooo hard!
