Since I left the wonderful US of A, I've had a few things more than I should have had to worry about and still do. Some of you know about it - I'll tell anyone who doesn't later. I try to get through the day the best I can knowing that my dear husband is holding down the fort and taking care of our kids. Soooo, here's the deal - I've been ordering things to be sent here, just little things, like rubber boots, shampoo, toothpaste - stuff like that - that make life go. Everyone else has been getting their packages just fine after a week or so. I ordered things before Thanksgiving and still nothing. Well I found out today that our mail room here has had all of my packages for the last two weeks and didn't deliver them. AND they just mailed them all back to where they came from. For some reason THIS has caused me to cry and blubber just like a baby. So I called LL Bean and told them my situation - they are Soooo wonderful - they are going to try to intercept them - LL Bean - at Christmastime!! They never do that, but are making a special arrangement for me because I am in Iraq. Then I called Estee Lauder online to track down my moisturizer, again, not a big deal. I got Leslie on the phone who was just beside herself that this had happened to me. She was asking me about which free sample I wanted and then we were chatting about that I had other packages sent back too with my shampoo that I'm not allergic to, etc. So she asked my what kind of shampoo I wanted - I thought Estee Lauder started making shampoo and she was going to send me a sample. NO - she made me run down a list and she is sending me a care package of all kinds of stuff. Leslie apparently sends a big care package every year and never knows who get it. This time she is sending it to me and I promised that everything she sent I would promise that all the things would be passed out to some very grateful women that live with me in tent city. We had another unit arrive last night - so the tents will be filling up again. Can you believe how nice that is? Just when I was ready to lose my mind - a miracle of nice people to make me feel better.
This flower is the one I mentioned from a few posts ago. And - I got my laptop today!!! Thanks to Dave and my brother in law Allen for my wonderful computer - you guys rock!! Life is good. :)
