All I want for Christmas is a brain

About a month ago I got an email from the Gas Company saying it was time to make appointments to relight the pilot on the heater.

So I made an appointment.

But they were pretty booked out.

So basically we all froze our butts off for a couple of weeks.

I mean I had little heaters in the kids rooms and Jed and I had a few blankets on the bed and a fire always going.

We were cold.

So the day of our appointment finally came.

The Gas Man came in and looked at the thermostat turned it on and wouldn't you know it....

the heater came on.

He went and checked the heater and sure enough the pilot light was lit.

I felt sorta dumb.

Apparently you only need to relight the pilot light if you have turned it off.

I told him I had got the email about relighting it.

He said it was a mass email to everyone.

I is smart.

I had an appointment yesterday to get an ultrasound for my thyroid.

I decided to bring Noah and the twins.

My appointment was at 1 but when I got to the place the doors were closed.

I tried opening them a few times but the door was locked.

It was 12:45 so I figured they were still at lunch.

So we popped a squat and played eye spy while we waited for the door to open.

One o'clock came and the door was still closed.

So I called the office.

I explained I had a one o'clock appointment but that the door was locked.

She explained that you needed to push not pull.

So I push the door open to a waiting room filled with people.

Today I went to The Oaks Mall(I am in love)

I had a lot of coupons to use and there were some wonderful sales going on.

At Macy's if you opened a credit card you got 30% off your purchase and then you could just pay off your credit card right there plus I had a $10 coupon.

Seemed like a no brainer.

Well first off I was denied right off the bat.

Upon further examination we realized I put down Natalies birthday instead of my own.

Then my second go around I typed in that my annual income was 2 million dollars a year(wishful thinking) and the wrong social.

The lady was super patient but I am sure she thought I was an idiot.

Finally I put down all the right information got my card made my purchase then paid off my card.

Then I had to run out of there as fast as I could before I was tempted to put anything on that Macy's card!

Once done with my Macy's trip I bought some food which seemed to have helped. Because I went to a store that I had two coupons for it said one coupon per transaction.

I bought my item used the coupon and then went to purchase my second item with the coupon.

The guy said it was one coupon per transaction and ONE per costumer ONLY.

I am not sure how I missed that it was only in big fat bold print across the top.

I tried to sweet talk but the dude did not care.

So I gave Noah my coupon and some cash and had him purchase the item.

We had a little go around for a few minutes but at the end of the day Noah was a different costumer.

I was pretty proud of myself on the way out until I knocked over a display of Christmas ornaments.

I don't think I am allowed back there.

(and I can't say were I was because it will be a big giveaway as to whom I was buying for and what I got them)

I am on a roll.
