ARGH!!!!!

Ok. It's official. This is the worst AF move ever. After the fiasco with Gale's orders, here's the lastest. Supposedly our unaccompanied baggage (our 1st shipment) with the rest of the kids clothes, most of our clothes, Gale's pro gear, our bicycles, many of our kitchen appliances, dishes, etc, and our blankets and sheets, has been sitting at TMO for the past 2 to 3 weeks. Gale was told it was highly encouraged that we call TMO to see when the shipment arrived. Well, he was told it would not arrive much earlier than a few days ago, so why would we call?

Anyway, Friday, the shipment arrives at my door. I signed a paper saying the crate, with his name written on the outside, was still sealed. The guys open the crate, and my jaw just about fell off! The crate was almost empty. They started to pull boxes out and bring them to the door. I stated that the crate was not ours! First off, I didn't recognized some of the stuff they pulled out. Second, the first box wasn't even on my inventory list!

I walked over to the crate, and sure enough, no bikes...and very short of the amount of stuff that we had packed in the crate. Ours was completely filled!!!!! So phone calls were made to TMO. They would ask the carrier to track the shipment. UGH!

So, I called again yesterday. Carrier still searching. ETA? No idea. Sigh....Our shipment is somewhere in the world with who knows whose name on te crate. Someone we talked to at Tim's soccer game told us that with one of the their shipment was a crate of someone else's goods. And they were asked if they didn't just want to keep it!

Gale's gonna call again today. I'm thinking I will need to make a trip to the shopping mall and buy my kids some clothes.

And...
Happy Birthday to Ryan!!! He's 7 today. Already opened presents from his grandparents and aunt this morning!
