So... the Fed Ex truck came today with motor #3 from Graco. You won't even believe it. It does not work. Put the batteries in before attaching the swing to it and nothing powers up. Just like motor #2. At least motor #1 had music come on and worked on one speed. These other two I can't get to do anything.

Even better, I try to call before 5 today (which is their customer service hours) and they have the phones with a message telling me to call between normal hours. Hello!!! That's what I was doing!!!

So... just wait until 8 a.m. tomorrow. The poor representative that has to talk to me. This was my last attempt, so they'll be refunding my money -- including the shipping!! This time they actually packaged the motor halfway decently. It was wrapped up in Chinese newspaper. Strange, huh? Everything was in Chinese characters, except for the addresses listed at the bottom of the ads. Those were California addresses. Anyway... I'll keep you posted on the swing issue. Currently I'm pretty irritated. :) Hey -- maybe I'll get a brand new swing out of the deal -- how awesome would that be?

Meanwhile, my daughter is gated in her bedroom. She was out of control. The nerve of mommy... who wouldn't let her watch any more TV for the day. She's pretending and reading books right now, so it worked.

And my sweet son is screaming his head off in his crib because.... well, actually... I have no idea why. Couldn't be hungry since I spent the past 3 hours off and on nursing him. Couldn't have a burp because I burped him for the past 30 minutes... No dirty diaper... Is 2 months old too early to let him cry it out so I can make dinner?

Better go check on him. :) I'm going to repeat: "I will not let GRACO ruin my night. I will not let Graco ruin my night." Over and over until both Kaleb and I are asleep. :)
