Our UPS delivery guy is super nice. Every time he brings a package he always
has a smile on his face and something nice to say. Really nice guy. I've kept
him pretty busy this past week - online shopping rocks!!! He's been here multiple times this week. The only thing is, every time he comes, I've been
upstairs feeding Steven and getting him down for a nap. He usually just puts
our packages on our front step, knocks on the door, and walks away. But Ellie
has been in the front room each time he's come, so she's fast to get the door.
Being the nice guy that he is, since the door is open, he puts the packages
inside. After 3 times doing this, and Ellie opening the door, I've been
thinking that he probably thinks Ellie is some latch-key 4 year old kid, with no
parents about. After all, the Christmas bins of decorations have been stacked
up inside the front room since Sunday night when we got them out and my table
has yet to get breakfast dishes cleared off before lunch.....or before the kids
get home every day this week. Its been a crazy week folks. So today, I vowed
to be present and accounted for.... casually putting up the Christmas decorations
when he came (usually he shows up right after lunch). I scrubbed bathrooms all
morning and then jumped in the shower at 10:30. I had just gotten out when I
heard a knock, knock. Blast! He came early! Obviously I couldn't run down and
thank him for delivering my stuff, so I opted for a nice, "Thanks!" yelled from
the hallway. Sheesh. Maybe next week I'll be presentable?
