Oops!

We had another oops today. Well, a couple actually. The biggest were:

• I figured out today, the day grades are due, that my username wasn't working. Yes, we were supposed to check last week. Yes, I started to. No, I didn't finish. Not only was my username not working, somehow I was BOOTED FROM THE SYSTEM!! I had no anything. I have to resign up for a school board account (AGAIN) and they had to add me in so I could input my grades (which, as I said, were due TODAY). NUTS! The ladies at school who helped me were very kind, though. I appreciate it! And.... my grades are DONE!!!
• This OOPS was NOT mine. At about 3:40, I got called to the office for a flower delivery. I thought that was kind of odd. When I got there, I saw a birthday balloon. My birthday is next week, bu tthat is a week away. Something seemed off. Apparently, Mom ordered flowers to be delivered from her and Dad... ON MY BIRTHDAY (imagine that). Mom is coming to visit this weekend, and she has to go back the morning of my birthday. She specified for the flowers to be delivered early morning on November 6, so that I would have a happy surprise to cheer me up about her having to leave. But no, they delivered them after school hours today (?). She called (in her very hoarse voice) and they were apologetic. Someone new messed up. They said they will deliver a balloon on my birthday. I hate to sound like a brat, and obviously with the whole "lonely" thing I've been kind of emotional lately, but I almost cried when I found out they messed up. It felt like they took something special away, and now I wouldn't have something fun that my parents so sweetly planned to ease Mom going back. So, even though I'm now expecting it, at least there will be a fun something on my birthday. Here the "early" flowers...
  

The arrangement even has cute party blowers mixed in. :)

The vase has flowers painted onto it. :)

• Oh, and while we're talking about birthdays. Matt ordered something for me, and the company sent a postcard telling him that his gift (and what it was) has been shipped. I check the mail, so of course I came across it. That's ANOTHER birthday surprise ruined!
• And Brad and Joy ordered something off my Amazon wishlist. I thought that my wishlist address would change when I updated our mailing address after the move last summer. But no, it didn't. So my birthday present was delivered (or attempted to) to our old address. Who knows where it is.
• I'm beginning to wonder if 26 is not going to be a good year. :-(
