Jezebel's Surprise Advent Package Train

[RSAS]

Now that all the packages are being mailed...I would love to just throw out questions to get to know some of you better. feel free not to answer!

Question: what is your "job"? Including full time mommy-ing and other occupations!!

I'm a social worker! I work at a hospital right now but an soon switching to a government job working for the Ministry of Children and Families (child welfare and protection).

What about you?

I am a full time mommy AND a student taking an online administrative assistant program.

[couponsrule]

I work for an office furniture manufacturer in Northern Ontario. Three H Furniture Systems www.three-h.com

I'm also an Independant Regal Representative so if anyone wants to look at the new Christmas Catalogue, shoot me a PM!

Also a mommy to a 13 yr old boy and 11 yr old girl who fight A LOT!!!!!!! I feel like it's only my kids that do it, but apparently, all kids fight!

[MrsSunshine]

oh Couponsrule. they sure do. i think if they didn't then you should worry. mine fight so badly sometimes we have to intervene. but guaranteed, every morning and every night they say good night to each other and when one isn't there the other worries.

I will give you 3 guess and the first 2 don't count as to what I do LOL

I was a stay at home mom,ran a day home and a full time military wife for 10 years. Around my 30th Birthday i decied I needed a change so I jokingly said 'Well the military is hiring" DH proceed to tell everyone we knew that I would be joining. I busted my butt training for 3 mnths and of I went. So long story short I am a Resource Management Service Clerk. I handle pay and adminstration of CF mbrs, plus I don't have to think about what to wear to work everyday.

Ummmm... I have a horrible feeling I missed the boat on something. Jez- sent you a PM- when you are free could you get back to me?

Didnt take pics of my package wrapped because it would have totally given it away. At least I think so.

My buddies package

Little Buddies Package

Other Little Buddy Package

Beautiful wrapping. My poor buddy is gonna be disappointed in the wrapping job I think. Did you take those pics with a phone? Looking to upgrade hubbys phone to a new one and looking for one that has a decent camera.

[Peachykeen2007]

how much do you pay per day??? that is insane ours is max $30 a day if you don't get subsidy ( I think Manitoba is the lowest)

I am pretty sure the highest is in Ontario from what I have heard at a low end of $57 a day

OMG! I would Kill for 826! I'm convinced alberta daycare has to be the most expensive in the country. I'm looking at closer to 2000 a month for both my kids....and im not talking about anything fancy. Just straight up daycare. MENTAL!! Odds are i'm going to have to find a way to work from home because that is REDONK!



AND I ran out of tape. Both packing and scotch. off to the store i go again after naptime. GRRR


Missbee for some reason i thought you were my buddy (or 1 of them) from day 1 hahaha. Must be the Kingston connection. I guess i'll find out soon enough

You're not the only one, I had to finish wrapping with masking tape! I did try and cover it with princess stickers though.

Soooo I couldn't help but still feel nervous since this is my first package train. But I just went through a bunch of pages on last year's advent train and I feel a lot better now! Buddy, your package hasn't gone very far in two days yet. Estimated delivery date is Nov.21!

[scbpooh]

Just checked my tracking and it says gift has been successfully delivered! Buddy could you please just post that it has been so i feel better knowing its in your hands since hubby messed up your addy a little bit.

I felt the same way before I checked out last years page. I thought my gifts weren't enough. Felt much better after looking at last years.

ooooo......that could still be me *fingers crossed*

Today is not going right at all

1. Go to take my kids to school/daycare and the heat in my car doesn't work!!! Nice $150 car bill right there
2. Figured I would put away some dishes, and a corningwear baking dish slipped out of my hand and landed on my toes - OMG it hurts - it happened only minutes ago and my little toes are already black and blue

What else can go wrong now??

probably best not to ask ((hugs))
