Sorry, this post is going to be where I vent for a minute. Don't be surprised if I pull this post eventually but right now here it is. There has been so much construction around us lately. As if building in a newer subdivision and having all that comes with that isn't enough, all the roads into and out of our area are under construction. I understand that, I should have known that coming into it. But today, the mail system is my gripe. We have one of those community mailboxes around the block. We actually kinda like having to walk down to it every day. For some reason(I'm sure someone else would understand) there has been a huge hole dug across the road right to the side of the mailboxes. I can still access my mailboxes without being in any danger but to the average joe driving by they may just avoid the situation. I got mail there the first day the hole was there but the last two days I haven't gotten anything. I haven't missed all the junk mail but I am awaiting instruction from the Division of Wildlife Resources for a blood sample that I have to take from my bison(if I shoot one) this upcoming weekend. If I don't get it I could be charged with a felony! So I've been kinda wanting it to come. So today, I called the post office and asked if they were simply holding the mail at the post office. They informed me that they are not. The mail goes out every day with the carrier. Her route takes all day and if she feels that the box is not a safe delivery she won't deliver. She may be back before the post office closes, but she may not. His recommendation for me...watch for her. Ok, I have 3 kids, 1 dance class, 1 kindergarten pick-up, a sick baby and the mailbox is not where I can see it from my house. I'll just go camp out next to it in hopes that she hasn't already driven by and mabye, just maybe, I'll catch her. Who are they kidding? I'm adding them to my list of annoying and not very customer friendly must haves...cable, any furniture delivery, and now the mail carrier. Heaven help me!

So, essentially, he's telling you to stalk the mail person? Sounds like something else you could be charged with a felony for. I hate the post office. grrr.
By the way, when is the bison hunt? I'm so excited to see a pic of you, in camo, with a big a** dead animal. CAN'T WAIT!!!
Okay so the post office does suck but I also have to say Audrey is so funny. I think the thing in your whole email that caught my attention was the piece of mail you are waiting for. Not money, not a letter from someone, but a thing you have to put a dead animals blood on. Interesting never thought I would see Bonnie waiting for something like that. HEE HEE. Good luck with the stalking your mailman. Mine comes a different time everyday so I would never know when to actually try to stalk her.
Good luck with that, also good luck with your hunt this weekend. Are you taking your kids? I can't wait to hear all about it!
AMEN SISTER! It is like at Peach Days when the block the entire world off and you can't get to the post office for love or money and you have to mail a package and they won't take it from you house....ARGHHH! Maybe you could put a big poster on the mailbox and ask the nice postal delivery person to kindly ring you on your telephone and you will come meet her! HAHAHAH
I'm so sorry! I can totally imagine you running down the street with two kids and a baby to catch the mail lady...WHATEVER post office. How about asking the mail lady to step out of her vehicle for a few seconds and around the hole. You'd think you personally dug the huge hole just to aggravate the mail carrier!!
