Nightmare in the doll world

Hello,

I haven't blogged for almost a year now, and now the need to do so strikes again so here I am. There has been so much that happened in the last year or so, and since I would not know where to start, I will start with this one. Last night, my daughter, Emilie, went to bed and left her doll on the floor close to her bed, on purpose. She woke us up screaming this morning around 5 am, when she realized the doll had found her way back into her bed. She did not know that her mother had taken care of putting her back in the bed, and she expected ''bad people'' to have done it. She is only 4 and a half year old and she needed to be reassured, which I did.

We ended up preparing the sticking cinnamon buns together, as I had prepared the dough the night before, and we just needed to roll the dough, toss some butter and brown sugar and voila. The kids enjoyed doing that with me, and the buns ended up tasting great.

Later, I ended up receiving a call from a company with whom I had gotten a membership with temporarily, but even after 4 or 5 attempts to cancel, they keep trying to charge my credit card, unsucessfully since it changed in the mean time. Gameaccess.ca is a company that rents video game online via mail. They now claim that I never sent the last game back which  I did, and now they are claiming 250$ for a game that sells for maybe 50$. Talk about a ripoff. The guy that called me first pretented to be a lawyer, but then eventually admitted he wasn't. I have had enough of this mascarade, and told him that not only would I not pay, but that I would probably seek compensation and punitive damage against them for abusive processes, false identification and other things, just as a matter of principle, for all of the other people they may screw but who won't do anything about it.

I will let you know what happens. The guy said they would keep calling and I said great, that will convince me to fork over 250 $ for a game worth 50$.

I also cleaned up the hidden playroom I built in a crawled space. See here  for a video of it. The kids love it. I am trying to make it better, slowly but surely.

Finally, I had a little fun with the Roomba to try and clean the kitchen table and test the roomba's abilities to not fall. See the video.  That reminds me of the time last year when I put Jacob on it and he ended up enjoying the ride. See here

Tonight, we are eating out and the babysitter will take care of the three kids.

Alright, let's keep some for later, as I hope not to wait a year prior to posting again.

Cheery all,

Jean-Francois
