I am so disappointed in myself and a place my Mom loves to order from. I ordered something for her birthday that they are usually so good, that I wrapped this beautiful sweater that she wanted and ordered months ago. She opened it last night and it is the wrong size. I called them and they no longer have it. It is my fault for not checking it when it came. It just never occurred to me as they are usually so good. I feel awful. I quickly rewrapped one of her Christmas presents instead; she is thrilled with it and did not know I knew she wanted it too, so all is well but I am heartsick as she had her heart set on this sweater.

I also thought I was all set for the holidays and now am scrambling. She is so hard to buy for. What on earth was I thinking not checking it?! I guess I was too thrilled by the moment as well to get her something I knew she really wanted. Ha. Looked how that turned out. At least they will return it either for a refund or exchange, if interested, very apologetic, with additional store credit that they already emailed me, showed up in my email this morning. I asked her to pick out several things from their catalog in case there was something else from there that she might like as I know how much she likes their things to surprise her with but now she is saying she doesn't want or need anything. Arghhhh. That is not the point; she deserves something nice or fun as we have been through hell this last year, she needs a treat and it's Christmas. I hate last minute crap though. I just cannot get over, what was I thinking, as if that is not the number one rule, check it when you get it!!!!!!
