pathetic indeed- postal woes

...that while I have been out of stamps for weeks I haven't made it to the post office to buy stamps. I tried the other day at the grocery store but you had to go to customer service and I had 2 falling apart kids and had already carried the 25lber through the store was pushing the cart and trying not to run down the heals of my hop- on, hop- off 3 year old and I was not waiting in one more line to be serenaded with cacophonous whine sand squawks.

I hate nothing else like schlepping to the post office. Maybe I was traumatized as a child, I don't know. My town actually has really nice postal workers. I should not be so avoidant. There is just something about driving 7 minutes out in the cold strapping and unstrapping 2 children all for some little stickers.

I asked my postal worker if I could justifiably beg off the lateness of my Christmas thank you notes which have been sitting in want of stamps due to winter hardship or if i was just a sign that I was plain lazy.

Today seeing as the snow has finally melted off my deck and patches of grass are poking through. I couldn't pull the snowed in excuse- although the seasonally affected sun deprived February excuse probably could've bought me a few more weeks. Today after 14 minutes in the car, 2 strap ins, 2 unstraps, 3 coats, $9, 3 sheets of commemoratives, and one round of chase the pages of stamps that are blowing away in the parking lot. My thanks will now be complete.
