Swing sets and miracles

We were finally able to purchase a swingset! Thank you President Bush!
Right now it is sitting in our garage in boxes and hopefully will be put up tonight.

We went to Menards after seeing one in their sale ad. I called ahead and the guy I talked to said they had some in stock. He said is wasn't a kit and they always have the materials needed. When we got there at 8:30pm and went looking for it, they didn't have anymore of that one! (and yes, it is a kit) The guy who tried to help us did not know much about the other swingsets they had. I asked if we could get one comparable to the one in the ad for the same price. He had to get his manager and we found one and also got it for a little cheaper than the sale ad. At 10pm we were still there waiting for someone to help us load up the boxes!
I was getting very frustrated because to me, if you work in customer service, you should be trained in customer service! I also think you should have knowledge of the products in the department you work in. Hey, but I might just have high expectations! Anyway, we finally got home around 10:30pm with a new swing set!

We had told Adrianna that we were getting one, and that is one of the reasons I really wanted to have one when we got home. I know kids can't always have what they want, but mommy wanted it too and we have been waiting to buy one for about 2 years! Anyway, she got up this morning and asked if we had one. I told her it was in boxes in the garage and had to be put together.
She looked at me with a huge smile on her face and said "It's such a miracle!"

I'll post pictures once it is up!
