May 11 - crazy Walmart delivery order

I bought groceries on Monday at Aldi for the week. 
But they didn’t have the sugar-free Gatorade that my husband likes to drink after he has been doing things outside.
 So I decided to do a Walmart delivery order. I ordered 2 12 packs of his Gatorade and then I needed to add a few things to bring the total up to $35 for free delivery. 
So I added two bags of flour, a box of Triscuits that my granddaughter really enjoys  and 12 big cans of tomato sauce.
 I  use canned tomato products often to make things like chili and big batches of homemade pasta sauce.
The Gatorade will be delivered tomorrow but I got the other items today.


So just imagine my surprise when there were eight or nine bags on my front doormat after the delivery.
I ordered 12 cans of sauce but I was delivered about 35 cans of sauce! I haven’t taken all of them out of the bags yet So I’m not exactly sure of the exact number they delivered.
 I have no idea how this huge this mistake happened-  

Circled in yellow are the 12 that I ordered and had put away. And then my husband said wait, what about all these other bags? 

I have notified Walmart about the mistake but I have not heard back from them yet.
 Other times when I have received extra Walmart things I didn’t order, they have said sorry about the mistake and please keep them as a gift or pass them onto someone else.

Crazy, right?

2nd week of May -this week’s to do list, a YouTube link and what I did last week and comments

Hello everyone 
First, here is this weeks to do list.  It’s very simple and loose as things come up and I can’t finish tasks I hoped to.  
I know y’all all understand that 

Last week is a perfect example of things happening that needed fixed 
We had a huge flash rain storm last week and I discovered in the middle of the night that water was coming into our house,  
We didn’t have any permanent damage or need to call our insurance company.  And we have worked on a few things to hopefully prevent this again.  Anyway, I was busy with lots of mopping,  removing water from the living room rug and master bedroom carpet,  washing several loads of towels that mopped up rain water - so very little was crossed off last weeks to do list while I spent 2 days dealing with the water in our house. 

This week is so far going just fine.  
It’s really hot so my husband grilled burgers for Monday supper.  We ate all the meat but there were leftover buns and toppings so I decided to just serve those tonight with a new to us recipe.  
It’s a recipe called mesquite grilled chicken sandwiches (but it doesn’t use any actual mesquite) 



I’ll let you know how they turn out.  

A project that has been on my list for sometime isto clean out a closet in our garage and make it exclusively a cleaning items closet. If you walk out through our laundry room, this closet is right there beside the door. It’s functional now but it’s not clean and it’s not pretty. I got the idea from seeing a YouTuber makeover her cleaning closet. 
I remember this homemaker’s cleaning closet was very pretty but she purchased a lot of stuff to accomplish her vision.
I looked on YouTube but I cannot find the exact video that I remember.

Then  last week I saw Emily Wilson on YouTube redo a closet in her home. Her style is much more like my style. She didn’t go out and buy a bunch of stuff. But she accomplished the goal she wanted to.



While I would like to get this closet fixed this week, it is very hot in Oklahoma right now. And there is not a lot of ventilation in our garage. So it might get done but I might have to put it off until we have a cool spill.


Terri left a comment but I accidentally deleted it. 

She is very right about the fact that we won’t always little boys to fetch things in hard to reach places. 
I certainly don’t know everything about children but I do know children are not children  very long.
