Call It What You Want...

A while back, I wrote about waiting for a shipment to arrive via FedEx, sharing my annoyance with my friend whose homeschooling materials wandered around the Great Lakes states for many weeks before arriving, bedraggled, weeks after the replacement shipment arrived.

Who needs homeschooling materials when you have FedEx "SmartPost" tracker, at least for geography? Andrea, here's Audrey's geography lesson: plot the points tracked by my package.

This time I thought I was in luck -- it went straight from New Berlin, Wisconsin (Feb 7), to be checking in at Indianapolis (Feb 8)! What luck!

Only now it's in Cincinnati. 11:32 a.m. today, "Shipment accepted, Cincinnati, OH".

Oh.

Where to next?

DAILY UPDATE:

Just in case you wondered. In other related news, two FedEx trucks drove by my house today, as they do every single other day. I think my package will eventually arrive via US Postal Service, which makes little sense to me. The shipping world apparently is beyond my comprehension.

So. My mail carried delivered the package today, and I have installed this with Mark's carseat in the van:

Well, just the footrest right now. (Not the kids, either. I'll keep my own.) I'll save the table for times when we're on a long trip. i'll let you know how we like it. But it still seems silly to FedEx it to Indianapolis and then take it to Cincinnati to put it in the mail...
