What a crappy day

I am SO glad this day is over! This morning we were up at 7:30, nursed Delanah and then slept until 9am. Down to brekkie we go, even though all I wanted to do was sleep more, and man it was packed! So we grabbed some food and came back to the room. Oh, no bananas for Delanah either. Around 10:20 she started rubbing her eyes so I thought I would put her in her crib for a nap. I let her fuss for a bit then went and took my shower and tried to wake up. An hour after I put her down she really started wailing so I went in get her and there she was, sitting up, looking like a little jailbird facing her bars :) We played on the floor for a bit, she was really into cuddling and interacting with me. I went to feed her around 11am and we laid in bed and she crashed. I was getting myself ready and playing on the computer. I was hoping she would take a long nap, considering how late she went to bed the night before, and I was hungry (have I mentioned how tired I am of eating out?) so I looked at the "room service" menu for something to order for Delanah and I. Boston Pizza, across the parking lot, offers the "room service", at high prices and with fatty foods. I finally decided on something for her, went to order it and was told that the menu that the hotel left in our room was outdated and they didn't offer that item any more. Before I could order from their website, Delanah was up, only an hour after going down.
I got us ready quickly and decided we would get our errands done. Heck, although there was nothing there the other day, I figured something in the food court would do for us for lunch. On the way out I stopped at the front desk and requested that they service the room. The mall was packed, of course, but we found a spot near Sears and meandered our way to the doors. Then the handicapped door (the outer of the two doors) was not working so I had to wrestle a stroller and a heavy door. We headed to the children's play area and I let Delanah spend some time standing near the wire/bead table and interact with the kids. There was a mom there who complimented Delanah's standing. How lovely Canadians are! I think Delanah was doing a pretty good job as well, but it's always nice when other people notice. After a bit she was tiring and the kids were leaving so we took off to wander a bit. We came back to the play area as the elevator is there and I had decided to get a fruit smoothie and then let her play again...guess what was broken...the elevator! Sigh....I let Delanah play a bit more then we left...on to Superstore!
The "family's with young children" spots were taken over with carts, so we parked a bit further out. I sent a text to Dave letting him know we weren't going to be up for the BBQ tonight. I was hungry (brekkie at 9am, it was now 3pm and no lunch in sight) and tired. We went to get more gDiapers...guess what they didn't have? None of the wipes I wanted either. Awesome. They did have my bran muffins though! I got some of my favorite cookies from the bin, some muffins and a cheese roll and as a special treat, a Canadian Reader's Digest :)
I get back to the hotel and in the elevator there is yet another of the ominous notes...the water was to be turned off from 3:30-7pm...it was 3:40...great. I walk to the room, excited that we were going to have a vacuumed floor and new towels and.....they didn't service the room! I called to the desk immediately and they were as useless as always. This was the end for me. Delanah was fussy, again, I was tired, hungry and sick and tired of them turning off the water! I tried the calling card and couldn't make it work so I called Dave on my cell phone and I was just crying. I am so sick of this hotel! I want to go home! I asked him to bring water so we could at least wash up.
Delanah and I laid down in bed and she fell asleep after nursing and I dozed on and off. Dave came back, having tried to talk to the manager (again, useless) and brought water :) I went down and asked for towels, letting them know I had now been waiting 4 hours for them and said they could still come up and service the room. I decided that I could go to the BBQ and lo and behold, the water came on! When we got back a little after 8pm there was still nothing done in our room....SO not happy! This was just not a fun day! Dave and Delanah are both sleeping right now and I am almost done decompressing and will soon be joining them. Calgary was really fun last time, this time? Yeah, not going to be racing back here anytime soon and most definitely NOT to this hotel!
