My son has been getting up around 5 on weekends. I told him that he has to stay in bed tomorrow until the first number on his clock is a 6 or the Easter Bunny won't have time to hide the eggs.

I'm apparently really struggling with my communication skills today. I got a call from a lady with a very strong accent who wanted to buy some eggs. I didn't understand at least half of what she said, and it took forever for her to understand I would need to meet her somewhere to give her the eggs rather than giving her my address because I don't want a bunch of strangers coming to my house. She had mentioned that she has some hens, but that they are sitting (trying to hatch some eggs) so I thought she was wanting eggs to eat because she wasn't getting any from her own hens. It wasn't until after we'd parted ways that I realized she had wanted the eggs to give to her hens to hatch. Too bad I brought her cold eggs that have been in my fridge for more than a week instead of the fresh unrefrigerated eggs that would be ideal for hatching. Poor lady was rambling on and on and I was just dumbly nodding my head because I could not understand a thing she was saying. The worst part is that DH's number is on my ad, so he talks to people and then gives them my number so I can meet them to deliver the eggs after he's determined they are not scammers. I called him after I left the lady to find out what he understood from her and he said he knew she wanted hatching eggs all along! I sent her a text message apologising for the mix up and offering her new eggs of the breed of her choice, but I don't think she understood a word of it based on her response.

OMFG so I just went another round with the weird Craigslist people and I think I'm just done. This guy was very difficult to understand but seemed to understand me and wanted to buy a chick because he got one for his grandkids for Easter and it needs a friend. I get there and the guy is homeless and doesn't have any money and tried to pay me with a coupon book. I had to just leave. Meanwhile DH is freaking out that this guy has accomplices that are trying to follow me and kidnap me and my kids or something.
