nothing in life is free......well except breast pump parts

so listen to this!.......
in today's day and age where you have to pay for every little microscopic thing from checking your baggage on a plane to co-pays at the doctors to renewing your license, i have found something that's free!......replacement parts to my first years breast pump!.......i couldn't believe my ears when the customer service rep told me that they don't sell replacement parts, but if i gave her my mailing info, she'd mail the parts i needed out to me free of charge.......it gave me back a piece of my faith in humanity (well i believe in humanity, it's the humanity of the corporate world that has me skeptical)......it's made me optimistic that tomorrow when i call verizon to get the late fee removed from my latest bill they'll smile and say "why yes we'd be happy to erase that fee, oh and why don't we upgrade you to a bigger plan for your inconvenience"......hmm, we'll take bets on that one.......
anyway as this is a blog for casey, i'll put some casey related things into this post......her daycare, sunrise learning academy, just opened a new infant room this week.......her favorite teacher at the daycare, evalise, will be running that new room.......it's supposed to just be for full time kids, but since they know eva is casey's favorite they bent the rules and put her in that room too!......when i went to visit her today at lunch, she was in a fantastic mood.....and the room was really great - all new and fresh and roomy.......i'm really starting to like her daycare.......it's taken almost 2 months, but i'm finally not on edge worrying if she'll be ok there for the day......in fact last week when i visited her there it dawned on me that she wasn't crying while all the other kids around her were crying......that's a huge milestone (in my mind anyway)......before daycare days she would definitely join in her baby comrades' woes.......but now it seems she can ignore their cries and continue her little smiley day.....there will definitely come a day that i hope she'll try to help solve her peers' and the world's problems, much in her dad's footsteps, but not today!......
