The Return Of The Cookie Dough Nightmare

Ya know how I had my whole fun experience of collecting and ordering the cookie dough for the PTA fundraiser? Well the nightmare continued today. It was delivered. Kind of. It was supposed to arrive at the school at 8:30 this morning. It was well after 9 before it came. Then the cookie dough man came and said that the double chocolate brownie cookie dough did not come in and it would not be in until tomorrow. Well it's like this. I had all my volunteers there this morning, a good portion of which was spent just sitting around waiting for the truck to arrive. We had to pull each individual child's order and fill it and deliver it to the classrooms. I already had a ton of people calling telling me they were leaving to go out of town because the kids get out of school early tomorrow and don't come back to school until next Tuesday. (it is spring break and it is the stupidest way to do spring break ever). So I already knew we were going to have a problem with people not getting their orders today, let alone tomorrow. And how am I gonna get volunteers to come and help me again tomorrow. And to have to go through the whole ordeal of sorting and delivering again. Please. But what do you do? So we dealt with it. We sent a note home in the orders saying that the double choc. cookies would be coming home tomorrow. Then we start sorting orders and find out that we are missing a ton of stuff. If you read my previous post about the cookie dough you will remember that after I called in the order we realized that we were missing 2 classes orders. I called those in and he said it would be no problem to add them. Well apparently it was a problem because they didn't come with the other order. I called the guy and called him and called him and called him and called him. Finally he answered and apologized and said he would go to the warehouse and pick it up and bring it to us. Can I just tell you how confusing it makes it to be trying to sort orders and have a ton of orders missing stuff? He finally brings that and I am checking what he brought against the list of things we need and he still didn't bring everything. We were still missing 7 CASES! So he said he would bring them tomorrow with the double chocolate. I said uh, no. You will bring it today so it can go home and the only thing we will be missing tomorrow is the choc. whatever. How crazy would that be to try and figure out that mess?! Please. So he went back to get that and brought it this afternoon. And as people started picking up orders, problems started rollin' in. People were missing things, they had the wrong stuff, there was one lady whose child's order wasn't even there. So I got out my copies of the orders and we had nothing ordered for her kid. She found the order form and $ in the kids backpack. I am scared to wake up tomorrow and find out what other problems we have. Seriously. Scared. Not to mention the fact that I kind of had other stuff I need to take care of tomorrow morning before my kids are out of school for 5 days. My friend who was PTA president last year said they were dealing with problems with orders for weeks after. FUN! What in the heck was I thinking???? Gettin' myself into a mess like this.
