Am I early ? Am I Late ? Am I on time?

When we received Cindy's Graduation announcements a few weeks ago I noticed that they were wrong. The confusion started because Cindy will graduate from our local high school next month, however she is now and has been attending the local Career and Technical school for the last two years. Because Cindy was not in attendance when the home schools announcement company came and passed out information on ordering announcements and the school never thought that these kids who attend the CTC would need this information, she never got it. In the meantime a company decided to print CTC announcements and passed out order forms at the CTC . This company never informed the students that these were not announcements with their home schools name but rather CTC announcements. Well because this was the only order form that we got, and there was no paper explaining that they were CTC included with the order form,I didn't think about it , ordered them, and of course paid through the nose for them.Fast forward to about three or four weeks ago Cindy got the announcements. We figured that there was a small mistake that could be corrected so I called the company and found out that a simple exchange was not possible. The man did offer to refund my money , which I should have accepted but then I wouldn't have any announcements so that wasn't real good either. I did call the man who was the sales rep for our home school( after I got his name from a family whose daughter still attends the home school ) but instead of offering to sell me some announcements that I wanted he screamed at me ( as if it were my fault ) and asked why this other company gave my daughter an order form. ( The question on my mind was .... Why didn't he ? ) Anyway, I just gave up and accepted what I had , set them up and went on with my life. The other day I looked at the box as I was thinking it was about time to send them out and the etiquette on the box stated that I should wait until two weeks before graduation to send them.It stated that I should wait even longer if we were having a party ( why yes we are ) more than a week after Graduation. I didn't think much more about this until I was talking to my Mom last night and she said that she hadn't received announcements for the five other Graduations in the family yet and wondered why everyone was running so late.Then my brother called this morning asking why he didn't get an invitation. I told him that I hadn't gotten them out yet and he told me that he has gotten three others already and that I needed to get a move on. Cindy also informed me today that her friends had gotten theirs out and asked when I planned on getting hers out ( no she made no offer to help.) So here I set wondering.... by the box I am still early, by Cindy I am on time, and by my brother I am late. I have decided that I will try to get them out by early next week so for those of you who think I'm early, Your welcome for the "heads up" . For those of you who think I am on time... Yea of course I know what I'm doing. And for those of you who think I am late I do apologise. Now I think I will get back to getting announcements ready.
