I swear, anything that culd go wrong today has gone wrong! Well, let me back up a bit. The morning with the kids went very well, even considering that my son waited until 10 minutes until the bus was supposed to be here before he even started getting ready for school. But we had fun and were laughing, which is the way I prefer getting their mornings started! I was honestly worried that he’d miss the bus, since his bus comes after I leave to take my daughter to her bus stop, but he was gone when I got back.
Normally Monday’s are my favorite day of the week, I look forward to having the day to myself, but almost from the time I got back from taking my daughter to the bus, things went down hill quickly! When I walked in the door I had a pile of white “fluff” in the middle of the living room floor. After some investigating I dsicovered that the fluffl had come from the leather couch and that one of the dogs had chewed a HUGE hole in one of the cushions.
Not long after I got that cleaned up the dogs were looking out the front window barking, which meant that someone was in the driveway. I went and looked and it was a FedEx truck, they were delivering my daughters replacement MP3 player. Amazingly the company mailed the replacement in a box with no type of protection at all other than those plastic blow up tubes on each side of it, but nothing wrapped around the player at all. It’s still charging, so we’re not sure if it works or not.
Once I got the box for the MP3 player opened and the player out, I had to go into my daughters room to find the charger. I was disgusted with the pile of crap beside her bed that I had to dig through in order to find the dang charger, so I decided that I was going to clean up her room. Yeah, right, that’s going to take a week, if not longer. I know that I’m not the worlds best house keeper, but the way my daughter takes care of her room makes me look like a clean freak!
Then this afternoon I went to go pick my daughter up from track practice, the van started just fine, I pulled out of the driveway then put the van in reverse to back up to the mail box to get the mail, and it stalled, right in the middle of the road, and wouldn’t restart! As I’m trying and trying to get it to restart my cell phone rings and it’s my daughter, they let track practice out half an hour earlier than expected and she is standing outside of the school waiting for me. I had my son come out to try and help me at least move the van off the road, but that beast wasn’t gonig anywhere, PERIOD! I just kept trying and trying and finally it did start, so I drove back in the driveway, parked it and took my VERY reliable Honda! On the way to get my daughter I called my hubby SCREAMING, this is the 2nd time the van has done this and I’m DONE! I don’t give a shit if I only get $200 and have to take a huge loss, the van is GONE! It might look nice, but if I can’t rely on it, it’s worthless in my book!
Days like today make me just want to give up! I just want to throw my hands up in the air and not do things that will improve the longevity of life. But I also know that days like today are not common. Yes, things to go wrong occasionally, but not so many things in a single day. Usually it’s just one thing, maybe two, which is managable. But when so many things go wrong in such a short period of time, it’s difficult to not want to just give up, ya know?
Hopefully tomorrow will be better! In the mean time I need get dinner ready, it’s already 6:30, UGH, it’s going ot be a long night too! Can I just go back to bed and wake up tomorrow? PLEASE?????
