A crappy couple o days.
It started on Friday…Gabe stubbed his toe hard on Thursday night, so we had the pleasure of sitting in the ER for 5 hours Friday morning when he woke up unable to walk! He’s fine, though - just has to keep in splinted and try not to hit it again. I’ll have to post pics when I download the camera.
And then, on the way to Baltimore, the 10-month-old DVD player in the van stopped working. Of course, now that it is in the shop, it’s working just fine. GRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRR. Oh, and did I mention that the navigation system froze, too????
But today just takes the cake.
First, they gave me the wrong loaner vehicle at the dealership. While the new Accord is REALLY nice, there was a reason that I bought a van. Oh, and since I don’t have the military sticker on this nice Accord, I can’t go to the commissary and get our much-needed grocery shopping done.
Then, I tried to do laundry. I now know why Chris does the laundry. While washing clothes, I hit the button to turn the dryer on. It didn’t work (cuz nothing in my life is working right now???) Check the lint, close the door, hit the button, nothing. Close the door, turn the knob, hit the button, nothing. Walk away. Eat lunch. Walk back, do all of the above, still nothing. Find manual, call Whirlpool. Get ticked. Stay on hold for 10 minutes. Go back to dryer, check the clothes inside, close the door, hit the REAL button…gee, it works. Yes, that’s right - my mind is SO gone today that I was hitting THE WRONG BUTTON THE ENTIRE TIME!
I tried to take a nap, but couldn’t manage to fall asleep.
I can’t even in good motherhood to my son mention what happened to him today at school. Let’s just say his tummy wasn’t feeling well. Neither is mommy’s.
Then the toilet backed up while said tummy was not feeling well. Ugh.
THEN I went to pick up my neighbor’s grandchild at the bus stop…she didn’t get off the bus! I spent the next 20 minutes trying to find her, only to find out that her teacher put her on the wrong bus!!!
And to top it all off, HALL OF FAME CALLS HAVEN’T STARTED YET!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
Is it midnight yet?????? PLEASE let tomorrow be better.
oh girl!!! Sending MAJOR hugs your way!!! I’ve got my fingers and toes crossed for ya! Hope the days does a major turn around!!

Makes you feel like holding up the white flag to wave surrender …. to life in general and for moms, really, there’s no place to retreat to !!!!! We’ve just had one of those weeks - bills due, dance exam stress, the home in the mess with the AC down.
Cheer up, things will surely get better, it always does. When I hit rock bottom, I always tell myself the only way to go is up ? *grin*
