because some days
just take you hostage
i am re-posting
one of my most-read posts
last friday when i was pulling out of the driveway with
all the kids loaded up i
hit the gazebo post next to the driveway which
ripped the whole front bumper off the van which
meant that no errands were run or
groceries were bought and
no present purchased for the birthday party my daughter was
going to and
which she was late for that
evening
it was a terrible horrible no good very bad day
on saturday it
was a warm sunny day so
we got gussied up to
have a friend take our pictures outside but
it all got cancelled when the friend's daughter got
the pukes and then i
realized that i had forgotten my work schedule and got a
telephone call from my boss who
told me that i wasn't at work when
i was supposed to be so
i had to hurry up and
get there late and
had to stay at work later so
we rescheduled the whole photo shoot for
the following afternoon which was supposed to
be sunny and warm but wasn't and when i
got home that night my
back hurt and my
feet were sore and there were
extra children running and yelling in
my house
it was a terrible horrible no good very bad day
the following afternoon which was
today it
rained and rained instead of being sunny and
warm so no fun family photo shoot again and
then later i was
bidding on a vacuum cleaner on
ebay and then forgot and bought
another identical
vacuum on ebay and
now i'm going to have two identical vacuums, actually
three since
i won the same vacuum on ebay last
week and when it arrived it was broken so
i have to send it back to
get my money refunded but i threw away the
box it came in and now i
don't have another box big
enough and
i have to get up really really
early tomorrow morning because
i have to stop at walmart on the way to
homeschool co-op to
get a birthday present for a
slumber party that happened three
days ago and
pick up two extra kids on the way whose
sister is too sick to go to
co-op and
i'm pretty sure that my children have all forgotten to
do their homework which
makes me look like a bad
mother which
i shouldn't care about but
i do
it was a terrible horrible no good very bad day
tomorrow will
get better i
can only hope
