My TERRIBLE, HORRIBLE, NO GOOD, VERY BAD DAY !

And no, I am not reading the kids book from years back.. this story takes place about 24 hours ago, and has me as the author.

I woke up at sometime around 6am when Adam left for work. Noticed it had iced outside and everything was covered with a thick coat of it. I helped Adam tidy up and get out the door, then fell on a patch of ice. OUCH. Felt like an idiot, but was glad it was still kinda dark out so that *maybe* not a whole lot of people saw that I had just done that ..

After Adam left, I tried to fix the blow up snowman we have out in the yard that was over taken by the ice. I beat him up a few times to get the ice off and fell again in the snow, tripping over the line that holds the snowman and snapping it. So I had to go down to the basement to get another ... cold out, I fixed the evil snowman. How dare he trip me. :O(

Then I finished getting the rest of the ice off his back and had a shard of it shoot me in the face. I kicked Mr. Snowman and as a result broke a few of the little lights inside. Going into the house to get the garage door opener to fix my dumb mistake, I discovered that Adam had the opener with him. Sigh ... so I called him. As I was on the phone Jordan left for school and Finally Adam answered his phone. He sounded dismayed so I asked what was wrong. He said he had to stop at WalMart before work to get something for lunch and before he could stop, the tire was thump, thump, thumping. He thought it was a flat but it wasn't. It was, All but ONE of the lug nuts AND PINS that had snapped off the back passenger side tire of our van. Seems like my bad day became his - or was it vise versa ?!  SIGH ... Just so happens that his friend from work was in WalMart and gave him a ride to work with him, leaving the van in the parking lot - tire hanging off in a mound of snow.

Anyway .. so I was so very glad that Adam wasn't hurt, and that our van IS fixable, but now I am VERY scared to drive it because what if it happened again ?!! I knew the van was having issues and thus being why we cancelled our trip to Florida, and that could of been the best thing, but man ...... I really could use a vacation !

Sooo. I never could get into the garage - Adam had the opener and the keys. So I couldn't fix the rotten snowman till he came home. So I decided to go back inside, just then I saw Jordan coming back  - he told me school was cancelled for the day. Once I went back in, I tidy'd up, started a load of laundry and laid back down under my electric blanket. I fell back asleep and woke up with a huge migraine AND friggin cramps at around 10:30. I tried really hard to piddle around - get something done ... but literally everything I was doing or trying to do was going wrong ! No matter what I did, it seemed like I was a clutz or that it just was not going to work. SO with that, I just sat on the sofa and veged out... no way was I ever going even to attempt another thing today ... and by now I was so frustrated, the kids were driving me nuts and I was sooo cranky that even the littlest things were sending me into a tizzy.

4pm, Adam comes home with his friends car - I actually had gotten back up and was attemping to fold laundry. My pile then landed all over the floor and Adam was like "I need you to drive the van back from WalMart so I can take Andy back his car .. all is fixed, but you have to go NOW" ! ..... Well, in case you don't know me ........ I have a reallllly super hard time just flying out the door. I had a horrible day, I am dressed like a SLOB, unshowered, unkempt, laundry all over the floor now and he wants me to do what ... now ? yikes !

Needless to say, I did it, almost falling on my patootie again on my way out the door, but I made it. I was perty petrified about driving the van back, but it did okay ... although most likely I won't do that again for a while. I hate having just the one car - and a van at that - now. But it is what it is..... and  atleast I am just glad it don't have any payments to make.

So by the time Adam got back home, I had managed to pop the fuse on the Christmas lights on the front porch and wrote a list of the things I needed to bring in from the garage.  I go to the garage and the DOOR breaks !

ARE YOU EVEN EVER LOVIN' kidding meeee ? God ? WHAT are you doing to me today  ????

So, I get my things I needed, take them around to the house, and then go back to the garage unplug the opener and take forever and tommorrow to shut the door because it is broke. Yay .. now we are having fun ! After going back in .. I fixed the front porch lights then declare to everyone, I had - had it ! I told Adam he was going to go get something for dinner because the kitchen was closed and if anyone wanted food they had better go out the house to get it because I was not allowing them into the kitchen .. and as soon as I can I am going to bed ! While Adam went and got McD's, the kids showered, I washed Adam's work clothes and got ready for bed. Thankfully Adam helped me alot even though I know he was tired. I was able to clean up my mess and declare it a day.

So here I am , everyone is asleep but me and ALL I have to say, is that if tommorrow is THAT way .. I am going to run FAR, FAR away !!!
