This morning can bite me...

dana316 · August 2011

It started out with a toddler covered in poop in her crib...and as hard as it may be to believe, it got worse.

We had to take my dog to the vet for his weekly shot. I got both of them in the SUV, and then realized that I had locked my car keys AND my cell phone in the house. Fuuck.

The house was locked up tight...so I went to the barn to try to get another mode of transportation. My brilliant plan was to get on the 4 wheeler and go to my neighbor's house and call Steven. My closest neighbors are a little less than a mile away.

The damned 4 wheeler wouldn't start. So I tried the lawn mower. I was desperate. It started right up, but had a freaking flat tire. At this point, I was stongly considering saddling one of my horses, but I chickened out. I had no idea how I was going to be able to get me AND Caroline up on the horse...so that plan was out.

So, I put Caroline in her stroller and pushed her almost a mile (down a gravel driveway) to my neighbor's house. When I finally got there, I was sobbing and I'm sure they thought I was nuts.

I called my DH, and the neighbor took me back home. I put Caro back in the Tahoe, and then I heard my cell phone ringing. I hadn't locked it OR my keys in the house...they were in the side pocket of the diaper bag the whole freaking.time.

We finally got to the vet's office, where my child proceeded to act AWFUL. So awful, in fact, that they put us in an exam room ahead of about 5 other people, just to get us out of the waiting room.

I have no control over her these days. I was in tears the whole time we were there...so much so that when we left, I was sobbing in the parking lot trying to get my incredibly arthritic dog into my truck and the receptionist came out to help and I ended up sobbing in her arms. We've been using this vet forever, so she's known me forever...but still. I know she thinks I am some nutty pregnant woman.

This has probably been one of the worst days of my life...add that to the crappy weekend, and well, I'm just done. I am just freaking done. My house is a disaster area, I have nothing ready for Parker, and Caroline is absolutely out of control.

I am failing at life Crying

When it rains it pours! I'm sorry you are having such a day...bigs hugs your way!

Ugh, that does sound like a craptastic day. You are not failing at life, though. Take a breath and a moment for yourself. I'll bet tomorrow will be better, and you will get done what you need to get done for Parker. And Caro -- well, no advice there, but I'm told they grow out of it eventually, right? Hugs to you!

Aw man! That sucks! Sorry you are having such a bad day. You know how they say that there is a calm before the storm, well, maybe this is the storm before the calm. We've all had crap days, and I hope your is followed my some great ones! Hugs!!

Holy crap. That's one doozy of a morning for sure! I hate when days like that seem to snow ball out of control. I had a handful of days like that when I was pregnant. Taking care of a toddler and being very pregnant is very very difficult and exhausting. I have also had a handful of code red melt downs since I had DS almost two weeks ago. Gotta love those pregnancy and post pregnancy hormones.

Hang in there mama. Here's hoping C takes a nice long afternoon nap and you can rest...

((HUGS)) I hope it gets better.

JillRock96 · August 2011

You are NOT failing at life. We have ALL had those days. Today just sucks, plain and simple.

(((BIG HUGS))), honey, I hope tomorrow is better.

Melicakes · August 2011

Holy hell... I am just a lurker but clearly you need a hug so here it is-->BIG HUG!

Hoping the rest of your day ( week, month, pregnancy etc) is as uneventful as possible. Pretty sure today's happenings are more than enough to cover the rest of the year.

I am sorry your day has been so bad. Just remember tomorrow is a new day..at least that's what I tell myself..

I also have had a craptastic day. DH has been gone since 545 this AM..his lovely alarm also woke me up! Great thanks!! I am already not sleeping great and won't be home till 7ish right before my yoga class..and so help me G*d if he isn't home by then I will lose my mind. Jake didn't nap this am..so he has been a hot crying mess all day..he is finally up stairs sleeping I hope..cause this momma needs a break.

To add to this DH is gone all day tomorrow..last preaseason football game and then on Friday he starts a six game homestand...so will be working all weekend. AWESOME!!

Again I hope that your day gets better..sending you a big hug!
