ever have ‘one of those days?’

Today was that day!  In a great big ol’ way … it started off okay {sorry, not sure why I’m rhyme master at the moment}.

I dropped the kids off at school and stopped by the gas station to fill up.  Took forever to authorize my card {excuse me, I’m standing in 10 degree weather, could we hurry it up a bit?}.  Then tells me my card’s been rejected.
Rejected?  “Nah,” I think and being the stubborn idiot I am, I try it again.  You know, cuz the first time it didn’t take long enough and because I rather enjoy the freezing cold weather.
Rejected again.  Fine, I’ll pay inside then.  That took another 30 minutes to process … good times!  And then … it wouldn’t let me pick the type of gasoline I wanted.  Humpf!
So I get back in the car and drive to the next pump.  Same ol’ routine happening at pump number two.  I thought surely it was a pump number one ‘thing’ and pump number two definitely wouldn’t reject my card.  I was wrong …
I take the rejection easier this time and go straight for the pay inside option.  And this pump liked my gas choice and I’m in business.
I get inside the car to wait and notice the shirt I’m wearing is on backwards.  It’s a turtleneck {why do I feel like a dork admitting that?}, and it’s got a seam line that runs down the center of the neck cowl.  So the seam is in the front.  I don’t think it’s too noticeable, and I’m quite lazy, so I leave it like that all day.
Gas is done and I’m on my way to work.
When I get to work, I try to clean myself up a little.  I’ve got my jeans tucked in my Uggs {yeah, cuz I’m super cool like that … just can’t let a trend die}, but they’re the knitted type and my jeans are all crazy in there cuz I was in a hurry leaving the house with 3 kids this morning, so I try and straighten them out best I can, but I’m feeling much like train wreck.
I go over and clue Nellie in on my train wreck situation and while I’m talking, I realize I have a hole in my sleeve.  Does it get better?
Yeah.
Turns out someone’s gotten a hold of my credit card number and has been doing a little spending.  What the heck?
Let’s see … what else?  Given my day, I was probably walking around with a hunk of cilantro {from the chili I brought in} in my teeth!
Fast forward a few hours.
We took the girls to a movie tonight {Hotel for Dogs … loved it!}.  Curt picked up the baby, while I picked up Piper and Wynter.  Miss teenager had a dance to attend.
We met at the theater.  Curt was in charge of snacks.  He bought each of the girls their own slushie’s.  I usually buy them one small drink to share.  I’ve been trying, trying, trying to relax a little with the rules, have more fun and not be such a task master.
I was not happy, but I didn’t say a word.  Slushie’s?  Mmmm, yummy, sure, no problem.
Hunter sat by Curt, so I wasn’t keeping an eye on things.  Turns out, she drank her whole slushie.  How do I know?  It came out at the end of the movie … all over me!  With a little popcorn in there too.
She threw up all over herself and me.  Yuck.  Curt took her into the bathroom to change, while I went to clean myself up.  Hunter and I both end up going home shirtless {under our jackets}.
Good times this day of mine … and I’m happy to say, “all good things must come to an end.”
Nite-Nite …

    That is a bummer day! Oh, you still have cilantro in your teeth. Well, somebody had to tell you. ;-)

    So glad you’re well. We prayed a lot here.
