Bad Days Suck Azz

Sigh... What a crappy day. I'm not looking for sympathy. Just thought if any of you were having a marginally crappy day, maybe a window into my life will make you feel better... Got up at 5am, took Livvie to the sitter's. Sitter has the flu. Sick as a dog. Wants to know if I can take Livvie somewhere else for the day. Okay, sure, I can figure something out. Take Aaron to work. Go home, wait for it to be late enough to start calling back-up sitters. 10am - Finally get a call from a back-up. Great! Drop Livvie off, head to work... Only gonna go in for 1-2 hours to get a few things done. THREE hours later, I rush out, call sitter to let her know I'm on my way, so sorry I'm late, blah blah blah. Bam, car dies. Right at a light. Won't start. Sigh... Call DH, he flips (we're currently down to one vehicle right now) he tells me to pu**** off the road. Riiiiiggghhhhtttt... I'm in the center lane, at a light, facing a busy highway. Singlehandedly, I'm going to push and steer across 4 lanes of traffic to get it to the shoulder. Uh-huh. Disgusted by the level of un-common-sensed-ness of that, I hang up on him and dial information. Get a garage with tow service, get towed. Call my dad to come get me, get Livve, get Aaron, take us home. Car's done, to the tune of just slightly more than what I have in my account until my check posts tomorrow. Lovely. Livvie hasn't had a nap since her day's been all out of sorts and is now doing her best interpretation of Attilla the Hun. Just called my husband "stupid". Beautiful... Call my dad to pick me up so I can go get my car. Will have to grovel for money until I can pay him back tomorrow when my check clears. I'm 31 years old. This can't possibly be my life...

I'm right there with you sister. My day is sucking as well. Made a mistake at work yesterday and this morning get in and am told i no longer have a job. My mom wants to buy a place for herself in may which means i need to get my own place. Well once again i have no job, my son doesn't listen worth a damn. I'm 31 years old. I think this can't be my life either.

Wow. You win... seriously, that sucks, I'm really sorry. You're son doesn't listen, either? How old is he? Mine's going to be 11 this month. If he makes it that far... The kid and his mouth is seriously in risk of getting himself on the endangered species list... Tell you what. Tie him up, stuff him in a box and send him my way. I'll send you mine. They always listen to other people better than they listen to their own mothers.

Ladies... I didn't think that anything would make me feel "Lucky to be over 40".... Sounds like 31 isn't a stellar year.... Let me tell you a secret. Those little terrors will be heading off to where ever sooner then you can imagine. My Son turns 18 tomorrow and got his college acceptance yesterday... I keep breaking into tears and he won't be leaving 'til September. Now, my 16 year old daughter... pack up both your kids, send them to me and I'll chop her in half and send you each a prize... Good luck to the one that gets her mouth..... Kate Z Glad to be over 40

WOW! Becky, Thanks sooo much for the reality check! I hope today is better!
