All too Appropriate -->
Nov. 6th, 2008 02:47 pmYou know, I have a damn good life and I'm perfectly aware that there are people who would kill for this kind of "rough day." But it's been a rough one anyway.
-I woke up at 5, had a hard time going back to sleep, and when I did, overslept so I couldn't get a workout in.
-Toby threw a major fit at breakfast.
-In my exhausted, out-of-it haze I put handsoap on Toby's tooth brush. Oops.
-I still have no idea where Trevor's right shoe is. Fortunately, I still have Toby's old pair.
-I very nearly sprained my ankle, and said "fuck" in front of Toby. Don't think he didn't file it away, to be pulled out in front of my in-laws or something.
-We went for pictures. Of course, both children- despite being fed and as well rested as they could be- started off the session MISERABLE. Fortunately, the photographers at Picture People were AWESOME and really worked with us.
-Oh, apparently the manager goofed and didn't change my appointment time, so they'd been waiting for me since 10:20 when I walked in for a 10:40 appointment.
-I had no idea it was going to take so long. Granted, it wasn't supposed to- it was supposed to take 20 minutes. But Trevor wouldn't stop crying and they suggested I go out and walk around the mall with him; get him calmed down. It worked, and when we came back we did get a good picture. We went to get cookies afterwards, and it was 12:30. Trevor was howling because of course he was hungry, and I didn't bring lunch for Toby, who is impossible to feed. I ended up running around the food court- thank God McD's had vanilla yogurt.
-While cutting up Trevor's pizza (thank God this kid eats pretty much anything), I got tomato sauce in one of the cracks on my hands. OUCH.
::Sigh:: Today's sucked.
Tell me something good?
(BTW: Does anyone have ideas for service projects that are SAHM friendly that go beyond just donating money?)
