Have you ever had one of those days that was just supposed to turn out perfect, and in retrospect, if you were given a "do-over", you would've turned off the alarm and NEVER got out of bed? Yea, it was one of those days. (Consider yourself warned - serious ranting ahead!)
So - since Connor is sick with every virus known to man right now, and has his 2nd ear infection, he can't go to daycare, and your husband and you freak out yesterday about who is going to stay home because you both have something going on that day that you CANNOT miss and while you are fighting about this your angel sister-in-law calls and says she can go in to work late and watch the sick baby in the morning so you can go to work and your husband can go do his one critical appointment and then come back - no problem. Perfect, right?
So you go to your offsite meeting with your boss which is the BIGGEST, FATTEST, HUGEST, waste of time you've ever spent in your ENTIRE life and if you would've been given the choice of that or cleaning gas station bathrooms for a month, you might've had to think about it for a minute.
Then, above mentioned boss, actually lets you out of your offsite early because for hours they have been saying travel is NOT ADVISED on the roads because of a blizzard that is now on top of us, and you actually make it within a mile of your home before you can't see 2 feet in front of you with your 3 year old in the car that keeps asking "why are we stopping Mommy", "why can't we see anything Mommy", "Why is it windy, Mommy?", but you finally make it to your warm home in one piece. You cook some dinner for your kids, and your husband actually has his own dinner in the oven because he knows you have a hair appointment that night. Perfect, right?
So you go to your hair appointment and find out that the hair salon had been trying to get ahold of you to come in early if you would've liked (which would've worked out perfect) so you could get home to spend more time with the kids before they go to sleep but you don't get the message because you phone was still on vibrate from your stupid offsite today where your boss had you turn your cell phone off but you wouldn't because you knew you had a sick baby at home. So you get your hair done and go home and find out that your husband didn't listen to you or even WATCH when you were 1 foot in front of him giving the baby his medicine before you left and proceeded to give him another dose of Aug.menten right before you walked in to the house, which then caused the baby to have a horrible stomach ache because that stuff just TEARS HIM UP and tomorrow he will likely poop his own weight in diarrehea because of that. And because he has a stomach ache it takes almost an hour to get him to sleep as he arches his back and winces in pain. Then you get the kids to sleep and finally pick up the computer to check your e-mails from work that you didn't have a chance to check that day and find out not only do you have 90 unread messages, that most of them are messages where you are just copied because someone wants to be a tattle-tale on someone else or bitch about the way one of people that works for you is doing their job because they are obviously incompetent and if only THEY could do their job the world would be a perfect place.
Yea, it's been one of those days.

But the important thing is; did you have to pay a dollar into the pool at work???? Or did you forget to check in.
