Have you ever had one of those days where everything that could go wrong did?
Phew, for a minute there I thought I was the only one for a second.
It stats off with some trippy dream where I found myself waking up Brian and saying that he needed to get Sarah’s white shirt on the back of the cart. I came to while saying this aloud and thought what in the world. So I roll over and go back to sleep.
6 in the morning comes and it’s time to get up as I need to take Justin and Jessica to their Ultrasound appt. I open my eyes and think ok it’s time to get up. The next thing I know it’s almost 6:30! So here I am 30 minutes behind. I rush to the bathroom and took the fastest shower in history. (Trust me, I bet you can’t beat my time.)
I got Sarah’s lunch ready. Still in my bathrobe and towel in hair. I finally make it to my room where I get dressed and go wake the baby. I feed her and things are going well. Next thing I know I’m getting a phone call from Jessica asking where I was. Apparently my baby is so darn cute I lost track of time playing with her. So here I am 15 minutes behind. Second time I’ve been behind in one day. And not even the good being behind. (wink)
We get to the ultrasound it all went well. Well, except I cried like a baby when I saw my Grandchild on the screen. But, I announced to the room that I was about to have a moment. So you can’t really say much on that.
Then we’ve got to run to the insurance company so they can pay their insurance for their car so they can start driving it again. ( Did I mention this was gonna be a long blog? NO? well, it’s gonna be a long one (winks).)
So while waiting for them to do their thing I call my Mom’s work to tell her all about the ultrasound. Uhhh, Yea. Her bosses reply was “OMG! Didn’t they make it to CA?) Yea, I forgot they were on vacation. No that alone is not that a big of a deal except they’ve been gone almost two weeks and they have my oldest daughter with them! Sighs………….
So we go and make copies of the ultrasound pics and run to Gordmans so I can buy a few things for the baby. Alright, I spent $50 bucks. But it was all on sale! I got a good deal!
We are starving by this point and went to a local restaurant. That went well until it was time to leave. Ok the service sucked but other then that…..
We are all in the van ready to go. I’ve put the car in reverse and notice the oil light on. I was thinking, shoot gonna have to get some oil. As I’m backing out I can barley turn the wheel. I was thinking fuck now the power steering fluid too. Now before I write the rest of this ya’ll have to promise to not laugh to hard. So I backed up and put it in drive. We aren’t moving. Justin said “Mom, you have to take your foot off of the break and put it on the gas.” I was like oh yea. Duh, lol. So I did and we are still not moving. So we put it in reverse and it’s still going backwards. Alright, long story short. We were on an incline so of course we were moving backwards. Oh, and the car hadn’t been turned on yet.
I come home and think I better take a nap. So I took a short nap and then it was time to take Emma to her little league game. Got there fine. Game was good. They lost by a small margin. Then it’s time to leave. As we are leaving all these cars coming at me are looking at me with funny looks. Then I see it. The going wrong way sign. I was driving down a one way the wrong way.
We manage to get home just fine. The girls came into the house first and I was checking out the kittens. They came out to see what was taking me so long to come in. Well, we ended up locked out of the house. I know you all are thinking well, get a spare key. Oh we have one. It was IN the house. Sighs……. One hour later we get rescued by Brian who had to leave work to unlock the door. Thank goodness for cell phones! Emma goes into complete survival mode. Ticking off what we have to eat and drink left over from the game. (eyeroll) Sophie thought for sure we were all gonna starve to death.

As you can see from the pic no one is happy. This was taken after about an hour of “being in the wild” The baby is crying because she wasn’t being pushed anymore.
Then we get in and settled. Get the baby to bed and log on to talk to a friend. This friend has flipped out. Just not the same person they used to be and I told them that I thought it best we don’t speak anymore. Now don’t get me wrong, I’m not blameless in all of this. There is a whole story on that it’s self. But anyway…..
Here I am a little bewildered a little sad and planning on relaxing for just a bit before heading off to bed.
If you all made it to the end I command you!!!
Remember, Jamie says never take anything for granted and always keep your spare key outside of the house!
