Being Nice and Candy Up the Nose

Yesterday was, I don't know, just not a good day. I should have been dancing in the road; Husband went back to work and Son went back to school. I could have some small bit of peace, but NOOOOOOO!

Daughter and I set out for my least favorite chore, groceries, and all went well. I managed to avoid temptation at Wal-Mart (which, spelled backwards, is "tram-law") and kept the spending within budget.

BTW, grapes were $1.98/lb. What the piss?

Anyway, we got home and as soon as I got La Tahoe in the garage I just felt like "I'm so damn tired of doing this." (In a mood, feeling angry...one of those days.) The job of unpacking all the groceries was made worse by Daughter approaching me every two minutes for a banana...or juice...or crackers...or what ever!

Then she stuck candy up her nose. I don't know why she did this. Don't worry, it was one of those little Nerd candies; it started to melt almost as soon as it hit her nose. But I was all like "Why did I have children?"

I called a friend at that point and we compared notes on our day thus far. It wasn't even noon and we'd both had pretty rotten mornings!

Fast forward to 5:00 p.m. when Son and I arrived for his eye exam. I was met in the parking lot by a woman who said the doc was really backed up, that someone had been sitting and waiting since 1:30! Crap. Soooooo, Son and I hustled in and I just rescheduled. There's nothing wrong with his eyes, it was just a routine check-up, and I told the receptionist to get those other folks out of there (and there was no where to sit).

No big deal. I was happy to not have to wait!

Let's hope today is better.
