Alison Marie and the Terrible Horrible No Good Very Bad Day(s)


last friday when i was pulling out of the driveway with
all the kids loaded up i
hit the gazebo post next to the driveway which
ripped the whole front bumper off the van which
meant that no errands were run or
groceries were bought and
 no present purchased for the birthday party my daughter was 
going to and 
which she was late for that
evening

it was a terrible horrible no good very bad day

on saturday it
was a warm sunny day so
we got gussied up to
have a friend take our pictures outside but
it all got cancelled when the friend's daughter got
the pukes and then i
realized that i had forgotten my work schedule and got a
telephone call from my boss who
told me that i wasn't at work when
i was supposed to be so
i had to hurry up and 
get there late and
had to stay at work later so
we rescheduled the whole photo shoot for 
the following afternoon which was supposed to
be sunny  and warm but wasn't and when i
got home that night my
back hurt and my
feet were sore and there were
extra children running and yelling in
my house

it was a terrible horrible no good very bad day
the following afternoon which was
today it
rained and rained instead of being sunny and
warm so no fun family photo shoot again and
then later i was
bidding on a vacuum cleaner on
ebay and then forgot and bought
another identical
 vacuum on ebay and
now i'm going to have two identical vacuums, actually
three since
i won the same vacuum on ebay last
 week and when it arrived it was broken so
i have to send it back to
get my money refunded but i threw away the
box it came in and now i
don't have another box big
enough and
i have to get up really really 
early tomorrow morning because
i have to stop at walmart on the way to
homeschool co-op to
get a birthday present for a
slumber party that happened three
days ago and
pick up two extra kids on the way whose
sister is too sick to go to 
co-op and
i'm pretty sure that my children have all forgotten to
do their homework which
makes me look like a bad
mother which
i shouldn't care about but
i do


it was a terrible horrible no good very bad day


tomorrow will
get better i
can only hope

  4. Shoot - what a bummer bunch of days. I thought I'd had some bad days lately but after reading this I can see that my life is smooth sailing. I hope it gets better for you (and that you sell your extra vacuum!)

  5. Daaag girl. You need a mommy day out...or maybe in?

    Twin vacuums...I know some women who would kill for that.

    Smooches.

  6. Wow, didn't realize you had such a crummy weekend when I was talking to you today. Fiona had told me about the bumper when I dropped Esther at the party -- but I forgot to ask or look today, were you able to fix it without too much trouble?? Kara

  8. Ah ladies...updates: I was outbid on the second (third?) vacuum...praise the Lord. And yes, the hubs and a friend were able to put Hermione (our van) back together fairly easily.

    Thanks for the encouragement! I'm still waiting for things to improve. Yesterday I forgot to pack complete lunches for the kids and I watched 'Sophie's Choice' last night which made me cry myself to sleep. So no miracle Monday.
