It is going to be one of THOSE days

It just isn't a good sign when you have only been out of bed for 45 minutes, and you are already over and done with your day.

We got a little bit of snow last night, mixed with rain....that froze.  So school is delayed 90 minutes.  The phone rang at 5:22am to announce this.  Then the cell phone rang at 5:24am to make sure we knew. 

The kids are going to have to go with G-man to the dentist and he will drive them to school.  See...he has a 9am dentist appt.  I have a 10am appointment elsewhere.  School starts at 10:35am this morning.  While this scenario isn't ideal, it is the best we can do since our lovely offspring will NOT be getting on a bus at 8:40am and 8:55am.

Bossy's feeding pump has decided that it wants to stop every 1-3 minutes.  It thinks it is clogged.  It isn't.  The bag isn't laying right.  And the tubing is cold and less than pliable.  So every 3 (hold on...it just beeped at me again) minutes I am having to adjust it and fix it.  This is getting really old. (hang on it is beeping AGAIN)

My boss is going to be all annoyed today.  He wasn't happy about my missing work on Friday (although I did a few things from home).  I already know that my desk is going to be a mess, as another person who was out sick for several days was in the office on Friday, and no doubt dumped a ton of stuff on my desk....which I wasn't there to receive and deal with.

Tonight is PTA...and for reasons I can't get into....it is going to be BAD.  Like, we have already been told that if we need to call the police, to go ahead and do it.  There are several levels of nasty going on....and it is going to make for a very long, very complicated meeting.  And as Secretary, I am going to have write it all down, and Heaven forbid I make a mistake.....I will get jumped on next meeting.

Mom is arriving in T minus 2 days and 6 hours.  I am not ready.

Someone send me some good Ju-Ju today.  I need it.

  1. Ow. Sorry to hear that. I hate it when you KNOW it's going to be one of them days so early in the morning. It's like you already know you're doomed but have no option whatsoever. However, that also gives the day a chance to turn around in a very unpredictable way and have some really good items to make up for all the bad ones. Hopefully your day has a silver lining.

  5. Can you record the meeting? I used to be on a board and that's what our secretary did, so he didn't miss anything.

  10. As soon as you mentioned "pta meeting", I felt your pain..but then to find out you are the secretary? I'm so sorry. I like the idea of recording it too.

    You may need to call the police? Isn't it sad that adults can't act civilized?

    Okay, Mysti, I'm sending you good vibes....and pray that you make it through the day and evening unscathed. Also, you should make sure there is a bottle of Chardonnay waiting for you when you get home...:)!

  11. Hope you made it thru your day... don't you love how they postpone school but don't think about the consequences. They postpone it here, but since my daughter doesn't ride the buss, she has to go to town at the same time anyway, since we have to work...

  12. Sending you major juju today Mysti - you're gonna need it! A bus delay first thing in the morning just wrecks the rest of the day. Wish you could relax tonight instead of going to that meeting!

  13. OH NO!!! That is crazy! I am so very happy that we don't have that bad in our PTA - we just have a few that people very nicely ignore.... they just keep beating the same bush!

    I wish everyone would just step back & remember why we are all there in the first place! good Luck
