Ever had one of those days?


Woke up late...
Children screaming with joy and excitement (playing cuz mom wasn't up making them do school)...
Forgot to buy milk...
Oldest MIA cuz she is getting ready for a sleepover...
Can't find said childs asthma meds to go to sleepover...
Call the doctors office and talk to a machine....
Waiting for call back from said doctors office...
House upside down....
Much yelling (by me)...
Feral cat still in the garage...
Toilet, full icky toilet, overflows...
Poo water under bathroom vanity...
Inch and half of water barricaded with some towels around toilet...
Children playing and not bringing more towels like I asked...
More yelling (by me)...
Cat puke found in the garage...
Finally find the number for the home repair policy and spend 10 min talking to a machine...
Sweet heart calls and someone is coming to visit at 7:30 pm
In less than 10 min. rescue rooter calls and will be here in 2 hrs!!!
Much yelling and screaming getting the house picked up...
Oldest pressing her hair and house smells of burnt hair...
Put Cinnamon water on to help with all the yucky smells....
Cleaning poo water and washing the floor with bleach...
Lunch...
Peace, house clean, children fed...
Really nice repair guy comes and fixes all bathroom issues...
Poo water still under vanity though...
Go to humane society for cat trap....
Grumpy lady at humane society says they don't have cat traps and sends me to the animal control...
Park at wrong entrance and go adventuring through building...
Took a number....
Get trap...
Go shopping and get cat food and dinner fixings...
Oh dear God, I left the water on the stove on!!!
Hit every red light, don't see smoke in our neighborhood...
Water all gone, pot all burnt, no fire...
Relief...
Visit passive aggressive lady to help with her garbage can...
Fix dinner...
Do umteenth load of laundry...
Visit with company...
Don't drink so look for chocolate....
No chocolate in the house....
Go to bed early...
Thank you God for this day, and although I am exhausted, I am not overwhelmed, and although I did yell at my kidos, it wasn't bad. My house no longer smells of poo and burnt hair, I didn't burn it down, the cat is in the trap awaiting a trip to the humane society (hope it finds a home), and my children all gave me big hugs and kisses and sweet I love you's before bed. My sweetheart sung my praises and gave snuggles and all is well.
What a way to end the year!
