Thirty seconds later, I hear “You scared me, mommy.” From
the backseat. Great. I offered an apology and explained that I was just mad
that the driver was making the road unsafe but my oldest went off to school
looking slightly dejected and I left feeling like a major jerk. Still in a dour
mood, I headed to the grocery store pharmacy to grab my youngest daughter’s
seizure meds. I called the prescription in three days prior because this
pharmacy is known for never having it ready by the next day. Ever. When I went
to get it they informed me that hadn’t filled it and acted like I was a bozo
because I “tried” to use the phone system. Tried? I've been doing this for
months, pretty sure I know how to operate a phone.
So we waited. We waited twenty-five minutes because there were other
customers they had to “take care of first.” Lovely. While we waited, I talked
to a manager who informed me he was working on it. I’m not the only person
tired of the runaround apparently. By the time I got home from what should have
been a 30 minute trip, an hour and a half later, I was exhausted. But I still had to get my youngest daughter cleaned up and down to
the bus stop.
After she got on the bus, I left to go get a small fry from McDonald’s because
honestly, I stress eat. And fries sounded yummy (don't act like you don't do it
too!). I tossed the bag on the seat and turned out of the parking lot and the
ENTIRE bag tipped upside down, dumping my fries everywhere. Really?
I am just out of sorts today. I'm cranky and on edge and I
just cannot figure out why. I don't really have time to be this cranky because
I have a million things to get done today. This week has been one heckuva week. This morning after the grocery store debacle, I was crying because I couldn't find my phone. I thought I'd left it at the store and was in a slight panic. My daughter came up and put her hand on my cheek, "Are you crying again mommy." Yes. Yes I am.
Is there a reset button, anywhere?
