You Know You've Had A Tough Week When....

You are driving down the street, see an airplane at a weird angle, and think UFO, then the very next thought is " maybe I am about to be abducted and experimented on" and that doesn't seem :

1)outside of the realm of possibilities for your week

2)like too bad of an idea

Let's be clear, this is not whining. This is a factual retelling of some of the events that occurred in my life this week.

My sis took Ev for two nights. Great. Except that during the time that she was gone, I had diarrhea for one whole afternoon, Leslie had to work late on one of the nights, I had 8 hours of class the next day. One night, my sleep (and Leslie's) was interrupted (by interrupted I mean that there was a total of 60 minutes of sleep) by "Michal Weirdness". I had a constant low level of anxiety.

• I have been pulled over by the world's tiniest mean man cop and got a ticket for $150.


• I have had the tread on our truck tire separate. While I was on the highway, on wet pavement.


• I have had the pleasure of paying a tad over $700 for new tires on the truck.


• I have left the house to get to the store only to realize that my wallet was at home.


• I have been caught in a torrential downpour that lasted, I kid you not, only from the time that I walked out of the store until I was safely in the truck.


• I have had a man, huddle his daughter and shepard her around me as if I was the Devil Herself because I let a "shit!" fly when I dropped a bag of my groceries in a huge rain puddle.


• I have yelled the following at that same man, "it's okay I talk like that around MY daughter" before I realized that would only make him feel justified in his actions.


• I have handled my daughter wrong, from the time I walked into my sister's house to get her, culminating is a spectacular loss of temper.


• I have consistently stubbed my toe on the same corner of the desk- each and every time I sit down at the computer.


• I have had my blood drawn for my Physical. The phlebotomist was new. And creepy. A new and creepy phlebotomist that kept trying to force eye contact with me, while missing my vein.


• My cat is pouting at me for yelling at Evelyn.


• I accidentally ate a slice of pizza tonight, thus sending my Weight Watchers points to hell.


• I followed the pizza up with a coupla cookies - because well, why not.


• Swine Flu.
• For some reason even the movie geek guy at Block*buster was giving me the cold shoulder-man that was rough.
• We came home real late last night to make sure to get Ev in for a make-up Gymnastics class and the teacher was out sick- so no G class at all this week.
• I have had the waitress at a Cleveland landmark deli, openly question my fashion choice.

See? It's not just me right? I mean it is me, but I am not nutso in thinking "man this has been a helluva week" Right?

By the way, I am currently avoiding my husband because I lost it with my daughter tonight and I am just ashamed and chagrined and I don't really want any advice or talking. I just want to pretend like I am the greatest Mom on this planet and I DID NOT yell at my girl.
