Good for a Laugh

Have you ever just had one of "those" days? Not so much the ones that are terrible, horrible, no good, or very bad. Just that kind of day that makes you confused as to whether it was more frustrating or more hilarious. One of those "I think I should maybe stay home and not move or it could get worse" kind of day, where you are SOOO tempted to go out and tempt fate just to see if it could maybe get more hilarious.

That was my morning. from 8:23am when I first discovered the rotten milk, to 11:01am when I finally returned from Walmart...where I'd gone to purchase new, not-rotten milk. Let me start at the beginning...and try to make it short.

Wednesday AM: Luke drinks a big glass of milk.
Wednesday PM: Bethany gets a gallon of milk out of the freezer, realizing if she doesn't she will have to go to the store and get milk on Thursday. She doesn't want to go til Friday when she can combine it with other errands.

Thursday:
8am: Kaden wakes up, "wet, pants, cold." Sure enough, he'd peed through. Changed him and all was well again.
8:23am: Pour Kaden his milk (from jug that had thawed overnight) and see lumps. Could be frozen lumps, or is it bad???? Bethany tastes to see.
8:23am: Bethany spits and spits and spits..milk is BAD. Eats cookie to make taste go away. (so much for weight watchers today.)
8:46am-11:01am: Bethany heads out on unplanned trip to Walmart for milk.
Has gift card for starbucks, but starbucks line is out to the road.
Heads for Smiths instead.
Gets ad, buys milk on sale for $2 a gallon.
Gets charged $2.30 a gallon but realizes too late and isn't going to drag kids back in for 30 cents.
Heads back to Starbucks. This time makes it through the line and gets an iced white chocolate mocha.
YUM.
Comes home to put milk in fridge...wouldn't want to risk it going bad. should have stayed home. instead, decides that since kids are loaded, might as well run errands.
Heads to Kmart, since we're out anyway.
Forgets Mocha in the car, and doesn't want to drag both kids back out of store to get it.
Finds many many girl shoes on clearance, no boy shoes. of course.
Buys desk organizer and heads out to car.
Finds that Kaden has peed through.
Changes Kaden in front seat of car, which, he does NOT fit well in. Kaden gets grumpy.
Heads to Walmart since we're out.
forgets mocha in car again.
Finds the planter she wants and heads to get potting soil.
Then goes to get groceries.
Picks up "thin buns" (100 cal buns...awesome!) and random lady says "NO" and takes them from me.
AWKWARD.
Sell by date seemed fine...Aug 14th...but she shows me it is completely moldy.
THanks lady and moves on, deciding not...NOT...to buy anything fresh..it just seems risky after the milk and buns....
Finishes shopping and goes to pay.
Debit card won't go.
3 times.
Cashier says it is expired. Dang it! I thought i'd replaced it with the new card. Must have cut up the new card.
PRAYS she has credit card. Does. and pays.
after paying realizes she has just purchased "garden soil" not potting soil.
GRRR.
Returns "garden soil" and goes to "potting soil aisle" again.
among 16 stands of "potting soil" i chose the ONE "garden soil" bag. At least I caught it right?
gets POTTING SOIL and pays.
Realizes she never got cash back from returning "garden soil"
heads back to customer service.
Realizes it was on credit card and probably just credited back.
WHEW. glad I didn't talk to the customer service lady.
heads out to car.
backing out...car races around the corner and tries to hit me.
narrow miss.
WHEW.
refuses to drink remaining 1/3 of mocha...after this day, who knows, it could have gone bad that fast.
decides she must call friend to tell her about her day.
can't find phone.
ANYWHERE.
pulls into parking lot at ACE.
SEARCHES.
finally finds phone in pot she just bought.
just glad she didn't have to go back to the "potting soil" aisle to look. that was where she had seen it last...
calls friend.
Makes it home safely (she was beginning to wonder!)
hubby calls to say he can't make it home for lunch.
figures.
He will come home to grab a sandwhich tho.
Kaden throws fit since we didn't go to the park
kate is crying for a feeding.
Bethany realizes she forgot to buy lunch meat.
there are no leftovers.
quickly feeds Kate.
Makes peanut butter and jelly sandwhichs for Hubby.
POOR HUBBY!
Checks Mail.
The Kohls 30% off offer ends 2 days before she's going to Rapid.
Heads back out to second hand store where she'd seen the same pot as at walmart for $13 cheaper.
Not there anymore.
Comes home to eat.
Feeds Kaden.
Is just about to eat left over mashed potatoes when she discovers mold.
THey are only 3 days old!
Feels mold growing on her teeth just from SEEING so much rotten food.

End time: 12:01pm.

If Luke hadn't drank that milk......

He says i can make everything his fault. I'm just presenting facts.

It's now 1:15pm and I hear my boy talking to himself...avoiding sleep for his nap. It's ok, at least he's in bed and not time out. and we are home. Soda is in the freezer (lets just admit, this is a soda kind of day) Hope I don't forget it and let it explode!

Luke says he MIGHT get off early. Not hanging on to hope on this kind of day!!!!

All in all I just keep laughing. Really? I think I better just take it easy this afternoon...I think i'll do some looking on internet at room decor...I'm leaning in the burnt orange, espresso, and cream colors. Ideas accepted.
