I had a very cruddy day today.
I had an asthma attack. Not one that quickly went away. One that hurt, and lingered, and took a lot of meds to get back to normal. Then I got to spend the rest of the day recovering from all the meds. Shaky, cranky, wheezy me.
Jonny was okay for a while, but he's 4, so he had his moments. I was not allowed to stay in bed all day, there were games to play and movies to watch. Yes, I turn to the almighty television in times like these.
Go ahead and judge.
Then Sydney came home, and we had some family fun before we all had to rush off for Princess' poms practice.
Of course, while running a few essential errands before practice, the kids decided to act like complete animals. They continued this display of utter madness in the car on the short drive to the practice field.
I remember yelling at the kids to get out of the car, keep their hand to themselves, and get Princess down to field before I said anything else unpleasant.
The rest of the hour was a blur of chatter gossip, and trying to keep Jonny entertained and away from the port o potties.
I did not realize I left my keys in the car, with the lights on, until it was time to go home and my battery was dead. Perfect,
A very nice dad helped jump my car. Of course during all this craziness my kids decide to completely leave my sight, which was also very helpful to my state of mind. Not really, but in retrospect it probably was best for my temper. I recruited a mom to watch them so they weren't completely unattended.
So I tried really hard not to cry, and I succeeded. Until I got home and I got a gluten free beer, and had a little sniffle.
Then my awesome husband came home and heard me gripe.
He was patient. He was understanding.
Then he said, "you know why this all happened, don't you?"
"NO I don't, please enlighten me"
"Cotton Underpants"
"Scuse me?"
"Seriously, when was the lace time you wore a lacy bra or underpants? I bet this wouldn't happen if you were wearing fancy pants."
"Thanks so much, baby. I have no idea how I would get through the day without you."
"I love you. Tomorrow is a new day"
Guess what I'm wearing tomorrow, just in case.
