Disaster Weekend

 Have you ever had one of those days when everything goes wrong? Well, I had an entire weekend! Join me for a recount of Nicki's 'It's A Wonderful Life'....

FRIDAY...


1. All ready for my 'yearly physical', I waited a month to get, just walking out the door when the clinic calls to cancel and reschedule. Grrr. I could have slept in!

2.  The tax software I paid $50.00 for is corrupt, and now my taxes are ALL messed up, have to bring them in - spend $100.00 more to try to get them fixed. Grrr.

3. Dog chews up 2 dirt bike helmets.


4. Dog chews up something full of cotton because it's all over the yard.

SATURDAY......

1. Work, which is a bad enough weekend in and of itself - even without any mishaps.

2. Drive 25 miles (one way) to buy trampoline from a 'Craigslist want ad' I posted. When I get there it was already sold. Grrr.

3. Get home from 50 mile, useless, drive to find another voicemail answering a different 'want ad' I posted about horse fence panels. Would you believe it was from the same place I JUST LEFT!

4. Back on road to buy horse panels. The guy assures me they will fit on luggage rack on top of my Durango. He and his friend load them up. They hang, like, 4 ft. off the front and back! I hear… snap! SNAP! HE HAS BROKEN MY LUGGAGE RACK! Now I have to borrow a trailer and come, AGAIN, tomorrow.

5. Get home. The kids are starving so I spend an hour cooking dinner.

6. Something stinks! I take out garbage, realize something leaked out of the bag, after I step in a STINKY puddle of goo! Gross!

7. Before I am able to clean it up… Micah steps in the stinky puddle of goo.

8. Jonah steps in the stinky puddle of goo.

9. Asher does a does a major WIPE-OUT in the stinky puddle of goo.

10. After my terrible day I have to clean up the stinky puddle of goo. Gross!

SUNDAY...

1. Up at 4:30 a.m. for another day at work.
 
2. Look in mirror in bathroom – see a BIG black spider on my NECK! Freak-out.

3. Hook-up for my lights doesn't work on my van. (I borrowed my friends 3 horse trailer to pick up horse panels) Guess I'll be going without lights/signals.

4. Stomach ache because trailer is weaving all over behind me and it's scary. Have to drive 50 mph the whole way there!

5. Have to park on road because I don't know how to back-up a trailer, which means we have to carry heavy duty fence panels all the way to the trailer.

6. I arrive as scheduled, but surprise, surprise, nobody is home! I have to haul the panels myself!

7. Pick up one of the, 16 foot, HEAVY DUTY fence panels, drag it all the way across the yard, down the driveway, and try hoisting it up into trailer.

8. They don’t fit! They’re too long! I can’t shut the door! GRRR!

9. Can’t find any rope, twine or bungie anywhere to tie the trailer door shut.

10. Unload the heavy panels at home in a friggin', freezin' WIND STORM.

11. Everyone is starving - cook dinner.

13. Dog eats whole pack of dinner rolls I had next to the grill - waiting to go on. GRR!

12. Dog throws-up on floor.

MONDAY...

1.  Awake thinking I really shouldn't have spent all that money on fence panels, all the gas driving there 3 TIMES, aannnd a broken luggage rack! Then...  I realize we forgot to go to our 'Financial Peace University' class last night that we paid $100.00 for! GRRRR! (as you can tell - I really need to be at THAT CLASS! lol)

2. Dog chews up 2 big swimming noodles in tiny peices all over the yard.

3. Jimmer informed me the trailer was weaving all over because the back tires on the van were flat, otherwise I would have had a nice ride.
