I HAD A BAD DAY...




Good gracious, yesterday was absolutely horrible... it was just one thing after the other...
First I found out that our cell phone bill was $400 again this month - which just really ticks me off. I know my hubby needs it for his work, but he isn't reimbursed for it, and all of his drivers are signed up with all different providers, and of course, he's on the phone with them during work hours, so no free minutes... I just get so angry over that stupid phone bill. Then I realized that I'm $200 short to pay all the bills this month - probably cause of the stinking phone bill... then I get a call from a bill collector from a debt like 3 yrs ago - I'm trying to make payment arrangements with the lady, and tell her that I can't make any payments in May (since I just found out I'm short this month anyway) she gets really tacky with me and just transfers me to someone else.... so when I got the other person, I asked why I was transferred when I was trying to make payment arrangements, and the guy has the audacity to tell me that he tells them to "transfer everyone to him that causes trouble" - I came UNGLUED all over the guy - I said I was NOT causing trouble, I'm trying to work out some payments with them... O I was so mad....
Last night was Shelby's school program (she was one of the main characters, I was so proud of her) and I was running late - I got my paycheck, but the bank conveniently closes at 4:00 - what the heck?? so I had to go deposit it to the ATM - at which point I learned that they decided to place a hold on half my check - why do they place a hold on some, but not all?? that's just enough to make you mad... so I get home, and had a letter in the mail from the IRS which said that we owed $3800 in taxes!!! WHAT?!?! we use the same CPA that does the books for Dewayne's dad, and the mistake was with his earnings.. They have us down as making $100,000 together - yeah right, I wish!!! I could use an extra $30,000 - but I don't want to pay taxes on it if we didn't make it... so get inside, I'm already late, but I knew that my memory card was full in the camera, so I needed to download pics real quick - tore the desk up cause I couldn't find my cord, come to find out today, my brother has it... so I had to delete pics off of it that I might have kept otherwise, but I had to pick some that had to go just to have pics of her program... AAAGGGHHH!!! By this point, I'm flaming, and since I was running late, there were NO seats left. we had to stand. For the first song I couldn't even see her, but then she was in the middle of the stage the rest of the night. The play was sooo cute that I had really settled down by the time I got home, and then my bad day picked right back up where we left off... I had laid out backstrap to fix with rice and gravy - well, I didn't check to see if I had any gravy, I just thought I did - then I found out I didnt... so we'll have meat and rice - no gravy... I got the water boiling, got some carrots out to steam... went back to the stove, poured the rice in the water, and stirred a little, when I noticed little black things coming to the top of the water - they were BUGS!!! little black bugs, just a little bigger than ants... I've never seen them before, they kinda look like beetles... I was furious... I poured out the rice, started some more water boiling... and went to get another bag of rice... I checked this bag first, and they were in that bag too!!! now I'm really mad.... so I'm checking all my food in the pantry - I never did see any bugs anywhere else - but I guess I'll have to call the exterminator... that was sick... so I got down a bag of uncle ben's rice that you steam in the microwave, but I was so flustered, that I forgot to tear the bag so it could vent, and about half way thru the cook time it just exploded all over the microwave... so 3 bags of rice later, and no gravy, I just chunked it, during all this time, I burned the meat - so I just gave up and went to take a bath... I guess I'm fortunate that my hubby turned off the stove and fed the kids - cause I left it all like it was.... I kept telling myself, I'll just take a bath, go to bed and when I wake up, it will all be better - and sure enough it was...
I've been hoping for a hummingbird to come to the house for 3 yrs now - I have planted everything I know to plant that attracts them - and have NEVER seen one, but there was one in the garden this morning, the kids ran inside to get me, so me and Sarah went out to see it - she's so cute, she can't say 'HUMMINGBIRD' - it comes out "HINEY-BIRD" lol. I don't know why we have bad days, but we get thru them and move on and everything looks better in the morning (except the IRS bill - lol)
