We now interrupt today's regularly scheduled post (don't worry, I'll publish it next week) for this announcement...
But for some insane reason,
I am.
Reason #1: G woke up 40 minutes earlier than normal this morning, meaning I had to wake up 40 minutes earlier than normal this morning... And ended up skipping my shower in the process. So I felt gross to begin with.
Reason #2: As if not showering didn't leave me feeling nasty enough, Ducky puked not once, not twice, but three times in the hour before I left for work. ON THE CARPET. Do you know how hard it is to clean up dog puke from the carpet? Double gross.
Reason #3: G scratched my face as I was changing her (wet, soiled, disgusting) overnight diaper. She managed to cut me so deep that even a healthy dose of foundation and cover-up did not, in fact, cover it up. Well, at least now I actually LOOK like I've been through a combat zone.Reason #4: This one takes the cake. I backed up into the Nanny's car on my way out of the driveway this morning. NICE. We had just been talking about whether or not I should pay her to be on "stand by" for certain days next month. She said no; I said yes (she's way too generous with her time and talents). After this episode, I am most definitely going to be paying her that little extra.
Reason #5: I forgot my key for the back door at work in my other purse, meaning I had to stand at the door to my station and pound on it until someone decided to come let me in. Which they did... Five minutes later, laughing at me for looking so harried.
This all happened before 9:30am.
Feel badly for me. Feel very badly for me. Leave your pity comments below.

Ugh! What a morning!
I *should* be at work today but called off b/c we found a puddle of water in our 2nd bathroom from the roof leaking - so I am waiting for the "fix-it" crew to arrive!
I am your newest follower and a looking forward to Top 3 Thursdays!
Ugh. I hate mornings like that. Hope the day improves (or at least doesn't fall apart even more!)
Oh YUCK! That is NO way to start a morning!!! I hope the rest of the day looks up for you!
Oh gracious! What a bad start to your day!! I hope it gets better!
"I love Dave Ramsey! He has so many good tips, for people of ALL ages. That said, my dad is a CPA and didn't teach me ANYTHING about financial security... but somehow, it rubbed off! So I guess, he did teach by example.
~Elizabeth"
Yes, he is really great! I am really enjoying the course. I am glad that you learned something! haha!
holy cow gf! I'm sorry!! At least you didn't have to sit at the dentist office this morning listening to a certain 3 yr old little boy crying saying it was gonna hurt when asked if they could look at his teeth. He wouldn't let them do anything. I felt like a horrible mom.. i posted about it. http://mhjinich.wordpress.com/2010/02/17/wednesday-2/
hope your day gets better. (((hugs)))
Uh oh. Don't read my post for the day then...cuz you might just decide to hate me.....
I HOPE your day gets better...my fingers and toes are crossed for you!!!
Yes you need a redo!! I hope it gets better!
What a morning girl! You def. should have had a stay at home day.. hope the rest of you day gets better! (you)
CALL IN SICK TOMORROW AND DO THE REDO THEN!
aww im sorry! That does sound like a horrible morning--- you put my pity party that i threw for myself the other day to shame! haha! I hope tomorrow is much much better!
Wow, you had a morning that earns a day in bed. Take that day on Friday so you can at least have a 3 day weekend. Seriously- I feel for ya'. Dog puke, no shower, early wake up call...these are the things that horror stories are made of. Or at least a good country song.
I hate it when I switch purses and all the "stuff" doesn't make it over in the process!
Go home. Shower. Relax. Drink Wine.
I'm sorry about the rough start to your day! Dawson woke up 1 hour early today so I am in the same boat there...2 hours early yesterday, and 4 hours early Monday morning! Fun. I can totally relate to the dog puke issues, too. I have to clean up dog messes every morning too (usually pee "misses" that didn't quite make it onto the puppy pad). That's also why the only carpet we have left in our house is on the stairs. I'd get rid of that too, if the stairs were finished underneath. Yikes about backing into your nanny's vehicle! I hope that's not too costly on you guys!
All before 9:30am? Oh, girl, I hope you can get a drink tonight!
Aw, not a good start...I hope it ends better!
I would have stayed home (well, because I work from home)...but, I might have stayed in the bed a little longer! ;)
I have lots of pity for you; there are few things worse than dog puke.
I am having a pity party for you right now.
Oh no! You definitely need to take tomorrow off :)
I am so sorry. And I think it's contagious. 'Cuz it sure hit at my house, too.
Aww! What a day! Things can only get better!!!
oh girl, i feel ya.
This is my first time here! Hopefully it only gets better from here! :)
Wowzers...what a morning! I would totally send you a box of chocolates if it would help *hugs*
Ever hear of Van Morrison's song "Days Like This"?
Basically it is about a perfect day. I rarely sing that song ie: rarely have a perfect day.
And, I have no idea why dogs long to vomit on carpet and not tile - our dogs will specifically go to the carpet to do it!!! Grrr!
Hope tomorrow is better:-)
I'm sorry you had "one of those mornings"...the good news is that you went to work today instead of staying home...now you can have a treat day of R&R when you choose.
Hope everything gets better soon; it WILL!
Oh my gosh, I certainly hope things turned out better for the afternoon! :) Neosporin makes cuts go away in like 20 seconds on the commercial, right? right....
Don't you feel a migraine coming on and the only way to help that would be to leave work, stop by Starbucks, and then do some retail therapy??? Just a thought.
You definetly should have called off today!!! I hope your day is getting better though :o)
I ams so sorry your Wednesday is going so yucky!
I think the universe was trying to tell you to stay home!!! Hope your day got better!
Holy Shmoly! Definitely enough reasons to just go back to bed!
Wowee! Wednesday is the new Monday? Sorry you had a rough start!
I do feel badly for you! I think I would have called in sick and said I would try again tomorrow. I hate when I have days like that they totally suck.
Ack! Not a good day at all! I PITY YOU!! And I am sending a virtual hug. :-)
BWAHAHA! Man I get it!!
My husband and I own (i think) 10 businesses. Yes, we have a staff of people helping but as anyone knows that owns a business, it comes home with you. Comes home to me and my six daughters.
ONE HOUR of counseling my husband at the end of everyday...NOT optional. He gets credit for all my "great ideas" and I am the one being barfed on :)
I also have a business (Native Honey) and juggle that with all the bumps and bruises. Today I have 5 parent teacher conferences set up...
MAN it's no wonder we are all CRAZY!!
Jeez, will you find something to DO in the morning?! ;)
Hope your day improved. ;)
I'm so sorry :( May tomorrow be a better day :)
Thanks for dropping by that is a bunch of pelicans they just landed out of no where by the board walk.. it was a beautiful day I love living by the water
Ok. You beat me. Your morning was definitely worse than mine. Poor thing!
Do you drink wine? Cause I hear a glass or two or three calling your name tonight.
I really wish I could, but J's actions will cause you to pity me...
Worked late, so I barely was able to spend time with J.
Proceeded to tease me with falling asleep by 7. I shower, get out & find him crying on DH's shoulder.
Back to bed. Asleep. Whew.
9PM - DH decides now is the time for him to shower
9:15 - DH tells me how he HAS to watch Men's Olympic Figure Skating, b/c you know it only happens once every four years. And J is only 2, so obviously I'm not that fertility challenged.
10 - I'm starting to contemplate how much I will hate my alarm at 4AM
11 - Figure skating done - whew... Starts sniffing around me...
11:10 - J wakes up & is up for the remainder of the night due to, TTC #2 - he sniffed it. Decided sleeping was best method of pervention, ignoring my love of being fertility challenged in the first place
1:45 - I fall asleep
4 - alarm, move J to his bed
4:01 - try to calm screaming child
4:15 - give up & shower
4:30 - random "Mommy"
5 - leave for work with child still screaming - "Hello, Mommy" then becoming very tearful when I had to leave...
I'll trade you 3x's puke of a small dog + backing into employee's car for that... I'll even let you keep that scratch in the spirit of letting you win hands down.
:)
Seriously - smile... it could have been worse... Hugs!
Pick up a bottle of wine on your way home and a pizza and when you get home slip into some cozy pants, your slippers, pour yourself a glass of wine and avoid the vomit stain and just relax!
aw, you poor dear
i guess the good part was g woke you up early so that you had enough time to clean up the dog vomit x3
i didn't get a shower either
i'm gross with you today
fortunately i haven't hit any cars yet...fingers crossed, i still have to get home
OH CRAP! That is what I like to call a Tsunami morning!!!
I feel tons of pity for you...seriously tons and tons because its those kind of days that takes days to recover from!
UGH, one of those days where you should have just stayed in bed all day! I hope the rest of your day is better!
Hi I'm new to blogging, yours is so fun! Sounds like a do-over morning for sure! My daughter got up, turned her light on and decided to wake me up to play for the day at THREE-THIRTY am - seriously?!?! Took me till 4:45 to convince her to sleep again, made my 5:45 alarm WAY too early... ugh! Hope the rest of your day was better!
Dog puke. Ew.
This was one of those mornings that you just crawl back under the covers!
Poor poor poor poor baby! :( (feel better after the pitty?)
well I hope your day has gotten better!
Oh girl, I would have called in sick! My cat likes to puke on the carpet, too, so I feel your pain!
You get mega-props for even going to work, because I'm pretty sure I would have called in sick! You deserve a hot bath and a massage, tell hubby to get on it! :-)
Dogs - they pick the worst time don't they? Dog puke is the worst to clean up. I am hoping you have a better night, at least you made it through the day.
Wow that is a load of a morning. I hope things improved later.
My Hubby is looking at me wondering why I am laughing hysterically at the computer! You crack me up! So sorry you had a bad day. It will be better tomorrow.
I would of walked back into the house crying. You poor thing, sounds like a tough one. Hope it got better after 9:30.
Without question, you should have marched right back into the house and curled up in your bed. The stars were stacked against you. Can't fight that!
Sounds like you had quite a morning! Hope your day got better as it went on... :) Something to make you feel better - One morning I started to back out of our garage and totally bashed it in because I forgot to open it. Had to get a new garage door and some work done on our car. :-/
Ugh. I feel like I have at least one day a week like that...and I only go in to my office three days a week! Hope you felt proud of yourself and like a superwoman for handling it all and getting to work...because you are!!
I feel your pain!
Been there...way to many times!
It's a sign. GO HOME RIGHT NOW!
But keep paying Nanny so you can get some much needed rest and relaxation!
I am a day late on this.
I'm hoping your day turned out better!
I got to work having tried to cover up a giant pimple in between my eyes that made my right eye a bit puffy from zit seepage. And a coworker shouted "oh my god what happened to you?"
I know. And I don't even know how to drink alcohol to make myself feel better.
Oh my. I hope the rest of your day went better and today too.
I got stuck in my driveaway the other day and just when I was about to give up and call my husband to push, hitting the gas worked and off I went across the street skidding into a parked car. No real damage, but now we have to fork out money to pay for the small dent. Frustrating!
You have my sympathy..I'm late on commenting but do hope your day got better.
Saludos,
A Mexican mommy living in Europe
aaaawwww...!
I'm late with the commenting, but I'm trying to catch up.
I hope it's been better since then!!
I've had those kind of mornings!
It all makes it worse when you haven't showered, doesn't it? I never feel great when I don't shower.
