Today hasn't been a bad day, but it has been a ridiculous day.
If I told you how many times today I've said "this is not a good time to take off your clothes" and "please put your tongue back in your mouth", you'd probably think my life was far more exciting than it actually is.
I also think it's amusing how many little things preschool requires. Today, my son needed something for show in tell, a picture of something that starts with the letter "C" and it was our turn to bring in snack for his class of 15. This is also the day he stays late for an extra class so I needed to pack him a lunch. I know none of things are hard by themselves, but it gets a little out of hand when they all stack up.
I had a 1-5pm window for a plumber to show up this afternoon to fix a slow leak on the hot water pipe leading to a sink in a bathroom. This was also the morning when I happened to host a coffee for some neighborhood moms so there were about a dozen extra bodies in my house when the plumber showed up well before expected at 11 am. (The company did call to check if I was home, but I wasn't about to say no and risk the plumber going MIA.)
Turns out the main cutout valve that shuts off the water supply to the whole house was also leaking and covered in rust. Add in a few more minor things and the bill was almost $900. I am grateful that we discovered that the cutoff valve needed replaced before something was flooding our house with no way to stop it, but it wasn't exactly part of the plan for the day.
I'm looking forward to curling up on the couch with my husband today and having a glass of wine.
Anybody else have a ridiculous day?
I'm thankful that tomorrow is Friday and we have nothing planned!

I've had days like this, not today, but I can relate. I like the glass of wine idea. Why not a couple glasses of wine.
Have a terrific day. :)
I'm glad that the plumbing got sorted. All those things are little while on their own, but they sure do stack up.
Nothing like yours but mine was annoying....and filled with annoying phone calls from ridiculous sisters of mine...driving me to drink...pour me a glass too!
Oh, I remember when my kids were small! *Every* day was a ridiculous day. I am giving you a big hunk of sympathy. It does get better though. My kids are now teenagers and I no longer have to tell them it is not a good time to take off their clothes. They take care of their own snacks and lunches and homework.
It is exhausting being a mom of little once. Hang in there. Enjoy your glass of wine because it all starts again tomorrow.

Tomorrow is another day... sometimes I look back at the crazy things that happened in the week and only smile... I am sure that you will remember those ridiculous moments and laugh about them... however, everyone needs a break and I hope that tomorrow is a lovely day for you.
Ridiculous AND expensive!! But consider a potential disaster averted!
Bleh, your day does sound tough. I'm right here with you, don't worry. Packing snacks and lunches every day, picking up kids at two separate times, driving G to vision and speech therapy... it gets hard to remember what we're doing when. Oh, and we've recently added daily 3.5hr round trips to drive our dog to Tampa for radiation. Wow, I sound like a whiny mess. Sorry!
