Please some one make the madness stop

So I started out the day thinking today will be a great day. I will finish my Christmas shopping, get my work done early, get the house picked up, and get to the gym. Well this is how my day went Cade and Cal fighting all morning, Aaron calling me to let me know the check engine light went on in his car and we need to get it in asap, going to shopko and picking up some boxes to wrap presents in for 5.99 a pack only to go to the dollar store next to see a 3 pack of boxes for 1.00.

Then went to pick the kids up from school and some old feller backed into me. It did way more damage to his car than it did to mine but nevertheless I still have to take it into the shop to be fixed. And the dude tried to tell me that since it was in a parking lot we would each pay for the damage to our own cars but believe me I set him completely straight by tell him I was sitting there in park when he backed into me so it was completely his fault and he is responsible to pay for my damages.

Then come home and the neighbors come over and I am on the phone with the insurance companies trying to get the claim for the car called in so basically ignoring the kids to come down stairs 1 hour later to find PEN again on 3 spots on the wall (thanks so much Cal), laffy taffy wrappers everywhere (wont mention who ate all of these), and toys everywhere. So I make all who is at my house clean up the mess they have made. On my way home from my moms and Aaron calls to let me know the dishwasher is leaking water everywhere and he has no idea how to fix it so we will need to call for that to be repaired in the morning (Since Aaron is the kitchen guy you can imagine how much he needs/wants that dishwasher fixed.)

Then off to Coles game to have his team totally lose and have him balling that he didn't score a basket and this is the very last b-ball game (thank heavens for that) and here I sit with 2 more hours of work still to go, a disaster of a house, and for sure there is no chance that I get to the gym. Where the hell did I go wrong today? I am waiving my white flag for today!! I surrender!!!

I'm glad to see that other people have crazy, horrible days!! Sometimes I think I'm the only one that doesn't have it all together. Sorry you had a rough day, hopefully things will turn around!! If you ever need to get rid of your boys, send them to my house. Ryker would love to play.
