Seriously, you can't make this stuff up.....

If you've ever had a day where you think that nothing can possibly go right you're going to LOVE this... my Wednesday was such a bad day that when I woke up today I really did NOT want to get out of my bed.  Here's how it all went downhill!

The day started out pretty well, my husband was up before me and had the coffee ready when I got out of the shower... what a good man!  The kids and I were on schedule and headed out the door to find a FLAT tire.  Now I'm a home grown Idaho farm girl, a flat tire doesn't scare me at all.  It wasn't quite as flat as this picture I've inserted, had it been I do know how to change a tire... thankfully I only had to drive down to our shop to air it up.

Here comes problem #2.  In our shop, it doesn't seem to matter who uses the air compressor, it never gets shut off, so there is always air built up.  This means that if there is anything connected to the coupler (that's the slider thing at the end of the hose that allows you to connect different attachments) you better be holding on to it very tightly because the second you release the coupler it's going to go flying.  Once again, being a home grown farm girl this is all stuff I know.  For whatever reason... slick hands, no grip at my ripe old age of 30, or karma..... my grip was not good enough.  The coupler had a larger coupler attachment hooked in and it came flying out right to my foot at 250+PSI.  I'm pretty sure that my toe is broken!  Powering through and not wanting to be late to work I get the tire aired up and drive up the street to the school.

The day went on without any major problems.... until I'm walking down the hall on my way to pick up my 3rd and 4th grade PE class.  A student came out of the classroom not looking so well, I'm about to ask if he's okay when the poor kid pukes in the hallway, close to but thankfully not on me.  All I can think is that he must feel just awful.  As he runs in the bathroom I go to tell the teacher what has happened, unfortunately she already knows because it happened in the classroom as well.  So I take the kids to PE and the day continues to go on.

The end of the day comes and my kids are headed to their after school Catholic class, which means I'm headed home to actually catch up on homework!  What an idea huh, being caught up?!?  Yah... insert problem #4.... while loading the kids backpacks and my bag into the car I managed to hit the lock button and lock my keys in my car!  My car and house keys, my cell phone, my work keys, my laptop and iPad all locked in the car.  So I go back into the building to call that wonderful husband that made me coffee this morning to ask for his spare car key.  He has it on him and big bonus, he's seeding in a field that is only a few miles from town!  So I borrow my mom's car and head out to pick up the key.  I return to the school parking lot thinking things are going to be okay, I'll unlock my door and head home and still have some time to get a few things done before picking the kids up.  Nope, problem #5.... Scott's key will NOT unlock the doors, it won't even turn in the drivers side door.  SERIOUSLY!  I'm not making this up.  Wow!

At this point I'm ready to just sit down and cry.  So I walk back into the building and ask my mom to give me a ride.  She offers to call AAA and have them send someone to unlock the door for me.  On any normal given day this would be perfectly fine.  On this specific Wednesday however, I not only need to get the kids from their after school class, but I need to get my son to his pee-wee football game.  Knowing this my mom also offers to let me take her car.  So things are going to be okay... we'll get there one way or another.  On the way to the football game my toe is throbbing so bad that I think I'm going to cry.  I want to look at it, but with all that has gone wrong already in the day I'm afraid to take off my shoe.  The kids win their football game 50-0 and it's cold enough that my toe is now numb, time to go home.

I get back to my mom's house to find that the locksmith was finally able to unlock my car, YEAH!  So the kids and I head home.  It's already an hour past their bed time and they're exhausted so they quickly wash, brush teeth, change and hop in bed.  Things are finally starting to look up.  So with the kids tucked in and my husband on his way home I decide that I'm deserving of a glass of wine.  I've been saving this wonderful bottle of a carbonated burgundy wine that my mother-in-law orders from New York and gifted to me when I turned 30 this summer.  I get the bottle out, open it and turn around to get a wine glass out of the cupboard.  I turn back around to see that the wine is completely fizzing out of the top of the bottle and all over the counter.... SERIOUSLY!!

At this point I drop my head and walk away, I don't even attempt to clean up the mess.  My husband comes home, sees the mess and goes looking for me.  He finds me laying on the couch with a look of complete defeat!  Foot elevated with a bag of ice on my toes.  After hearing about my unbelievable day he goes into the kitchen, cleans up the fizzy wine mess and pours me a glass.  Okay so now the seriously is a good one, SERIOUSLY what would I do without this man?!?

I've lost count of how many things went wrong so let's add one more thing to the list.... at some point during the day I also managed to chip my front tooth.  I don't know when or how but I do know it's chipped!  So here's to a better day.... broken toe and all!  Enjoy the laughs it's okay, I'm laughing now too! :)
