Today has just been one of those days. The kind of day where everything seems to go wrong. Actually, more than everything going wrong, I guess it's my inability to cope with all the little things that go wrong.
So waking up to last night's dishes (I was out at book club last night) put me in a foul mood. Then I discovered that the ziploc containing sliced apples and pineapple juice that I dropped on the counter when I got home late last night had a leak and there was super-sticky pineapple juice everywhere. I was in a hurry to get the kids off to school, so I didn't bother to put on shoes, not realizing that the ground was very soggy. I love socks, but definitely not soggy ones. Eva tried to open the pantry and the whole pantry door fell off! Now the contents of the pantry are exposed and she is pulling out snacks incessantly. (If she would actually eat those snacks, I wouldn't mind so much...) My vacuum is in being repaired and the dog hair is driving me mad. Marc is feeling sick and I'm doing bedtime duty solo tonight.
See, it's nothing big. Just a lot of little annoyances all adding up to a big wish that this day would end already so I can start over.
**OK, so my period started -- mystery solved!! (You'd think that after 20+ years of this, I'd finally figure it out...)

Amen to this blah of a day for you and hopefully your evening is full of refreshment and relaxation...soggy socks? Agh!
right there with you- please, let this day end! even after a great girls night last night, I totally wish we had another one tonight!
I'm agitated just reading about those messes. You shouldn't have to come home to dirty dishes, that's just not right.
I feel the same way tonight. Not amused. My class didn't go as well as I hoped and I am still waiting to find my great collaberator. haha
I often feel that way, like I can handle a true crisis, but the little things make me come unglued...
Period or no, all those things would add up to blah (or more than blah) for me! I hope tomorrow is a brighter day!
Love the edit! This happens to me almost every month, like I almost forget its coming. How can that be?
Really a day like that just needs to end quickly and silently! I hope no dirty dishes in the morning.
reading this and hoping that your Friday is a welcomed friend and that your "visitor" doesn't ruin your day! :)
(and I am there with you on the "duh" train when it finally hits and I realize that is why I am annoyed so easily!!)
Totally blah indeed- the soggy sock thing would have turned me foul from the start. Hope today is better.
Blah doesn't seem like a strong enough word for your day. Sticky anything makes me grouchy. (I tend to think I am blah when I just don't do much of anything, grouchy when I have to do lots of things I shouldn't have to....)
I hope your vacuum gets fixed soon. If not call me, I make emergency calls.
It's Friday now, aren't all Fridays good at your house?!
PS - I have no idea how I was 3 days behind on your blog...this week has gone SO fast.
I have many of “ONE OF THOSE DAYS." Chocolate always makes it better :)
I hope you have a better Friday.
I completely understand those blah days--sometimes things just are blah. I'm sorry it was such a bummer of a day. At least you have conference to look forward to--that's always good for combatting the blahs and PMS :) I hope your weekend goes better!
OK OK So now I know who's cycle I am on, thanks girl--five days early for me!
Yep that's my problem and would also love just to have a fresh start.
Sorry that is a blah day little things can add up real fast.
That happens to me all the time. When I go, oh, no wonder.
I really need to get a fridge lock so my son doesn't have open access to all food.
I'm glad I'm not the only one who can't seem to figure out why I'm "in a mood" until the day "Aunt Flo" shows up. She comes the same time every month but she's really not my favorite guest, so I think I try to pretend like she's not coming after all. I saw on Jill's blog that you got to get your hair done and have Creative Friday today, hope that helped the blah's!
I'm always relieved to find a simple reason for such days. Hope tomorrow is better :)
Not that big? NOT THAT BIG? Day-old pineapple juice on your floor and squishing between your toes in wet socks? That's big.
