GRRRRRR..................

All I can say about today is GRRRRR!!!!!!!!! The day started off well enough. I was able to get Catie to school on time and report to Karen's. Max was in a pleasant enough mood and Charlie slept most of the morning. It was going well.

I got home around 1:00 after getting Chas's paycheck and going to the bank. Max laid down for his nap, Kristen watched TV while I took a shower, and Charlie slept in his car seat upstairs. I got ready in 20 minutes flat (love the new hair!) and waited for Karen to get Kristen.

Karen came to get Kristen and sat with Max until Chas got home and I ran out the door with Charlie to the bus stop to get Catie. We headed over to the doctor and Catie had her stitches removed and Charlie got diagnosed with Rosieola (sp?). Still not too bad until my phone died. It will not hold a charge and for Chas paid for it, I should be able to talk on it all day and not have it die by 3:00 in the afternoon. The thing that really pissed me off was that I barely talked on it all day. After we left the Dr I dropped the kids off at home and headed over to Verizon Wireless to get the phone fixed. That is when the trouble started. They replaced the phone and I am now waiting to get the new one. I leave with my spirits high and get in my van to go home. I put the key in the ignition and turn it and......................nothing. It was dead. I wasn't in the store but 20 minutes. I called Chas and he comes up to jump start it and it still doesn't start. It appears to be the starter. Long story short we had it towed to our mechanic who can't get to it until Saturday and now we are sharing 1 car. Thank God Chas is off work tomorrow.

Charlie is screaming, Catie is mad because the pool is closed and she can't go swimming after having her stitches out, and Max is melting down faster than a candle in a hot room. I suppose it is time to get off here and go back to the reality that is our life. It all seems crazy today but tomorrow it won't seem so bad. I hope.
