okay.
i had the most un-lucky day ever yesterday. okay. maybe not ever. but here's how it goes:
7:05 - wake up
{snowing outside}
7:10 - woke phoebe up.
got her breakfast
7:30 - i notice the note on the table that says "Windward School is closed today."
(yay. that's phoebe's school.)
8:00 - 2:00 - Noah got up. Went to school. me and phoebe watched a couple hannah montana and icarly episodes. sat around.
10:40 - Lynn(boss) got home from the gym. brought noah and his friend ethan for early release from school.
12:00 - did some laundry.
1:00 - started making lunch.
2:00 - asked permission to go to the gym.
2:10 - elizabeth(nanny friend) picked me up. went to the bank. went to target. hit up the gym. {that's right fools. i'm getting ripped}
3:30 - text from Lynn "i was wondering when you were coming home."
4:10 - text from Lynn "what's your time frame on today? should i give the kids a snack and then we can eat dinner late? will you be much longer?"
4:15 - text from Lynn "could you get some clementine's from the store?"
4:20 - text from Lynn, "hi, are you coming back soon?"
4:25 - text from Lynn, "hi, marc is getting home at 5. i was thinking we could have dinner early tonight. can you let me know when you'll be home?"
{at this point i was still at the gym, and hadn't checked my phone. i was getting worried though that she'd be mad about how long i'd been gone. so i went and checked my phone saw the listed texts. oh bones. i almost flipped a bi fit. i still had to go to the store and make dinner. yikes!}
4:30 - stop n' shop. {the only grocery stores they have in these parts} did my shoppin. and got the beep out of there.
5:10 - got home. no one in sight. i thought to myself, "you lucky son of a beep."
i was pretty sure my head was going to be chopped off. which, i don't know why i would think that, because my employers are the nicest people ever. and the mom is like, brynley anderson nice. ya know what i mean?
5:40 - everyone comes in from outside playing in the snow.
6:00 - dinner is ready and we eat.
6:15 - clean up dinner/kitchen, shower, get ready to go get some dessert, and out to a movie with some nanny friends.
8:30 - arrive at applebee's.
8:50 - our waiter still hasn't taken our orders.
9:15 - finally, he takes our orders. only desserts. easy, right? apparently not.
9: 40 - our dessert comes out. one of them is burnt. wow. how nice of them! so we sent it back.
10:20 - we've been finished with our desserts for ten minutes and we haven't seen our waiter once.
10: 30 - darius shows up. where the %$#* have you been darius? he goes to get the check.
10: 40 - shows up with the check. ten minutes? really. he had to walk 10 steps to get to the cash register..
{our movie started at 10:45, fyi}
10:50 - comes back to pick up the check. i wanted to punch him! was he freakin turtle, or what?!
10: 55 - brings our receipts back. thanks a heap, darius. you made our night.
11:00 - made it to the movie, and had time to spare. we watched "how do you know". yeah. don't bother going to see it. it wasn't great.
1:00 - walked to the car. um.... what's on my window? nothing. there wasn't a window anymore.
fuh. why me? so we called the cops. made a report. blah blah blah. tried calling my employers. got nothing. they wouldn't answer any phones. oh goody.
1:45 - got back to my house. all doors are locked. best night ever right? tried calling the house a zillion times, no answer. ew. i was mad. and sad. and basically just really upset over-all. i mean, really? they couldn't hear the freaking phone ringing?? why would they lock all the doors in the first place.
2:00 - sat and cried on the garage steps.
2:10 - called my friend laurin to come pick me up.{she's so nice. she let me sleep at her house and then drove me home in the morning.}
2:30 - laurin picked me up.
2:50 - got to laurin's house.
3:00 - fell fast asleep.
so basically, it wasn't that bad of a day. but if you put yourself in my shoes and then took a step back and thought about it. you'd say, "oh bones". because the kids were home, i was stressing about getting fired, i didn't make that great of a dinner, i got their car window bashed in, their gps was stolen and i got locked out. but the best part of the whole day, was that it snowed. all day. and there was snow and ice covering everything. including my car that i had to scrape off about three times. and it was 20 degrees yesterday.
crool, huh?
welp. if you read this. the pity party is over by now, so don't worry about bringing me a present. hahahaha.
i just needed to vent. and that's what i did. it was a frustrating night. but it's a good story for the future, right?
That seriously is one of the worst days ever my friend. My sympathies to you. At least now you've had your really crappy day and can have a zillion awesome ones instead. I love you, keep on keeping on!
