The Terrible Horrible No Good Very Bad Day

I mean, I guess my day hasn't exactly been as bad as Alexander's but it hasn't been a great one. And I can't exactly put my finger on why. I woke up this morning worrying about anything and everything that I could think of. Maybe this is normal with a baby coming so quickly on the horizon? I think that it has been triggered by the issues with the Crossfire yesterday and me worrying about how much it is going to cost to fix. Then I started thinking about how much it is going to cost us to fly home this Christmas, buying gifts, buying diapers and formula if for some reason I have to formula feed and I just started to unravel. Hopefully it is just an off day and tomorrow I will feel better.

I tried to escape my day by floating in the country club pool. It is supposed to rain the next few days so I figured it was a good idea to get some sun in before we don't see it for a few days. The high this weekend is actually only in the 60's and I am REALLY looking forward to it! So back to the pool. There are a few things that have really been annoying me lately. The first and the worst is the addition of this to the neighbors back porch.I do not understand windchimes. They really annoy me. I mean, the neighbor hangs them up and then goes to work all day long leaving me to listen to them chiming all day long! Currently I am sitting in the den. The dining room and the kitchen are between me and I can still hear them though the window from the house NEXT DOOR. I might be launching Operation De-chime soon. As if the chimes aren't enough, there is always this.See this harmless looking silver thing to the left? It is actually the devil disguised as a PINWHEEL! Everytime the wind blows this pinwheel spins and lets out a blood curtling screech that just about will make your ears bleed. I'm not sure who it belongs to though (my money is on George) but I have seriously considered making it disappear one night. Who knew that one little pinwheel could cause a person such angst? :) Lastly, I was very annoyed by this today.My super nice, super expensive (ha ha) pink raft has apparently buckled under the weight of this pregnant body. There is a hole in it somewhere (obviously) and it is pretty pathetic to look at when I rolled off of after my afternoon float. Least I still have the green one to pop! Anyways, now I am going to settle in on the couch to read and wait for my husband to come home. Hoping that tomorrow is a better day!

Blah! I see I'm not the only one having a crap day, but thank god I don't have to deal with either one of those annoyances. My neighbors did have some wind chimes, but thankfully they've disappeared.

I have been a having a day of the blahs too. Mine has been triggered by MAJOR wedding drama with the date, then it escalated to me freaking out about the price of everything, then to me thinking about how much it is going to cost me to buy gifts for people and pay for misc. wedding expenses, etcetera etcetera etcetera. It is just a no good day for me too! We all have them, but they are no fun! Bleh!

I hope your day gets better! I also think you should make the pinwheel and chimes disappear! :)
