Even grateful people have crappy days

Warning: This is a vent...I am going to relate all the dumb things that ticked me off today. I can blame it on pregnancy hormones and the fact that at 36 weeks I am now in almost constant discomfort/pain....that doesn't help ones patience levels. I am very very grateful for the reason behind my pain and hormones...nevertheless

It started this morning. I was brushing my teeth. When I am preggo I have a very sensitive gag reflex so I am careful usually. For some reason I could not handle it today! I could not stop gaging/heaving for about 5 minutes straight...sheesh. I don't even get morning sickness really so this was weird.

I got all dressed and felt I looked pretty cute. Found clothing that was comfy enough and actually fit (no small task) I put this cute cute flower in my hair that I just got and got the kids to school. I was all set to head to the mall and use a couple of gift cards to get some things for the baby...did the store I need open at 9...noooooo, how about 10...nope. The lady was in there taking her sweet time getting ready to open. So I took a walk around the mall (also no small task, as my pelvic bones feel like they are going to crack apart at any time) That is when I noticed the flower in my hair was gone. I re-traced my steps waddling all the way...no luck. The store finally opened about 10:15 and I found something cute, but by now I am totally exhausted. Being in pain for extended periods is tiring!

Oh yeah, and I couldn't get to sleep last night...I love to sleep. I am always up for a good nap...I never have insomnia. What the heck?!

I hoped I would find the flower in my car or at home...no luck. I am so ticked I lost that! Gah! Now I was planning on taking a nap after picking up bubba-do from preschool. He is allowed to play video games every other day so that would have been a good time. Did I get to? Nooooo. As I am turning on the tv/game system for him I realize the universal remote needs new batteries. I am all the way down stairs already and the batteries are upstairs. I send the 4 year old to find them and after 10 minutes I realize I will have to do it myself. He is holding the package of them in his hands!!! Don't ask me why he didn't just bring them to me like I asked. Oh yeah, and the cat peed on the floor just outside the litter box... Why????? Coming up the stairs was difficult enough, now I am all worked up and mad at the world.

I can't take a nap now... And my son informs me that the kitchen smells like dog poop so I figure I better do the dishes and take out the garbage. I seriously can't stand bad smells. I slammed things around and cleaned up the kitty mess. I felt only slightly better. The day isn't over. I have to drag my kids to my doctor's appointment and keep them occupied while the doc checks to see if I am dialated at all. Then all the books have to go back to the library (very heavy!!) Oh, and did I mention hubby is working nights so he is not able to be of any help with anything until the weekends? Great timing... a month of nights the final weeks before we have this baby.

And now I'm hungry.... how has your day been?
