Today has turned out to one of those days that isn’t BAD. Not anywhere near bad. However, it is one of those days where you think about checking the tide table to see if the earth is off too.
You know, a day where you spend the better part of 5 minutes going up and down stairs, in and out of rooms, knocking papers off flat surfaces — all in the hope of finding the cars keys that you are holding in your hands!
Or the kind of day you pick up your kid from preschool and you reach the end of the drive and can’t find your sungalsses and you drive back to see if your sunglasses fell out of the car and for some reason you place your hand on your neck-chest area and find your glasses hanging on your shirt.
One of those days you think you have 40 minutes to get you and 3 *ahem* cooperative children out the door, but really you only have 12 minues and 57 seconds.
One of those days you complete the run your little schedule tells you to but it feels like death every step. Why? As if a sweaty-miserable effort isn’t miserable enough — when you take off your shoes you can’t figure out if that painful bump you felt for 5 miles is a hard blister or a corn.
It’s one of those days where I wonder if my driver’s license should be temporarily revoked because I question my peripheral vision (ex: my keys in my hand)… One of those days where you know you shouldn’t bake becuase you might retrieve the hot pan without a oven mit… One of those days where anything mathy (ex: grocery shopping with coupons) could prove disastrous… Aaaanyway. One of those not-bad, but seemingly not-quite-right days.
*sigh*
One of those days where even writing a conclusion is inconclusive.
But there are a couple of bright spots. I get my hair done tonight. Uh-oh. Maybe I should keep my head away from scissors and peroxide. Hmmm. And the lovely Lindaloohoo at Where’s My Damn Answer reminisced me… and had these lovely things to say in her introduction for the most delightful Jenn of Me and Mom:
…Jenny On The Spot (that alchoholic, bra wielding, foshizzle temptress we featured last week)…
*Sigh*. What girl doesn’t want to hear such lovely platitudes??? *more sighing* Just found the tide table. Everything looks fine. I just won’t be doing any math today. Nor will I chop veggies. Yeah, no knives either.
**********
Keep up on the ridiculous, the insightful, the always digressive…

Oh sweet familiarity. The time getting out of the house thing? Oh MAH GAHWD. Every stinkin’ day. You’d think I’d learn. Sigh.
What happened to Thursday Ladies Night? I’m thinking there HAS to be something around here for us to drown our, uh, not-right-ness. ;-)
oh jenny.
i’m ashamed. while those words were for me a form of highest accolade and a sign of awe & inspiration, now that i’m sober, i realize they could have been misinterpreted. but temptress was good, right?
also, i confess i was green with envy for the love you inspire in others.
does this mean you won’t teach me the bird walk?
Sigh, yes, I’m having one of those days today. It’s been quite the sucky day. Silver lining? It rained so hard that my son’s baseball game has been rained out. I get to stay home tonight!
Bra wielding, eh? With the day you’re having, you might want to watch out for those hooks.
Sorry, girl!! Well dang that’s every day of the week, JOTS! Wait til you are 47 and have to do all that with a spastic bladder. *fixes Depends wedgie*
It’s only downhill…sorry for the buzz kill….
I always have days like these. lol
Yeah, but have you ever looked all over the house for the tv remote only to find it in the freezer?! Guilty. And I am pretty sure I was the one to put it there to begin with.
I’m also having a stressy day, but on the bright side, I have some very explosive diarrhea
Yes. Oh Yes. Add an “Amen” and a
Testify.” Because, that is my week right now.
Oh yes, I know those days well. For me they usually start with me dropping things and running into walls. Clumsy.
Hope today is better! Big hug!
How’s the training going??
Jenny…..I’m all adither….truly….I want to jump the next ferry so that I can cover you with glitter from head to toe! Maybe that would make up for the tilting of the earth’s axis.
You speak of this day like it only happens to you once in awhile. Oh to be so lucky. I have weird crap happening to me like that every day!! It happens so frequently that I can’t even stand back and examine it. “Hmmm…now that was just strange.” It’s more like…” Yup, that’s about right.”
And who does your hair? I need a good hair person…
