first world problems

so i realize that the pathetic blogopsychobabble that is about to follow is me complaining about my teensy first world problems.

i have food to eat, money in the bank, a car we could afford to buy outright, a healthy & happy child, a healthy & happy husband, and a career i love.

that being said, today was a shit-storm of a day. in a first-world-problems sort of way.

to get to a work meeting in Concord on time, i had to drop the kiddo off at daycare early, which meant a super early wake-up. except, the kiddo was up all night teething and crying, and i was up trying to soothe him. so the early morning wake-up turned into an early morning stay-up. then we got stuck in traffic on the way to daycare, and the kiddo cried bloody murder when i dropped him off. then i got stuck in traffic again, and was late to the meeting. the meeting ended up being a giant un-paid waste of 2hrs. no one seemed to know what was going on, what they were doing, or what we were supposed to be doing. awesome. got back in the car and got stuck in traffic again on the way to my workout. drove around for 45min trying to find parking, only to stop halfway through the workout because of what i've self-diagnosed as a quad strain. grumped my way back to the car to get stuck in traffic AGAIN on the way to pick up the kiddo.

4 HOURS OF SITTING IN TRAFFIC TODAY, PEOPLE.

pick the kid up, and daycare tells me he didn't nap at all. which is basically code for "HAHAHA good luck lady you are SCREWED." he cried all the way home, all the way through dinner (which just ended up on the floor), all the way through walking the dog, and all the way through our bedtime ritual.

notice in there that i didn't eat? yup. so, once the kid was in bed (still crying of course) i get out a bagel to toast. end up slicing the shit out of my thumb. a half hour later, my thumb is wrapped and sufficiently nursified, but i am still hungry and in the grumpiest goddamn mood i've been in since, well, the disaster brick.

GRUMPpidygrumpgrumpBLAH. ready for all of this not-awesome to turn into awesome. whenever you're ready, universe.
