Is It Seriously Only Wednesday??

I try not to complain very often because it doesn't usually help things. On occasion, however, there are times when a little ranting is justified.

I can say with utter confidence that these are two of the most stressful days ever.  It started on Monday with me running late and having to stand in a freaking long line at the lab to get some bloodwork done. {I had to wait 30 minutes for the honor of getting my blood drawn.} Because of that, I was late to work. I had a really nasty customer yell obscenities at me. {It took a lot of restraint not to yell them back.} Then I went to the doctor and got some bad news {It's complicated, but I'm not sick or anything.}

On Tuesday, my car wouldn't start. I had it towed and found out it would cost an arm and a leg to fix. {Christmas really isn't the best time for expensive repair work.} I went to work and had an employee flake out on her shift. {It was an emergency, but still.}  I got some more disappointing news. {Family stuff.} Then I picked up my car and found that on top of everything, I also need new tires. I was going to get a new car soon anyways. So instead of doing all these repairs, I might as well just get one sooner.  {Only since I don't know anything about cars or buying them, I have to rely on my dad and my husband to help me, and I hate relying on other people.} But I still need to drive for the next few days, so I had to pay some of the aforementioned arm and leg.

Plus there is the constant worry about my business, which relies on funding from the state of California. {Yeah, the really really really bankrupt one.} And of course Christmas and Christmas presents and Christmas present wrapping and packing for Christmas vacation. {And I'm a perfectionist, so it all has to be just right.} On top of it all, there's my son and his ability to drive me nuts even on a good day {let alone a bad one.}

And now....I'm going to take a deep breath, say a prayer, and do as the picture says. We'll see how long it lasts.

I hope you're having a better week than I am!
