…Or at least that’s how I felt yesterday. I woke up sick to my stomach and just started to feel worse as the day went on. I blame the sushi I ate the night before. Do not buy sushi from K-Mart. I should have known better, I just wanted sushi. I ended up not going to work and stayed home, laying on the couch because every time I moved, I got sick. Thank goodness I took the boys to school or they would have been so miserable. I have to say, regardless of being sick; it was nice to be able to fit in some schoolwork. Which is one nice thing about going to college online; there is never an excuse for not doing schoolwork. I can lie in bed, in my pajamas, eating, and drinking some OJ if I want.
Anyway, today I felt much better. Although it was not the greatest day because it started out really bad. I took a shower before work to try to feel more awake and overall better. While in there, I slipped and tried to grab onto the water to catch myself. It didn’t work. I immediately got mad, angrily squeezed the body wash onto my loofah, and practically scrubbed my skin off. I was taking out my frustration, onto myself. Not smart. After my shower, I plugged in my flat iron and proceeded to walk into the bedroom to figure out what I was going to wear. It was dark except for a small sliver of light that was coming in from the window. Somehow, I stepped full footed onto a Lego with all of my weight and I just have to say, People who say labor pain is the most intense pain a human can feel, have obviously never stepped on a Lego in the dark! I cried a little. In addition, I was immensely confused about how there was a Lego there in the first place. We don’t have Lego’s. One of the boys must have pocketed on from school and planted it there for me. Needless to say, I threw the Lego across the house and proceeded to finish my hair and make-up and get out the door.
It was busy when I got to work. I would have so much rather been home with my boys doing something fun or just snuggling with them (they are the very BEST snugglers). People were acting a little crazy and there was a thickness in the air. It was as if everyone was stressed out and I could feel it. Just so happens that my first customer was one whom I’m not too fond of. She is always sort of rude and disrespectful. She acts as if she is better than me because I am waiting on HER. She was actually somewhat nice today but I wasn’t buying it. It’s sort of funny because when you don’t like someone, everything they do is offensive, “Look at her, chewing that gum like she owns the place.” After she left, it was pretty slow. I feel like I did a lot but at the same time, got nothing done. Before I left, I started talking to another employee (whom is my friend) and a few other people. I had started telling them the story about how my morning went but realized that nobody was listening so I slowly faded out and pretended I never said anything.
Rather than talk to anyone, which hadn’t gone to well all day, I proceeded to clean this diamond ring for someone. While doing this, I started having a conversation in my head and realized I was making faces that went along with the silent conversation…oh it gets worse…I was even smiling and laughing, because I’m so darn hilarious. Yeah right. It was awkward and I was super embarrassed. When I looked up my relief was there so I high tailed it out of there. As I was walking out the door of work I felt, overwhelmingly happy to be leaving. Until I tripped right at the sliding doors and fell to my knees. I wanted to yell, “GO ON WITHOUT ME” for dramatic effect but the gig was up. Everyone saw what I did and I think some of them saw the “I can’t believe this just happened” look on my face and let me tell you…they were holding back laughter.
I left work and went out to my car, started it up, and sat there for a second to breath. I took out my phone and noticed my text message light beeping. Woohoo! It was from a friend who wanted me to go out with her and a few of our friends to get wings after work. (I declined because I missed my lil’ guys) I immediately perked up until I started to read the text. Let me quote it for you… “Omgz hav!n such a gewd tiem wif mai bestiez, lolzzzz!”….Seriously? Take your keyboard and bash your head into it.
I went from work, straight to the boy’s school to pick them up, squeeze them really tight, and give them a million kisses. They were just as happy to see me as I was them. Which totally turned my whole day around. On the way home, Stefan said, “Mom I gotta joke, Whats brown and sticky?” I thought, oh great. Another poop joke. But instead I said, “I don’t know, Stefan. What’s brown and sticky?” His reply was….”a stick.” Really? I actually laughed as if he told me the funniest joke ever written. I was not expecting it and it was cute coming from him. He thought he was THE MAN for telling a funny joke too.
Once we got home, it was really quite peaceful. I made sandwiches, mac and cheese, and corn. Yes, I was being lazy and uninventive. But hey, after a day like today, I wanted to keep things simple. The boys were being sweet and really made it easy on me tonight. They ate all their dinner, took a bath, and went to bed when I said. They were asleep after 2 bedtime stories. As I sit here and take a deep breath, I think…”Bring it on Thursday. I can take it.” J
Glad the day ended on a good note! Love that you were smiling and laughing during your private conversation in your head! lol
