This day can go straight to hell

[Deleted]

This has been the WORST DAY at the SuperGreen household in a long time. DH and I are both at the breaking point. One more thing happens, and you'll find us both in the loony bin.

-DH got a flat on the way to work. $100 tow later, he needs 4 new tires. $700 on the CC.

-DS pulls down the Christmas tree, breaking several heirloom ornaments. He is more upset about losing privileges than mommy crying.

-DH's cousin gets all up in DH's business about how DH is caring for his elderly grandmother. Cousin is semi-retired wealthy with school-aged kids, DH works FT with PG wife and toddler. DH is furious. If cousin wants things done a certain way, he can fucking do it!

-Apparently my vehicle tags expired 11/30, had no idea. Come out of grocery store to $75 ticket on my windshield.

-Came home from shopping, dog puked in her crate, cat puked in the laundry room. Thank god the dog didn't walk in it. I'm 6 clean laundry loads behind, I have no idea when I can wash the dog bed. Obviously I have to.

-something went amiss at DH's grandmother's nursing home. So DH won't be home for dinner, I'm solo parenting the rest of today.

Oh man. Sorry it's a rough day! Put everybody to bed now and hope tomorrow goes better. (if only, right?!!)

[shortstax]

Holy Hell.

On the brightside, tomorrow can only be better

[UnderProtest]

Awwww, that is a lot to handle. That picture is hilarious though.

[dancingirl21]

Ugh, I'm so sorry. When it rains it pours and this too shall pass. Lots of chocolate for you! Big hugs.

[bazinga]

Sorry today keeps piling on you!

Days like this need a reset button. Have an easy dinner (order in!) and some wine and then it will be tomorrow.

[sjh722]

I'm sorry. Days like that are THE WORST.

[pinotgrig]

I'm sorry - that's a lot in one day! Big hugs.

[gogadgetgo]

Holy hell friend. I wish you could drink

Lots of hugs

I promise you, it will pass!! In the meantime, treat yourself in some small way (call a friend to come over and help w/ DS tonight, treat yourself to Chipotle for dinner, have a kit kat, watch something trashy on netflix later tonight, SOMETHING).

I bought a slice of deluxe chocolate cake. And this evening will certainly include pizza and a movie, I'm not cooking anything.

[DarcyLongfellow]

That is a seriously shitty day :-( I'm so sorry!!!

Do whatever you can to make your evening enjoyable. Happy Meal for the kiddo's dinner and fun takeout for you. Followed by an early bedtime, then ALL the chocolate for you!!

[satsuma]

That's so rough. I hope you're able to find a way to treat yourself tonight.

[shelbyann]

I'm sorry, that's quite a pile on.

[waterchurch]

Deluxe chocolate cake sounds about right. Sorry. :-(

I'm sorry

Good plan. Sorry this day has been terrible, I hope things turn around soon!

And I know how hard it is to manage/help someone that's in a nursing home. Your DH should tell cousin to back off, I butted heads with family members a bit in the beginning stages with my dad. Eventually they all came around. 

Hang in there!

[havarti]

Chocolate cake is my drug of choice too! I hope you enjoy it and tomorrow is a better day for everyone.

[oswin]

*hugs* I hope things get better and you have some good luck soon.

[Deleted]

What a shitty day. I hope tomorrow is kick ass, and you forget all about today.

[redheadk]

Wow, you guys really have had a terrible day. I'm so sorry

I am seriously wtfing over here that they troll through the grocery store parking lot to look for and ticket cars with expired tags. And especially one that is just 8 days expired! Where is the flipping grace period?

That sounds like a day from hell. I'm sorry @supergreen

I know right?!? Grace period is less than 8 days, apparently.

Ashley&Scott, thank you. Taking over DH's grandmother's care has been a huge ordeal. DH's father, after caring for her for 10 years in upstate NY where they all live, abruptly decided he wouldn't do it anymore. It got dropped in our lap out of the blue. DH's grandmother is a wonderful woman, and we want to do right by her. But all this family is coming out of the woodwork, yelling at DH to do this or that, go FASTER FASTER, more expensive more expensive! But yet they wouldn't actually HELP at all.

Aww hugs @supergreen. I am so sorry. I love that meme.

Yep you pretty much tell them tough shit - chip in & help or shut up. Maybe not so bluntly, but that's what you say. 

It is not an easy position to be in, trust me I know. But I can say from experience it should get easier as you go along. Everything will fall into place & you'll get into a routine. Does her nursing home have someone that can help too? At my dad's the nurses & business manager are great about helping with whatever I need. (I'm an hour away so I do what I can by phone/email between visits) I'm sure his grandmother appreciates everything you guys are doing for her.

Blerg, you're having shitty couple of days!

[carolinagirl831]

Oh man, hugs tomorrow is a new day

[bbonanza]

Wow, I'm so sorry you are having such a crappy day, that and having to deal with your DH's family about his grandmother's care. I hope that tomorrow is a much much better day.

[stealthmom]

WHY AREN'T YOU TAKING RESPONSIBILITY FOR YOUR ROLE IN YOUR SHIT?

:-P
