oh, you're having one of those days

yes. yes i am. i usually have wonderful and pleasing days, but just like everyone else, speed bumps come out of no where and "break my stride". my ex dropped the girls off this morning on his way to work. june had day camp and my friend joey was going to come over to take june and her son harry to camp across town. june was dressed to go to school not day camp out in the woods so i asked her to put on her sandals and some shorts while i made her lunch. she then told me the dog at her daddy's house ate her 2 month old sandals i had bought her for easter. i got p.o.'d. buying them shoes, especially nice ones is few and far between right now because their feet grow so dang fast. speed bump 1. i then call the camp to let them know i will not be picking my child up from camp, that the woman dropping her off will be. they told me "no". speed bump 2. i talked to everyone i could think of there keeping my cool as best as i could, they wanted me to drive down there and put joey on the list, well that is a whole 'nother thing because yesterday they wouldn't even let parks, their dad pick her up. he called me fuming mad because they would not let him pick her up, his own daughter, i don't know what confusion this camp had going on but it is major. he had to go in the office, be kinda mean, and make them look up the "paperwork" that listed him as her father. on their "list" outside in the child pick up zone, they only had my father listed, not even me, so they would have denied me too. okay...so i was really peeved by now. i told the camp i would fax them a permission slip for joey along with my id....my expired id. speed bump 3, not wanting to rock the boat more i went to the tag agency to get a new id. (but before that i had to drive around the Greeks car in to get to the street because i couldn't find his keys to move his car.) it was two months out of date so i needed my birth certificate. beila, popi and i went to my safety deposit box to get my birth certificate. it wasn't there, speed bump 4. i took my passport and went back to the house to go look for my b.c. it was no where to be found, now the house looks like a paper monster puked in here. the dept of public safety that takes passports was across town, so i decided just to fax my passport to the camp as id and my id just for the heck of it. we went to fedex and faxed. there i saw my passport was a year out of date as well, speed bump 5. so, now i have to come up with a b.c. and need to go across town in another direction to get it. i left fedex and went to go get bee lunch before we drive off into the horizon where i found out i left my id and credit card at fedex, speed bump 6. i was about to cry. i went back, they had my cards, thank you Lord, and then i just couldn't handle anything any more and came home. i need to regroup my brain before i head back out into the oblivion to find my birth certificate to go back to the tag agency to get my id. all this while wearing blush and mascara for my picture i might not take...i hate wearing makeup.

What a crap day. We just went through the ID thing with my husband. We had to have his Mom mail him a copy of his BC, it took forever.
