This day can suck it.

Today was a crappy day.

I started off with a nice big fat fight with the huz.  I feel like shit.  I made him feel bad, and hurt his feelings.  It was completely unintentional, and I am so frustrated and upset.  How can I sit here and happily blog away, and yet when it comes to trying to explain what I feel, or what I really meant to say during an argument I can never find the right words. I HATE fighting with my husband. He is my best friend.  Not talking all day has been torture.  I like calling him up just to say hi or to tell him something random.

Then the kicker.  I lost my car key.  We have no food in the house.  I have some chicken and a piece of fish and some milk and juice.  That is it.  I don’t have any rice, veg, potatoes, flour, bread, etc.  The list goes on a while.  I have been waiting for Friday for days now.  I had some unexpected expenses last week and my household funds did not stretch as far as they usually do.  Combine that with some bad luck and a bad week for the huz, and things were kind of sucky.  Because of a technical error in dispatch, he didn’t get a student this week.  No student means no fancy raise. And then he got a really crappy run (he needs 2500 miles a week for us to be sitting pretty- he got 1900) and soooo.  Yeah.  Not a good week for us.  Bad luck.

So I needed to go to the store.  And… My key is gone.  Vanished.  I’ve looked everywhere.  I even went through the garbage, which I am still feeling twitchy about.  I have a sneaking suspicion it went down the crack in the floorboards I found whilst looking for the above mentioned key.  WTF.  How did I not notice the GIANT GAPING CRACK in the floor- conveniently placed beneath the table where my purse lives.

I am filled with self-loathing right now.  No key. Angry huz. No food. Messy, ransacked household.  I couldn’t pick up Tina, which made me feel really bad because she filled out a weekend pass to visit me.  My friend Lorna is coming over tomorrow and my house is a wreck.

I feel like shit.

How do I not have a spare key?  What is WRONG with me, that I never thought “HEY! An EXTRA KEY to your ONLY car when you are living alone with FOUR CHILDREN might just be a good idea?”

Yeah.

Hah. I just noticed how visible the scar under my nose is. I had forgotten about that, because it is so faded now. I remember when it was HUGE and puffy and I was so embarrassed and thought it was the first thing people saw.

Did you look in the closet for the key? My daughter is always hiding things in random closets.

I wish I could offer more than a shoulder to lean on. It would be wonderful if the kids just hid the key and finally give it back. Also, try a simple appology to your husband it will make a huge difference.

Sending healing thoughts to you and your huz… girl, I know the feeling!!! Fighting with the hubby ALWAYS means the rest of the day is going to go badly for me… in a big way.

(((HUGS)))

I don’t have a spare key to my car, either. Thanks for the reminder! I have a bunch of keys on my key chain so it would be difficult to lose it. I’ve thought of getting one of those clap on/clap off keychain finders. ;-)
Hope you either found your key or someone ran to the grocery store for you.
