One of those days

You know those days when the dishwasher doesn't clean the dishes completely, the dryer takes two cycles to get the clothes dry, you are out of bread, milk and dog food, the kids tell you they don't have any clean clothes, your library books are overdue -- one is lost somewhere-- and you can't renew them online because your internet is down for the third day in a row, you feel PMS coming on, the broken sink sprayed you in the face when you went to wash the two-year old's hands after he found out for himself his diaper needed changing, there are what seem like a hundred beads on the floor after your four year old spilled the container her older sisters were using for their craft -- and when you move the chair to sweep them up, you see someone spilled ice cream the night before and didn't tell anyone, the phone rings (which you don't even think about picking up at this point) and some recorded message is playing on the answering machine again saying you have been pre-approved, it is getting cloudy and cool so the kids are now inside wanting to "do" something, so you decide to give up trying to clean anything and watch a movie with them, only to find that you don't have any clean bowls for popcorn because the dishwasher didn't work! Yeah, I'm there.
