Just left of normal

You know it's been one of those odd days where everything has just been off. I am sure its the universe's revolt to me not starting the day with my normal routine. I had a few hours left over at lanna's daycare so taking her for a half day, i intended to come home and clean then pick her up in time to bring home to go straight for a nap. I didn't want to shower just to get dirty again, so i was going to wait until after i was done.
When i went to drop off the girl, one of the ladies who is usually laughing and having a good time made a point to say to me that she needs to be dropped off before nine. She didn't yell or get loud but she did seem a bit annoyed which i thought was odd, but to be honest no one had ever told me 9 was the golden hour. When i got back in the car, the clock (which is at least 5 minutes fast) only said 9:15. I don't think i've dropped her off later than nine more than once or twice previously. I know one i dropped her off once at 9:30 but that was only because i didn't know and they didn't say anything then. So i don't know if she was actually annoyed at me or if she was having an off day, she is only there in the mornings half the time.

As I'm pulling out i feel bad because i didn't know and i don't want to look like the delinquent. Pushing it out of my mind I'm off to the store and get most of what i need (which is only a couple things) but completely forget what i was going for in the first place and don't remember that until i pull into the drive way at home.
Trying to keep myself optimistic about the rest of the day not going to pot, i resolve to go out for it later and push on with my original plan. I was going to start cleaning the tub first when i remembered the clog that has been bugging me and think maybe it would be a good time to take out a little tension in a productive way with the "sink plunger". Which is really just a synonym for "crappy plunger"... So an hour, a box of baking soda, half a gallon of vinegar, lots of cursing, splashing, clothes soaking and useless plunging later the water flow has gone from a trickle to a swift trickle. Frustrated i realize it's about 12 and almost time to go get the baby and i have not done any cleaning.

I clean myself up a little, get dry and leave. I can't really get lanna till about 12:30 which was ok with me because usually they have eaten and are putting then down for naps by 12:45. Or at least thats how it's been the other times I've picked her up early and since i had plans to call sam after laying her down i thought it would be good timing. I get there only to find out that they haven't eaten lunch yet... will i catch a break today? By the time we do lunch, get cleaned up and have her down it's just after 1:30. I sit down for a few minutes then call sam. Being that i am a bit late calling him, he's a little ugh. As you can probably guess we have a little tiff about it. Though I guess if i had thought about it i could have seen it coming a mile away.

The only things i did get accomplished today was washing the sheets and plucking my eyebrows, but that was short lived. Getting lanna up from her nap i go to take a shower, which means putting up the gate in her doorway, turning on a cd and giving her some juice. Most often she is perfectly ok and happy to play, however today she wants to have a melt down instead. I hold her, come in and play with her a bit, talk to her and finally shes ok with it. (By the way the bathroom is right next to her room and on a corner so i can see her doorway in the mirror). Since then shes been hanging on me and fussing and wanting to hold everything I'm holding or cry. I still haven't been back to the store and now it's pouring rain *sigh* I can't wait to go to bed so i can forget today and try again tomorrow.
