You know it's just gonna be one of those days

When the Mad Hatter is already in time out before 8AM.

When the Mommy did not fall asleep until after 4AM (with the help of a sleeping pill) and woke up before 8AM.

When the Mommy cannot drink coffee because everything is giving her tummy severe pains and she is petrified to drink coffee before going to massage torture therapy.

When the Mommy has a big case of PMS and her back is hurting more than usual.

When Mommy and Daddy have to watch a Cutco Knife presentation to help out a "friend of a friend" tonight.

And Mommy has no desire or need to buy knives, but felt guilty saying no to the poor 17 year old working so hard at his summer job.

And finally tried to fit him in at a time that the Mad Hatter would be asleep so she wouldn't keep interrupting us.

So we could get it over quickly.

At 8:30 tonight.

Yep, it's just gonna be one of those days.

Edited to add: about 2 minutes after hitting publish, I told the MH she could come out of her time out. She walked into my room and in the sweetest voice said "Mom? Thanks for reminding me not to take this off the bed. I'm very sorry." COMPLETELY on her own. She had pulled our king size comforter off the bed, had it spread on the floor, and DH had put her in time out because she was acting out of control and refused to help him put it back on the bed. She cried like crazy, but this is one of those moments seconds where I feel like maybe we might be doing something a little bit right. Maybe today won't be so bad after all.
