My phone is dead and won't charge. Got a get-together tonight. Hubby has to work (insert gripe here sprinkled sparsely with gratitude). Van battery is 3/4 dead... not taking charge. Got things to do so at 8 am I took hubby's car to Home Depot to grab a quart of paint in the bright green my living room is painted. Imagine my horror when I grabbed the bag to find it (the bright green paint) spilled on the front seat.. of my HUSBAND'S car (cue hysterics). Thanks Home Depot paint guy... the lid was completely off the can. I was in shock and pulled the whole bag onto my lap before I realize what I was doing. I spilled paint all over the passenger side, across the console, onto the steering wheel, into my lap, then splashed it across the open door. Not to mention my now paint-spattered capris and my Etienne Aigner PURSE! Is it Friday the 13th or something????? I felt better after an "everything" bagel from Einstein Bros and some pumpkin spice coffee. What else will today bring? Or should I ask?
A day in our household is typically complicated and hilarious and insane thanks to multiple personality types and the fact that my coping strategies are still in the developmental stages. A closer look reveals that joy is intricately woven into the insanity. My husband and four kids give my life purpose like no career ever could - I love them all dearly. I wouldn't trade places with anyone. The volcano of disaster that is our existence will only last for so long... I will embrace it while I can!
