| Mon 3/3 - I am calling this a official BAD DAY |

I hate to dwell on the negative, but...
It all started last night. MrsMal went to make her oh-so-delicious heart-attack-inducing super-meaty super-oniony super-greasy super-yummy super-special meatballs & gravy (family recipe). She needed at least one egg, but the eggs we had were long expired.
Making dinner went well after that, but now KidMals bedtimes would be delayed. KidMal1.0 does not like the meatballs, so gets buttered noodles (we always have noodles or mashed potatoes to balance the meat and soak up the gravy). She still threw a fit despite MrsMal's throughtfulness and barely ate.
After that, bathtime went well, and we watched a kids' show as our now-traditional unwinding. KidMal2.0 went right to bed. KidMal1.0 put up a little fight but could have done worse.
I tried to start doing some dishes to clean up from the cooking. Suddenly Kid2 was awake and NOT happy. So I stopped and attended to him, but could tell he was past "slap happy" mode, would NOT fall asleep on me (giggling too much) and NEEDED to go to sleep alone. He did not like that prospect.
Because of that, and the layout of the house, we couldn't finish these chores:
- Wash cooking dishes
- Start dishwasher (which also had my usual water bottle)
- Put away clothes from dryer
- Warm up other load from Friday (reduce wrinkles) and put away
Thankfully both kids slept.
But fast forward to Monday morning. Past my usual 5:00 alarm to 5:45, because said alarm didn't go off and MrsMal had to wake me up. Rushed shower. Rushed lunch packing. And the car still needed to be brushed & scraped off from Saturday night's snow. The air had been cold enough Sunday so it should have been a nice powdery brush-off, but the sun melted the windows, heated the inside of the car and melted all the windshield snow into a thick bumpy nasty icy mess.
So I left home 30 minutes late. Only to find the road right in FRONT of work was closed, had been for over 2 hours, with all traffic detoured the WRONG way for me to go in the back gate, and the detour route was so backed up I should have just gone home.
I managed to get off the detour route and got back to work. Total 48 minutes late.
And then I find I didn't repack my knife in my lunch bag. Now how am I supposed to eat this kiwi?!?
I. HATE. MONDAYS.
(Good kiwi, though. Thank you, hobby screwdriver I keep in the desk drawer. And at least lunch will be good -- leftover meatballs and gravy over noodles! Super-YUM!!!) |
