Today hates me

That might sound a little melodramatic, but it's TRUE!!!! It started okay enough, I made a triple batch of pumpkin bread without any mishaps, but that has been the only positive of the day.

After I dropped Avery off at school and put Cole down for a nap, I dusted off my sewing machine and attempted to get to work. I had forgotten that my sewing machine is jacked up. I'm not sure what's wrong with it, but the stitches wont stay in. Zane was sitting on the island 'helping' me, and decided to see what would happen if he pushed my sewing box off the counter onto the floor. Pins, needles, thread, and everything else in the box went flying. I got that mess cleaned up, then decided to take a break from 'sewing' and took a shower.

I'm not sure what happened, but when I got out of the shower, there was a huge puddle of water on my bathroom floor. I'm guessing the shower curtain was on the outside of the shower instead of inside, but I really don't know.

After I got myself ready for the day it was just about time to pick up Avery from school and then we were going to meet my parents (who are staying with my sister) at the mall. Right before we left, I gave Zane his medicine for his ear infection. He's on omnicef which only comes in a glass bottle (who's the idiot that puts a kid's antibiotic in a glass bottle?) Anyways the bottle slipped out of my hand (after I gave it to him) and landed on the floor in several pieces.

My sister took pity on me and brought me her old sewing machine to borrow so I could make Cole's costume. When I say old, I mean that. My sister was given this sewing machine for her 8th grade graduation present. My sister is now 37!!! Sewing with that thing is like chewing on nails. Seriously, it either belongs in a museum or in a garbage dump. (She has a newer sewing machine, but it's waaayyy above my sewing level, you pretty much need to read an encyclopedia just to figure out how to thread the needle.) I'm not trying to sound ungrateful that POC saved my bacon today.

Avery has been so whiny and tantruming all day. I've had it with her. I don't know what is up lately. She has regressed to throwing tantrums constantly and I can't deal with it anymore.

I am so stressed out and exhausted that I have no patience with anyone today. And of course, Rob is gone tonight, as is Shalyn. So it's just me and the three little monsters. At least with today being so bad, tomorrow can't be much worse!!!
