Ever Had One Of Those Days?

It's almost midnight Monday night. Why are you still up you may be wondering..umm..let me tell you how my day went. Let's start late morning with four girls deciding on what to have at a luncheon tomorrow(Tuesday) for an ex-rep we invited (she is a wonderful person we all love and miss). Two of us wanted to buy lunch(me being one of those two) and two wanted to cook. Well....the two that wanted to buy let the other two win so... cook it will be. I am to make a red velvet cake and chicken and dressing. I tell myself "self you are leaving at 5:00, stopping at Griners and getting home to get this over with". Now don't get me wrong, I love to cook just not on a work night! Okay, all is going well - until I get in the car and it won't start. So what does a girl do? I call my hero Willie (Connie's hubby) and he is there in a Jiffy with a smile on his face! Now you may ask, why did she not call her own hubby - well that will be a story for another day. While he is jumping my car off I head to the drug store to pick up a Rx for Eli (he has a bad cough). Then off we go to the auto store for a new battery (I'm still okay, after all my car is a 2004 with the original battery in it). After "forever" there (they did give me a 10% discount because we got NO help replacing it - poor Willie had to do it in the parking lot). I just kept telling myself, this is happening for a reason. Could be that the guy at the Auto place was going to get fired if he didn't have enough sells, I don't know but it sounded good at the time. I head to Kerrie's to drop off Eli's medicine and pick up my cake stuff she had bought for me earlier that day. I start to leave her house and Eli is clinging to me saying "I miss you" wanting to come home with me. Oh yes I did bring him...who could leave him saying that?? I get home and guess what? It's late and I forgot my cake stuff! I guess they felt sorry for me so they brought it to me. In the meantime, I gave Eli some juice and didn't get the top on right so when he turned it up all of it came out on his PJ' s and his bed. I strip him and the bed washed, dried and made his bed back up, baked a cake, made the icing, baked cornbread, made my dressing and just took it out of the oven at midnight. I really hope the two (Amanda and Lilah) that wanted to cook enjoy it! I'm not questioning why it all happened, I know the reason is good. I just hope it was real good for someone else! Thanks for reading my venting - I'm feeling better now that all is done so I am just going to go snuggle with my little man Eli! Good Night!
