Today...

• I have strep throat. Again.
• The dog had me up at 5:30 so she could go investigate what was outside. (By the way, it was just the rain. Stupid dog.)
• I busted the zipper on Riley's winter coat. It's not fixable.
• I lost my car keys ("in the great big foam" - inside joke!) which caused us to be late dropping Riley off at school.
• The cat puked in the dining room.
• My sweater got caught on the door and now has a lovely hole ripped it in.
• The trunk lid fell on my head when I was loading groceries. And then my kids got to hear mommy curse loudly in the Meijer parking lot.
• Tried to pick up my coke from Wendy's to take a drink while driving and the lid popped off and I dumped coke in my lap. While still driving.
• Something broke at work, so my poor husband hasn't gotten to come home yet. He's been at work for almost 16 hours.
• My kids were like cracked-out monkeys all night because they were upset daddy wasn't home yet.
• Oh yeah, I turned 31. :)

Not the best birthday I've ever had, but it certainly could be worse. I just kept laughing wondering what was going to be next  (maybe that's a sign of maturity?) and singing this song in my head.

"This is the stuff you use to break me of impatience, conquer my frustrations. I've got a new appreciation. It's not the end of the world!"
