Ever Have a Crazy Day Filled Every Possible Emotion?! (Kinda Long)

Yesterday was one for the record books. I went through several things that had me reeling emotionally - from great hatred, anger and feeling of being violated, to sweet/sad, to happy and finally bitter-sweetly feeling old.
Here's how it went:
Woke to get kids up for school. Got a call from the storage facility in the state we moved from. Apparently, 10 units were broken into, ours being one. B.I.L. went over and reported every box was cut into, pictures everywere, and nearly everything that was easy to carry out was stolen. We still have a few big items like the t.v., enter. center, table/chairs. Other than that, it would appear everything is gone. Now, when we go back to get what we have, we'll have to re-pack what's there just to get it into the truck! There is no useful surveilance, as it was dark and they knew what they were doing! I feel so violated, angry and filled with hate towards them!!!
So, got kids off, and then took my son to his first day of Kindergarten. He handled it fine, but I know he's my last one
and so it was like, "I'm not old enough to be done!" You know that feeling, right, mommas?! :)
THEN, I picked my little big man up and he reported he lost his FIRST tooth - literally. He lost it in the playground! LOL So, he had a major day filled with firsts!
THEN, about 10 p.m. my baby girl who turned 10 in late May told me there was "something on her underwear". Uh huh. She started her first cycle! I had to run to the store to get what she needed and have a crash-course on cleaning, caring, changing.. you know, right? :) That was a total shock., I was thinking we had at least another year,
So to recap: In one day, I experienced the first time every getting robbed. First time for my boy to go to school. First tooth on said first day of school to come out. First cycle for my last girl.
Needless to say, my hubby gave me extra cuddles last night, which filled me with love and thankfullness for him being my rock. Btw, he told my son that every month, they are going to go fishing for a week and let the women be alone! hahaha Oh, and as a side note, my big girl started hers today! lol When it rains, it pours!
So, have any of you have similar types of days where emotionally you are put through the ringer with "Firsts"?
Wow, yesterday you knew you were alive!
That is a lot of even just a week..
You sound like an amazing mom able to handle whatever is thrown at you. You are the rock who can handle anything, but you are also a tree, able to bend in the roughest times you can keep it all together.
I remember losing my first tooth at school. I refused to let it out f my hand and while swinging, it slipped out of my hand.
The tooth Fairy still visited! I was so excited.
And when I started my period, I had tried all afternoon and evening to get my mom alone so I could tell her and get some items but she had been so busy with my sister, then dinner guests, it took till late at night. She cried when I told her I had been trying to tell her. She felt so bad, but I told her it was ok, because I was not afraid, since she had talked to me about what to expect. Your husband sounds so sweet. You are a lucky woman..
and to the thieves.. .. I hope their genitals become inflamed and the blisters spread so that they cannot sit comfortably for a long, long time with no relief.. .

I've been robbed before so I know the feeling of "violation" that you have. My robbery was in my house so it took a long time for me to even feel safe at home again. At least you don't have to deal with that!
Congrats to your little man on his first day of K and losing his first tooth. It's a day he will remember!
I can't believe your 10 year old already started her cycle. Poor thing! My GD is 11.5 so we are anticipating it any time. We have already bought what she will need and have gone over how to use them and all the other stuff so she's ready and waiting!
Hope tomorrow is a better day!

I am so sorry you were robbed. Nothing will make that right but I will tell you one worse. My poor sister was moved by the Navy after her H had finished. They showed up to her door and opened the truck up to reveal one chair, one end table and a bike! They had been robbed at the docks and didnt tell her til they got there :(.

Hugs to you momma. I can't imagine how overwhelming your day must have felt. So sorry, but at least you were a good sport about it all! Can your insurance company do anything about your stolen goods?

Sounds like you "weathered" the storms of life in a good way. Your last child in school, last daughter becomes a woman and some personal items were lost. You can always purchase things but you can't get the firsts back.
You did good and you had an eventful emotional day in a good way. Hubby was there to give you big hugs and tell you he was proud of the way you handled all the events.
Have a good weekend and put this down in your notebook of accomplishments. You survived!

PS Have a glass of wine and chill out.

It sounds like you had a really trying day of Firsts, but you made it through and you made it through like a trooper! I have two girls, 9 & 15, so there aren't too many "firsts" left, well, I do w/the youngest, but it's not the same if you know what I mean. What I try to do with my emotions, which btw can be all over the place at times, is take each one and break it down if necessary, feel what I'm feeling and go onto the next. Each milestone is as important as the next, your son's first day of kindergarten, your other son losing his first tooth, and even your daughter sharing her big news. And trust me, she'll be sharing a lot with you for years to come. My daughter was 11 when she got hers and sometimes when I feel like we have nothing in common and she doesn't talk to me about anything at all, around that time of month, me and a bag of M&M's are her best friend. From there we usually go on a mystery ride (just the two of us) and she fills me in on her life which turns out to be the best night of my month. Life can be very crazy at times, and unfortunate as well. I'm sure the storage unit is insured, try to go thru an inventory of what was stolen and present them with a list for reimbursement.
Just try to keep your chin up and as far as when it rains, I just grab the kids & we puddle hop!
