It's An, "I Need Some Chocolate" Kinda Day...

Besides the aforementioned plant discussion, this morning when I came out I found my daughter sitting with the back door open (she just let the dog out to go potty). She looks at me and says, "Now there is a lizard in the house." Great. I saw it briefly and then my dog did. The dog takes off after the lizard and the lizard dashes off behind a book case that I can not move. Sigh.

I get the dog away from the book case because she is going nuts. Finally she gives up (though right now she is lying by the case keeping vigil), and we go on about our day. I get my daughter ready and we head to the store. I pull in and park, just in time to hear her say, "I went pee." "What?!" sure enough, she is sitting in a puddle. Put my seatbelt back on and come home. Double sigh...

Clean the seat and had to listen to my daughter whine for half an hour about wanting to go to the store. So I told her we had to wait until her seat dried because she peed in it. Not even kidding while I was typing this the lizard made it's appearance, the dog ate it, and then promptly threw up. Beyond sighing and getting to the point of drinking.

So tell me. What's your best, "I needed chocolate' story. Surely someone has me beat.

What can I do next?

So What Happened?

Rachel, yeah house fire beats lizard any day. Hands down.
Uggh Stacey! I would have skipped the chocolate and went straight for the hard stuff! Or maybe smoked a little of my marijuana, aka Mint. LOL
Disclaimer: I do not smoke pot, this is in reference to an earlier post. :)

I was staying with my parents while my husband was in Army Training. The dog was brought into the house so the gardeners could work (which is a weekly thing for her). I had gone out to run some errands and my parents were at work. When I came home, the dog had eaten the trash, them got sick. Dog diarrhea everywhere and no one but me to clean it up . . . did I mention I was 8 months pregnant! I almost threw up multiple times while on my hands and knees cleaning up the mess!

LOL, lizard, you don't need chocolate, you need a glass of wine ;)

First day of spring break my kids started a small house fire. Does that count? I'm always telling them to PLACE the pencils in the pencil holder, don't throw them in that general direction and wish for the best... the pencil holder is a short vase on the stove (not the smartest place, but it has no other home). So I always check the stove before starting it, went to boil water, next thing you know, flames, OMG... a pencil landed IN the stove, like way below the burner, and caught on fire. I didn't think they were going to survive the rest of spring break after that. We had a huge safety talk, but I still shake my head thinking about it.

Wow, if you lived closer I would send you one of the triple chocolate brownies that I made myself this morning.

I figured I needed them after yesterday... which while bad was nothing like your morning...

I just deleted what I typed becuase as bad as my day was it really did not come close... just a tempermental husband acting worse than the tired cranky 4 year old who also decided se would rather pee in her pants than go to bathroom. Fortunatly we were home for that one....

Anyway smile, you will laugh about it before you know, if anything just becuase it was so bad all you can do is laugh....

My day started with a diaper that some how became unfastened on one side during the night. DS had taken a fairly sizable poop. Straight into his jammie leg. Plus he had black beans and corn yesterday, which were remarkably unchanged after their journey. So it's a laundry and chocolate kind of day!

To top off your day, the cops will knock and ask for the pot stash! I feel for you.

My worst day was when we were getting the roof redone and they didn't tarp it correctly. About 3 am woke up to the sounds of water running in the house. Yep, I had water streaming in the front of the house, in the light fixtures, the window sills everywhere. The workers showed up, and went into the attic and prompty put their foot through my son's ceiling. About 11:00 a.m. I received a call from hubby telling me the transmission went out and he was driving home from Lexington in third gear. All this before noon time. Yep, I wanted a big box of chocolate!
