Let’s call it Whine and Complain Wednesday, mmkay?

I have a bad cold. Sore throat, headache, neck ache, fatigue, stuffy nose, cough.

This morning, my son went to kiss me goodbye and bumped the mug of coffee I was holding and it splashed directly into my laptop keyboard. I turned it off and turned it upside down, now it won’t turn on at all. I have no access to Microsoft Outlook, which means I don’t have my Calendar showing today’s posts that are due, nor do I have access to the email folders that I could look in to see what posts are due, nor access to all of the email addresses for all of the P.R. people who are waiting for me to write those posts.

I went to Wal-Mart to buy diapers, wipes, and three days worth of food for breakfast, lunch, dinner, and snacks for five people. It cost me $172.00. For 3 days worth. At Wal-Mart. And gas is $3.74 a gallon here.

I was invited to go someplace very cool in June with my family this time, it would be an amazing weekend, but they aren’t paying for transportation. We would not be able to afford plane tickets for five people, and although it’s within driving distance, the gas would also cost more than we can afford. It’s bumming me out that I might have to say no when this is the first time my family has been invited to go someplace!

Honestly, today is just not a good day. Once my husband gets home and MAYBE fixes my laptop, I’ll have EVEN MORE work to catch up on than I already do. Whine, complain, waaaah. Send chocolate.
