Funk of a day

Today was (is) the anniversary of dad's funeral. Not an all together bad day, the weather was nice, the kids were all to school on time. It's just well let's start at the beginning.

I didn't get to the store for groceries AGAIN! Life has been so hectic that I haven't really gotten to stop and do nothing during the day for any real length of time (after 9pm maybe just not before).
Anyway.... I started the day running late... no milk so no real breakfast for the kids... but at least they were to school on time right?
I skip my 9:30 meeting to go shopping, get the food for the next week and 1/2 for lunches and meat for dinners... Short of cash so take all the meat off the bill. OK now I'm down to $0.75 to my name... Take the kids some lunches for today... Go to work and put the perishable (ie. milk) in the fridge there and then get to work making circles for scouts (more on the later... maybe). By now it's creeping up on noon and my next meeting. And I forgot the get a lunch for me. So now I'm sitting in a lunch meeting without a lunch... Talk about fun.. NOT! Oh and by this point depression is sinking in. Gee I don't know why....
After the meeting I get some more stuff around work done... Mind you that only the noon meeting is actually work, the rest is all volenteer hours, so it's stuff that in a different frame of mind, I'd be glad to do. Just not today.
So now it's 4pm. I'm home and unloading the groceries (after I go back to work since I forgot the stuff in the fridge). Little lady decides to make some jello... I say fine you know how to do it... next thing I know there is an exposion in my kitchen and glass is everywhere! thankfully none got on the kids but WOW!! Turns out she didn't remember how we made it before and set the glass bowl on a burner and turned it on!! What a mess... what a smell. I now have melted glass and grape jello stuck to the burner and the under side of the stovetop.

Some days it just doesn't pay to get out of bed!

She was so lucky not to get hurt! Sorry about the stink in your kitchen and your very injured stove. I hope today was better.
