Yesterday just wasn't my day... I just need to gripe about it, so read no farther if you don't want to hear complaining! Sorry it's so long!

My boss at work (not my Dad- who is my other boss-he was out sick) didn't say 2 words to me all day. I came to find out from my Dad that since I have a job interview on Tuesday (my current job is a temporary summer thing) she took that to mean I have a job Tuesday and is a bit angry. My Dad told her that it was just an interview in the morning and I could be there by noon, but she decided that she would no longer need me after Monday. Sheesh Lady! There was an understanding that if I found a permanent job while I was working there, I'd be leaving immediately. Not that I'm bragging, but everyone in the building keeps telling me that they wish they could hire me full time. I was hoping that if I got this new job, the timing would work out that there would only be a few days of a gap.

Next, I'm on my way home from work and I'm about 20 minutes into my hour ride when I hear this wretched sound... I have a flat tire! WHoo Hoo! So I pull over to the safest place I could find on the very busy road I was on (Thank heaven for a really big shoulder). I have to tell you it's pouring rain outside at this point. I get out and head to the trunk to get the spare so I could change the tire and lo and behold.... it's not there. I had taken DHs car, so I call him up and ask him where the spare tire is. "Oh I don't know"... was his reply. Now, I'm really pissed. I hang up on him and call AAA. "Yes Ma'am, it'll be about 35 minutes" Ok, I guess I have no other choice but to wait. I'm really thankful I had my phone with the internet cause I was watching funny youtube videos to keep from losing it. Next thing I know, my FIL and DH are pulling up behind me. I get into their car and we wait for AAA. And of course the rain stops. The car is towed home, and then we get to sit down to dinner at 8:00pm. A whole 3 hours after I left work.

Here's the kicker- I'm in the car waiting for AAA when I feel like AF is starting. I'm no where near any place I can go use the bathroom (which I also had to pee really bad). In fact I had just passed all the businesses in the area and the only place that was open within walking distance was this "Gentlemen's Cabaret" place. Ummm... so NOT going in there! So I'm stuck in the car having to pee and thinking that AF has just started (I'm actually just spotting at this point-but it felt like Full fledged AF then), realizing that yet again, I'm not pregnant. Then it dawns on me that I'm supposed to call to schedule my HSG on CD 1 of my cycle but I can't because of DH's stupid company dragging their butts with getting our new insuranc cards. I asked the Drs office last week if I could schedule without my cards and they said no. So, it looks like I'm gonna have to wait until next cycle unless by some miracle we get our cards by Monday.

Soooo.... I'm hoping that today is a much better day than yesterday. My DH still feels really bad about the whole situation, so as bad as it is, I'll try to milk that for all it's worth I know I'm bad...

So if you read through all of this, you rock. Thanks for listening to me rant and rave about my bad day. I promise, that will be the last rant for a while! I am bound and determined to have good days from here on out!

OMG, I'm so sorry you had such an awful day! First, getting a flat tire just plain SUCKs. I am the most paranoid driver you will ever meet, and it's all due to a flat tire I had while in college. Now if the car makes a SOUND, I am whining to DH.

And that stinks about your boss.. totally not fair. It's a temporary position anyway, and you will let them know when you had to leave due to another job. So weird how she bugged out about it!

And tons of HUGS about this cycle. I had a pity party for myself (by myself) this morning about the same issue. I'm still days from the witch, but reality sucks. This has got to end! And as for your insurance, you should be able just to call the insurance company and get your numbers. I've had to do the same thing before and hadn't had my cards yet. As long as they have the numbers, there shouldn't be a problem with setting it up. HUGS

That was a horrible day! Your boss needs to realize that you have to take care of YOU....if she is upset about losing you, she needs to find a way to keep you there fulltime!

[SavaAngel]

I am so sorry you had an awful day. How grown up of your boss - I think my almost 3 year old would respond better than that, LOL!

I had a flat tire when AJ was a baby on our way home from the pedi and I stopped at the store and noticed the flat tire when I came out. I call DH and he comes and changes it - and if I remember correctly it was REALLY HOT outside! I haven't changed a tire since HS when I had to learn how to do it in Auto shop class.

I am so sorry about AF, your insurance, all of it. We had to wait an extra month for the HSG because of the insurance too. It sucks. I hope you get your cards Monday! Make the most of your weekend and soak up all of the sympathy from DH!

[snsgirl336]

Thanks ladies! It's so nice to have you girls here to come to. I can't tell you all how much I value your friendship and appreciate you!

The tire has been replaced (bye bye $$$) and DH and my FIL are putting it on as I type. I vented to my MIL about it all (except the AF thing) and she just defended her son (who neglected to have the tires aligned a few months ago after hitting a pot hole and having the tire repaired- and then drove the car over 1200 miles to go to a re-enactment on the mis-aligned tires). I didn't want to hear it so I politely told her that this could probably have been avoided and walked away.

I never thought about trying to just get the numbers for our insurance. Thanks for that suggestion Jackie! I'll try to call later for that and maybe I can call my Dr Monday to ask about it! You've given me some new hope!

I think I need a nice cold beer and some food and tylenol. I have a killer headache and since AF is likely making her appearance, I might as well drown my sorrows with an icy-cold beer. Maybe it'll make this "I wanna just burst into tears" feeling go away.

[Soape]

You poor thing. THat is a horrible day!!! I really hope that you only have good days to come. I hope that you can get the HSG scheduled for this cycle.
P.S. I wouldn't have gone into the gentlemans place either!!!

[KDD]

I'm sorry you had such a crappy day. Why is it that when you're having a bad day, things just seem to snowball from there?

Enjoy your cold beer (or two)!

[snsgirl336]

Thanks girls! I had myself my good cry and now I'm feeling a bit better... DH was scared when he looked at me and I just let it all come out. Poor guy tried to cheer me up, but he doesn't realize that sometimes I just need to have a sad minute or two. I think he gets it now though.

Kim- it's so true that when one thing goes wrong, it definitely snowballs from there!

Amanda- I have to admit, I honestly thought about heading into the Gentlemen's Club (I think it was named "Double Vision" ) to use the bathroom (and check it out), but after I snapped back into my senses, the tall reeds on the side of the road looked more inviting. I ended up holding it though.

I can't wait to have my beers!!!!

[Ash]

Cris, you totally deserve a few beers! I am so sorry you had such a rough day. Geez...totally sucks!

I have to admit if I had to go bad enough, I probably would have gone in the gentleman's club!!

[snsgirl336]

Yeah Ash- if I were really desperate I would have gone in the gentlemens' Club, but I wonder if they actually have Ladies Restrooms there?!?!? LOL

My beer was good (even though I only had one ) and I'm feeling sooo much better today!

[LisaBrown]

What a day!! I'm catching up on threads when I saw yours...OMG your day was horrible! Your boss sounds like she's a bit jealous of losing you, so I agree she should hire you permanently or get off her high horse and let you go look for another job as you had discussed when you started there...geeez! And on top of that, getting a flat tire is the worst!

And I know what you mean about DH freaking when all you need is a good cry...mine does that too! He hates seeing me cry, so he tries to stop me from crying and make me feel better, but I try to explain to him that sometimes, the only way to stop a girl from having a bigger meltdown later is to let her cry a bit now.

I hope you bad days are done for a long while!!!

[snsgirl336]

Thanks Lisa! I hope that we ALL see nothing but great days from here on out!

[~Lynda~]

oh man cris, that sucks!!! i'm glad you are more level headed than me, cause i would have ripped DHs head off for not knowing where the spare was!!!! it's bad enough to get a flat tire, but then to not be able to fix it is adding salt to the wound!!! what a day, glad that's over and on to better one's!!!! i'm sorry about AF!! she sucks so bad, i can't even verbalize it anymore!!! HUGS to you girl!!!

[snsgirl336]

Thanks Lynda! Yeah, that was a day that I don't want to relive! And I made sure that DH knew it! LOL
