It started with the alarm

I should have known when I woke up this morning to the alarm clock ringing on a day the kids and I could sleep in that the day was going to be bad. I wish I could have covered myself back up and went to bed. Soon after that my daughter was watching a movie and started messing with the buttons. I told her twice not to mess with the settings and she didnt listen. Then the tv wouldnt work right so I tried with the universal remote to fix it. It wouldnt work so I decided to just go buy a new tv. I'm taking the depo shot and its making my bi-polar medicine not work so I'm having a really hard time. I had to take double the dose which with the von willebrands disease I have will cause me to start bleeding. I'd rather bleed when I shouldnt then feel as horrible as I have felt lately especially today. I called the doctors office to get an emergency appointment to try switching to a bi-polar medicine that wont cause me to bleed. All I could get was the voicemail. I left a message and didnt receive a call back. My daughter got car sick as usual on the ride to get a new tv. I then wound up in an arguement with my closest friend pretty much all day and sit here crying my eyes out for the last hour at least. The only good thing about the day was that I got a new rug shampooer that I've been needing and I also bought a mop. I havent had a mop in years. I always wash the floors by hand but I've been lazy lately and would rather use a mop so I can quick wash all the floors with a mop everynight instead of like once a week like I have been doing when I wash the floors on my hands and knees with a rag and soap and water. My daughter had gotten a certificate for a free personal pan pizza at pizza hut for reading a certain number of books at school. Its called the book-it program. We went to pizza hut for dinner and my kids shared the personal pan pizza. They wound up being out of the small kids size so they gave us for free the next size bigger. While we were shopping I bought my kids a small present for each of them for being so grouchy today.

I wish I could be like that! That when I find something not working at home, I can just go ahead and buy a new one. Then I woulnd't have to contend with a broken TV in the kids room, or the oven with bake feature not working, or a van with a lot of things not working. Then I wouldn't also be a grouch most days!

I cant always just go buy something that is broke. I live off $400 a month that has to go towards bills first and then whats left over I can spend on what the kids need. I rarely spend money on things that arent neccessities so then when something like this comes up I have a little money to buy the things that I want.

I hope that you get your health situation resolved. That has got to be miserable. I recently bought one of those new Libman "Mops" that has a microfiber pad and it has an onboard tank. You put your cleaning stuff in it and squirt as much as you need. Scrub with the pad, and when it gets dirty, take it off and rinse it, or if it is really dirty, run it through the wash. I like that. Maybe someone can help you get your television back to normal as well. It is Wednesday, and where I live, a lot of doctors take a half day off on Wednesday or do clinics in other towns.

I checked out the mops like that today as well when I was buying the carpet shampooing machine. I didnt get a very expensive model just a bissell. It was like $99 I think. The mops like you are talking about they only had one in the aisle. I saw the bottom was attached with velcro and figured once the velcro things wore out it wouldnt work as well anymore so I figured I'd just skip that and spend the $9 on the mop that I bought.

Today is somewhat better. I'm not suffering with the bi-polar as badly today. I wrote an article about what happened today though. I bought the new tv last night and it wasent a tv at all it was a computer montior so now I have to go return it and buy a new one which will be more expensive I'm sure. Nothing could be as bad as yesterday though yesterday was horrible!
