It's been one long week

As my title says, it's been one very long week. Either Monday or Tuesday, my mom had to get the rental extended - yet again. I was supposed to babysit my niece and nephew Wednesday night into Thursday afternoon because of them getting out of school for the summer on Tuesday and their mom having to work. But when Wednesday night came around neither my mom or I had heard from her, until it was time for us to head out for music bingo. And by then, she and the kids were still at her brothers house, and had to go home and shower, eat, and pack their things. So she decided around 8pm that she wasn't going to bring them anymore. *Eye roll*. I honestly don't even remember what happened Thursday and Friday. And I remember like, everythingggg. Then Saturday was my daughters 11th birthday, which is always hard to deal with, obviously. But my mom went over to the grocery store to pick up our cake to celebrate her, while my cousin and Gabby came over to put some temporary purple hair dye in my ends.. but unfortunately the dye I got didn't work. When they left, mom and I put on our custom made shirts we got for the special day, and went outside to take some pictures in them. However, even with half the sky looking dark and it thundering off and on, the sun still shined right in our eyes - which the pictures show. Then my friend and her kids (my niece and nephew) came over to have some cake with us.. and the kids didn't listen at all. And my nephew thought he could waste the frosting saying that he doesn't like it, just because his mom did.. nope, not in my house. Especially since we know he does, since he's going on 9 and we've been in his life all these 9 years. Then when they left it was still half light out and hadn't thundered in 30minutes, so mom and I headed out to the movies, to see the new Toy Story. But 10-20 minutes into the movie you could hear it downpouring, and thundering. And then the power went out. Three minutes later the lights and sound came back on, but not the picture.. then five more minutes later the picture finally came back on, but the lights weren't shut back off - the whole rest of the movie. So that was mad annoying. Thankfully though, the movie was pretty good, and to me, way better than the third, which I didn't really care for. Plus the shirt on my grandfather I ordered for my mom, and the shirt I ordered for my friend @skydream came in and look so good. Sunday (Yesterday), was mine and the fiance's 9 year anniversary. And he wasn't here. As his guinea pig had been sick all week, and he didn't want to leave it while sick. Especially since his parents don't take good care of it when he's here, and his dad is allergic to the bedding they had switched to - because it is better for them and the vet told him he should. So he wasn't here.. and then he texted me early in the morning, that the guinea pig had died. And it was a Sunday so the vets office was closed. So Today (Monday), my fiance took the guinea pig to be cremated. And my mom and I had to get up early to run some errands. As we had to go pay the car payment that's due today, as well as go to the police station on the police report being wrong, as the officer never emailed my mom back about that. Which thankfully we were able to get the right information on a new report. But that doesn't even matter now anyways as the insurance finally has a copy of the report, and theirs says that my mom is at fault. So we now have to find a way to get $500, in two days, so that we can get our car back on Wednesday. Plus my anxiety as been all over the place, making it so that I've been sick to my stomach almost every morning for the last month. As well as my sleep not being good, but still being very tired even when it has been. And so much more. Ugh. I need a damn break!

I'm sorry things have been stressful and anxious on your end. The shirts came out great, and I'm glad you were finally able to watch Toy Story 4. I hope you can get your car back asap.
