Pretty Much the WORST day ever.

It started bright and early.  I woke up so that I had plenty of time to get ready and get the girls ready so we could make a good go at things,... My friend Brittany(who hosted a FABULOUS Halloween Party) called and asked if she could borrow some of my cake decorating tips.  Sure thing!  So I set out on the quest of a life time to find the those dumb little things.  She gave up on me after an hour.  An Hour of SEARCHING while dealing with miss attitude of America SCREAMING at me about nothing.(someday I will have a brain and be organized, or have a brain and remember something)  Anyway,.... I felt super bad.  So the girls and I were ready, got the girls all buckled in the car, had my list of errands to run, and determined to find the sweetest Halloween costume available.

Turn the key,........

nothin.

grrrrr. (there is NOTHING more frustrating to me than a car that won't start and being stranded)

So I decided that I would push the car out of the garage and run down and have a neighbor jumpstart Shaneequa.

It took a bit of effort to get good ole Shaneequa movin, I was workin up a sweat.  I knew once I got the back wheels out of the garage that we would be smooth sailin'.  Well,.........  Note to self:

-When parked on the left hand side of a double car garage door,... do not attempt to push car out of garage  with the drivers side door open.  This equals disaster.

The car is rollin and I suddenly realize,......... Ahh freak,.. the door is open, I still need to get IN the car and CLOSE the door.  Too bad that thought came as the door caught on the side of the garage.  LUCKILY I was able to reach the break before the door completely folded open.

So there I sit, in my car, with my foot on the break, BAWLING, and then trying to push the car back into the garage,.. which would mean that I needed to push the back end of a 2 ton Sequoia UP HILL into the garage.  I was FREAKING OUT, bawling, and I couldn't reach my phone.

An awesome neighbor of ours saw my distress of desperately trying to push Shaneequa back into the garage and came to my rescue.  I'm pretty sure he thinks I am the biggest idiot in all the world.

After over 2 hours of him trying to help me(including using his Cobra) to try and jump start Shaneequa, I sent him home, and called AAA.

Pull out the AAA card, and low and behold, the card is in Peter's name and they WILL NOT come help me until Peter is THERE.  (so stupid)  So Peter spends an hour on the phone to get me added to his card, and then another hour until they would arrive.  So I pull the kids out of the car, and let them play in the yard.  Well Chloe had something Bailey wanted and Bailey decided she was going to get it back from her.  So Bailey chases after her poor little sister,...... And what happens when you chase an 18 month old?  Well,.. they run as fast as they can, away from you, and where did Chloe run?  Down the hill.  And then what happened?  Her oversized head went faster than her feet, and she face planted in the street.

Then I screamed, really loud, then we went in and cried.  A lot.

(another note to self-Never EVER EVER go on Birth Control Pills, no matter what! They make you CRAZY)

Then AAA Saved us and gave me a new Battery.

Then I didn't have time to get a costume,.. just enough time to make it to Peter's Office to Trick or Treat, come home and leave for our wicked awesome Party that Peter(I mean 3-legged Jake) was the star of.
So I went as Facebook,... ie,... wrote the word Book on my face,.. it's a classic one.

Then I went to bed, hoping for a better day the next day, cause it was a HORRIBLE day.

The End.
