Ever have one of those days....
Last week there was one of those days where everything just goes wrong. It started off with my daughter being sick and throwing up. She's in our bed watching cartoons and weakly asks me to get her clothes. Her clothes are in the bottom drawer so I just sat down on the floor to get closer. After selecting some clothes I got up and then realized that I had just sat in some "Puppy presents". After grumbling and change of clothes it was time to give some meds. I use a medicine syringe which you can draw the amount of meds needed and just squirt into the kids mouth. Nice 'n easy right? Well not today, somehow the syringe got clogged and the squirt turned into an explosion of pink, sticky, gooey medicine all over the both of us. Then my washing machine started having Grand Mal Seizures and was afraid it'll fall thru the old floor. The knob on the dryer broke off and I ended up having to play "dryer cycle roulette" with a pair of pliers. "Come on gimme Permanent Press....ohhhhh". The pliers slipped off and pinched the hell out of my thumb which I was using as a feeler guide. And last but not least, I was replacing a toilet paper roll and of course when you open a new package to take one roll out, the roll next to it has to jump out too. After setting up the first roll, I got down on my hands and knees to look for the escaped roll. Couldn't find it 'til I got a gut feeling to look in the toilet bowl. There it was, sinking as it absorbed all the water, I put my head down and let out a groan. My daughter comes in and says "Are you sick too Mommy?" "No, but lets both take a nap eh?"

Just like Alexander in his book, you had a terrible, horrible, no-good, very bad day. Yep. We all get 'em. Hope your nap helped. ;)
Well written and witty post.

Being a mom of little kids not too long ago, I laughed till I cried over your blog. How true! You have the talent of Erma Bombeck and Betty Macdonald in sketching the humorous side of routine. Kudos!
Poor things, you have had bad day with your kid became sick.
It is true, I have been sick with flu like 4 time in 3 months. It was horrible time for my kids and myself. Not always helpful for nap with a flu like symptoms.
No fun!!
