Because, seriously, if it weren't for bad luck the past three days, I'd have had no luck at all.
To whit:
- I had "situations" with three kids and school counselors
- I forgot to buy one kid the medicine he needed before I left
- My husband locked his keys in his car at the same time that
- My garage door opener broke
- which lead to my son trying to fix it and deleting all the codes
- which lead to us all being locked out of the house
- which meant I had to leave work in the middle of the shift
- which lead to my breaking in the house so that my kids could get in later after I'd left on my trip
- in time to answer the ringing phone telling me of fraudulent charges on my Debit card
- which lead to my card being closed
- two hours before I left to go out of town with no time to get to the bank
- which meant that I was traveling with $22, no toothbrush, one pair of underwear and the wrong socks - I left from work with no time to remedy said situation
- during a flight that was delayed for five hours, including more than 2 hours on the tarmac and a cat fight between two flight attendants and a gate supervisor and the captain had to get involved
- and I got a migraine which had me throwing up during the event which must not be named on this site (but I'll blog about it this weekend on Scrutiny) and sleeping in the ladies bathroom - I am SUCH a GREAT GUEST. I had said migraine for almost 36 hours.
- which lead me to eat junk food since it was the only thing that looked good,
- which caused me - due to dehydration from vomiting, excellent pharmaceuticals, lack of sleep and no good foods, including no vitamins - to developing a monster cramp in my calf during a WONDERFUL Muay Thai class and forced me to step out for the entire second half.
- Which means I'm going to soak in a hot tub and go to sleep and hope to attract better juju through good dreams.
What a suck ass couple of days you have had!! Beats mine hands down. I'm just fighting a cold w/ a horrible cough and baby that won't be born. LOL

OK well I knew it probably wasn't all positive since you hadn't updated us in days....
but I was afraid maybe you were practicing your Hudson River landings-
so in COMPARISON, your two days+ of hell almost seems like nothing!
But upon further reading & the knowledge you're OK & alive:
OMG what a nightmare of a time you had!!!
I'm so sorry it turned out that way!
Hopefully you had a few positive glimmers in there somewhere!

Oh, my goodness! I'm sending lots of "good luck" prayers your way :)

Glad you're home. You can have that kind of grief with out the hassle of airports.

That's a blizzard of crap for sure! Wow, hope you get some rest and hydration and get back in your groove soon!

Damn, Girl; when you have a craptastic few days you really do it right! Hope things get better!
Posted by: AJMick | January 31, 2009 at 04:16 PM
Gee and I thought my past few days were bad! Sorry to read about all the crap you had to deal with. Hope all is well now.

random thought:
is it possible to put time stamps on this blog like you have on Elff?
Told you it was random! lol
Posted by: KG | January 31, 2009 at 07:29 PM
Oh wow! I think this week has been a very bad week for quite a few people! I am so sorry! I hope you're feeling better now!
Posted by: Melissa @ Heart Prints | January 31, 2009 at 09:06 PM
Wow. All of that totally sucks.
However. What I REALLY want to know more about is the flight attendant catfight. That sounds like enough entertainment to make up for a 5 hour delay.
Maybe.

Wow. That is all very sucky. I hope you are all doing better quickly.
However.
What I really want to know more about is that flight attendant catfight. It sounds potentially entertaining enough to make up for a five hour flight delay.
Maybe.

Too many non-country items in this list to make it as a song: migraine, muay thai, airplane. Tho' cat fight would work.
Posted by: patois | February 01, 2009 at 11:18 AM
Holy cow! Hope everything gets better quickly for you.
