It was a three-chocolate-bunnies kind of day…
Over at Kelly’s blog, she mentioned her company gives out Lindt chocolate bunnies. Today in my box I found a Take Five candy bar, which was nice, but it was one of those days when I would like to crawl inside my filing cabinet in a fetal position and stuff my mouth with jelly beans.
Let’s see…where to begin?
1. School politics and lesson plan minutiae and why not putting checked boxes makes you a lesser teacher than a teacher who does put checked boxes in her plans. Because clearly if you don’t have boxes checked for every blessed thing, you are a SINNER. 
2. Discovering that my grocery list fell out of my pocket and I had no clue what I had to buy.
3. Turning around in the freezer aisle to see my two-year-old topless and swinging her shirt around her head. “Funny, Mommy!” she shrieked. 
4. Picking up panini and pasta as a special treat for dinner, only to find that it tasted AWFUL and had to be thrown away. 
5. The aforementioned daughter thought it would be even funnier to dump her water all over herself and the floor.
6. Eating macaroni and cheese instead of a spiffy Italian supper. 
7. Bathing and putting the kids to bed while hubby is playing softball. We offered to come watch the game and he declined. “No, honey, that’s okay. It’s nothing much to watch anyway.” Yes, I know the truth. He is reveling in his child-free glory.
I do believe there is a Cadbury’s Creme Egg somewhere with my name on it. I shall sacrifice it to the gods, and perhaps my day might just get a little better. I’m also reading Amy Knupp’s Superromance Unexpected Complication. Amy, I’m on page 82 and it’s YOUR FAULT that my kids received an inadequate bath and will likely have dental problems because I did a lousy job supervising their tooth-brushing. Man. It just HAD to be a catchy, hooky sort of book.

Hey, if they got some parts wet, that’s all they need.
If I was a kinder person I would apologize for the catchy hooky sort of book. 
Thanks so much for the mention!
As for the rest of your day, I will offer oodles of sympathy on that!
April Alsup Says:
Huggs on the crappy day! Hope the Cadbury egg went peacefully and without much resistance… And I hope your Friday and weekend make up for it all!
Peggy Says:
When my hubby played softball, he used to say the same thing. Hmm.
Hope your day improves.
beth Says:
Ugh. Politics. One of the primary reasons I no longer teach. (That and parents.) Big hugs - hope the chocolate helped!
Crystal* Says:
I will gladly offer to send more Cadbury eggs if you feel the need to make a sacrifice. Can’t have you going without the eggs.
Sorry the day was so wearing. Obviously you need a “softball” day or something.
And Amy! Dang her! I know! I’m picking up her book and have scheduled nothing that day.
Grins*
Tori Lennox Says:
*hugs* I think you deserve more than three chocolate bunnies!
Robyn Says:
Hugs, my friend. I told hubby to pick me up chocolate of any variety the other day, and he brought me back a bag of Lindt truffles! He was shocked when I hugged the stuffing out of him.
Melissa Marsh Says:
Wow, Michelle, definitely sounds like a chocolate sort of day!
Rene Says:
You slug down the candy, you certainly deserve it. I’ve had those days too. DH has pulled the same stunt.
Bonnie Ferguson Says:
(((Michelle)))
Olga Says:
Lots of hugs, and I hope your day improves, too. From my experience, chocolate can help sometimes!
Stacy Says:
(((Michelle)))) Sometimes getting lost in a book and a bowl of chocolate is the only way to make those days go away.:chocolate:
Bren Says:
Sorry your day was so bad. Hopefully today makes up for it. When I have a bad day that’s exactly what I do. Get lost in a wonderful book and eat stuff I shouldn’t. It feels great!
