Oh Crap! – Musings of an Unperfect Mommy

The Incredibly Frustrating Day of Bullshit

September 29, 2015

NOTE: I wrote this July 2014 but never posted it. I figured it was too angry, angsty, whiny, whatever. I’m going to post it today as kind of a journal entry for me – you know, like, “Dear Diary: It was a real shitty day today”. Anyway – read if you want but you have been warned. I’ve changed the names of the guilty parties because I always fear backlash. Yeah, really not brave.

Okay, let’s take it from the top:

1. Big Box Store – Went into the store and what did I see? One of the employees sitting in a box of watermelons sorting them out. Yes, that’s right – IN THE BOX. My stomach lurched. I wanted to get something in the school supply aisle – it was blocked because they were stocking the shelves. Never mind.

2. Coffee Shop – Went in drive thru as always and ordered two drinks and two pastries. Well, the guy had to ask me to repeat my order 3 times! Too bad I couldn’t have escaped the line right then and there – never a good sign. I get up to the window, I pay, my drinks are done quickly. Just waiting on the pastries. Waiting, waiting. She says it will be a couple minutes. Waiting, waiting. That’s when I hear her tell the guy she needs the pastries – she doesn’t even have them ready! REALLY PEOPLE?? Then it’s, “can you pull around and we’ll bring them right out”. Now, I have a huge 20 foot long van, and their parking lot is really, really small so I can’t really do that. Okay, I thought, I’lld find a parking spot – no luck – it’s packed. My only other option was to leave so that’s what I did. Leave. Without my pastries that I paid for. Just wait ’till I get home. (Note – I sent a complaint letter when I got home – this is the third time they’ve messed things up THIS MONTH).

4. Unload to my husband – bad idea.

5. Go to library and bookstore with the girls – at least that was a good trip. Then I remember, Oh yeah, need to go pick up my meds at (name and address witheld). The ones I called in last night and I wanted them ready at 9am today…

6. Big Chain Pharmacy – There’s a problem with your prescription. Oh, here it comes again – they flag it because they want to make me aware there’s a generic. They’ve told me this every time I need a refill and I’ve told every time I don’t want the generic. It’s been going on this way for two years! That hurdle jumped, they can’t find my prescription! Remember it was supposed to be ready at 9am – it is now 4pm. “Just a minute we’ll fill it for you”. I don’t have time! I have 3 kids with me as you can see so I’ll come back tomorrow. Which I won’t. I’ll just transfer my damn prescriptions and never deal with you people again. I’m almost in tears – again – on the drive home.

And now it’s 4:30pm and I’m tired and my family is expecting food which I do not want to cook so I send husband out for burgers and “cook” frozen sweet potato fries at home (cuts down on the cost of eating out you know).

Oh, and I forgot – earlier this week our washer decided to die. Lots of smoke and nasty smells. So, I called the place where we bought it and guess what? The warranty expired. So, it’s laundromat time again until I can get someone out to get it fixed. And with 8 people in the house it just isn’t easy.

So, I don’t want to hear about anyone’s damn vacations to wherever or how much fun you’re having over the summer because I’m not. Hell, we’ve never had a vacation in 30 years of marriage. Never. I’m trying really hard to offer it all up and it’s getting really difficult. So, God, Jesus, Mary, St. Jude, St. Martha, and St. (in my book anyway) Evelyn Ryan – I’m begging you – we need serious help here!!

Phew – that’s all folks. Until tomorrow with my rant about why I’m not on Facebook anymore.

As an update: We did get the washer (and dryer) fixed fairly quickly. I did complain to Coffee Shop and they sent me coupons and also told me that the higher ups and the local manager would be told. Bahahahaha! As for Pharmacy, we ended up going somewhere else due to husband’s insurance changes, so that’s where we go now for our prescription needs. Unfortunately a family member’s medical problems that started last summer escalated this summer so two summers in a row that haven’t been any fun. Le sigh.

Walmart, Starbucks, BPL, Hastings, Walgreens, and I suspect Lowe's. Okay, I outed everybody so you don't have to :D. I did appreciate the SpongeBob nod, though.
