Well, the week ended better

Wow, what a crappy week. Seriously.

Too many petty little things went wrong, and stacked on top of each other they were just about enough to make me pull my hair out.

Bruno was out of town.
James broke both pairs of his glasses.
The dog got into the trash too many times to count.
I decided to teach my cat (who craps in the sink) a lesson and caught him in the act. Brilliant thinking on my part made me rub his nose in it. Only to find it was all liquid and I had just smeared him full of it. So, the next 2 hours were spent cleaning cat diarrhea off every surface of my house.
Busses were late.
Someone *ahem* wet the bed twice, managing to pee past their pullup.
I forgot to tell the after school program James had an eye appt, assuming school would tell them since I took James out of school early for it. Nope, and the cavalry was called out and ~8 people were to the point of calling the police (I wasn't picking up my cell because we were in the Dr's chair).
Thursday was picture re-take day so I went to school to see if I could help get Darby to look at the camera. They did the retakes on the stage of the gym, w/a PE class going full force. Darby couldn't focus in all that noise, so the para-educator asked the PE teacher to make his class quiet down and wait. So, while a whole slew of 2nd graders listened in, I made the stupidest noises you can imagine (tongue out, shaking my face kind of noise) to get Darby to look. She finally did, and gave us a 'Mona Lisa' half-smile and I called it quits. The 2nd graders burst into giggles and I left school as quickly as I could.

Everything from running out of stamps to needing to make Cory's lunch and finding the bread completely green happened this week.

Then...

*drum roll*

Friday, things picked up.

Bruno came home.
A friend I'd been worried about checked in and they are well. I'm still beyond annoyed, but happy they are okay.
Lenscrafters (after seriously chafing my backside w/lousy customer service) came through and James now has 2 pairs of glasses and I got a $70 refund
Sold a huge desk out of our garage off of craigslist
Got the wrong pizza when I picked up our order but it was way better than what I ordered.
Made it to Jazz every day this week, even with how crazy it was.
Spent 1.5 hours on the phone with my sister because she's so excited to see me in a week (I go to AZ)

All in all, I'm glad the week is over--and overjoyed it ended on a high note.
