How can a day suck so bad by 9 a.m.?

Jake had a hard time going to sleep last night and he was up several times.  We're both a little sick.  This morning he cried and cried because he didn't want to go to Nana's house (and he LOVES Nana's house.)  He pitched a fit when he saw me put Tylenol in his juice cup, so I had to pretend to pour it out an refill it.  I put sweatpants and a sweatshirt on him every morning so he's warm for the drive over (because it's pretty cold at 5:45 a.m.), and this morning Jake cried and cried because he didn't want the sweatshirt on.  He had a doggie on his shirt and he couldn't see it with the sweatshirt on and he was freaking out.  Finally I took off the sweatshirt and told him I didn't care if he froze.  (Aren't I a great mom?!)  It wasn't very cold today, and I did throw a blanket over him. 

He cried when we got to my mom's house, and I was running 10 minutes late from trying to deal with him.  When I got to work I had a bitchy e-mail in my inbox from a staff person who is trying to get around one of our policies and is mad because I won't let her.  I don't make the rules, I just enforce them and it's not my fault.  But I talked to our director about it, and thankfully he doesn't care that this lady thinks I was being rude (and I SO wasn't!!!) and he said he would go talk to her.  I got all the laundry done yesterday but it's not put away and that makes me crazy -- but Lou wouldn't help me with Jake so I could do it.  Lou is making me insane because his knee is fine now -- a little sore, but with the brace it's fine and he's off crutches -- and he's milking this injury for all he can get.  He didn't do the dishes ALL weekend, did nothing but watch football yesterday, and on Mondays he's supposed to take Jake to my mom's because that's the one morning of the week that he hasn't been at work the night before and I can get a tiny bit more sleep, but he said because of his leg he couldn't do it.  Whatever.  He tries to weasel out of it every week.  God forbid I get more than 5 hours of sleep in a given night when he gets 9.  AND I didn't have time for a shower today, AND I have a red zit on the end of my nose.  Lovely.  I don't think even chocolate can help me today -- at this point I'm just praying that tomorrow is a good day.  Sue, I am SO feelin' you today.
