When you call your boss at 3:30 and scream, "I WANT TO GO HOME AND DRINK!" it's never a good sign. That's the kind of day I had today. And yes, I did actually do that. Both I mean. Called my boss and screamed that, and actually went home and drank.
I knew it was going to be a long day, but I honestly had no idea it was going to be as stressful as it was. I didn't even make it home in time for yoga class (and tonight was the LATE class). I ended up driving almost 300 miles, and before I returned home I had visited FIVE child care programs. Like on a normal day I visit one or two, and today I visited FIVE. And I had bad news to deliver to all but one.
I'm having to kick out two programs I actually really like. So that's breaking my heart. I delivered news to a third that I swear caused visible smoke to come out her ears. She wasn't mad at ME thankfully, but still, sucked to deliver news that upset her that much.
Then one of the programs, I couldn't even meet with the director because her daughter's house had just burned down. Like to the ground. Last night. The teacher who shared this with me was crying, and it made me cry.
I'm completely exhausted.
And grateful that I have a house. So, there is that.

5 people had stuff to say about this:
Not a good day! Hope today is better for you!
I hate having to deliver terrible news. Being the messenger sucks.
I'm so sorry. I hope today is better for you. Or, at least, that you didn't drink all the alcohol in case you need some tonight...
ugh... now that is a hard day... But, if it makes you feel better, I work in the alcohol industry and there is always booze around the office (as decorations) and one day my boss, knowing I was having a day from hell, told me to crack open a bottle. I didn't, but did go home and drink!
Wow. That does sound like a bad day! Here's to hoping for better ones in the future!
