Ingredients for a really bad morning

[pegkerr]

Ingredients for a really bad morning:

A teenager who has not had enough sleep.

A teenager who thinks she can finish her paper on the morning that it's due.

A subzero coldsnap.

A teenager who refuses to wear her gloves because they don't really keep her hands warm enough. (Oh, so like, bare skin is better?)

An orthodontist appointment at 7:30 a.m.

A cross-town highway that is crawling at 5 miles per hour when the speed limit is 55 miles per hour.

A car radio that no longer plays The Morning Show but instead news reports about the terrible economy.

A jeep that reeks from last week's electrical fire.

A school start time of 8:30 a.m.

A teenager's messenger bag that manages to insinuate the bag's strap into the mechanism of the jeep's hatch, thus rendering it unable to open.

When you're kicking the jeep and bawling out of sheer rage and frustration before 8:45 in the morning, you know it's probably not going to be a very good day.

Teenagers and automobiles have a lot of things in common, not least that they are both hard to start on cold mornings.

I hope that your day gets better fast.

Wow. And it's not even Thursday. I hope your day improves. Immediately. *decisive nod*

I hope this was the frog and the rest of the day can't be anything like as bad. Really really hope. Because uff da.

*hug* And I thought my teenager and I were having a bad morning. :-( I wish you were not so winning this one.

Hang in there, mama. I hope your day gets better.

I sympathize and empathize. Especially on points 1, 2, and 4.

Sounds like a bad start to a bad day.

At least the radio/Morning Show problem is solvable in Theory...

GAH. Days like that, all you can do is keep your head down and try to live through it. *pets and offers tea with gingerbread scones*

It must be catching. Meg had a meltdown over wearing her coat this morning, because "it's too HOT."

Sounds like my teenager (who also won't eat an apple or a bowl of cereal or a peanut butter and jelly sandwiche because they "don't fill him up"). Best of luck!
