So how did your day go???

Uhhhhh.......
I'm sure my day started at midnight with tossing and turning.
Woke up to the way too early alarm clock telling me to get ready for my yard sale and realized my headache hadn't gone away that I went to sleep with.
Heard the rain and stayed in bed a lot longer.
Forgot about my yardsale until I got a call at 8:30 saying "open your garage, people are still coming by".
Called my Mom to complain about it raining on my yardsale day (because who else am I going to complain to?) and forgetting to wish her a Happy Birthday instead!!! So sorry Mom!!! Happy Birthday!!! You're the best!!!
Manning the garage for 7 hours with little food and crying over things that ended up in the yardsale that the kids weren't ready to part with (even though they haven't played with them in over a year). They were suppose to be at their soccer games all morning but those were canceled do to the rain and thunder storms.
Packed up a truckload of unwanted and unsold items.
Counted my money, not too bad for a day of down-pour.
Spent an hour putting together a train set that took up my entire living room floor because I promised I would if the kids were good and finished their chores, yada yada yada.
Helped my Mom fix up her RS newsletter (anything else I can do for you on your birthday?)
Made dinner out of what little we had in the house.
Returned a movie that I didn't have time to watch.
Rushed into the bank to find that I'm just a little too late.
Unloaded the truck at Goodwill.
Found out that my Grandma is in the hospital again with heart problems. Wondering if she'll make it to June when we are planning to go down to So Cal for a visit.
Wandered through Wal-mart like a zombie trying to find everything on my list.
Waited 20 minutes in line because someone didn't read the fine print on her coupons.
Dropped off a primary manual to a sub for Sunday.
Rushed in to help put the kids in bed.
Unloaded the groceries from the truck and put everything away.
Johnny is still crying half an hour later about wanting a new "Cowie" doll because his is missing an eye. Interesting that he picks tonight for the tantrum since Cowie's eye has been missing for at least 6 months.
I'm still trying to figure out if this was really just one day or two because I feel like I haven't slept for a couple of days.
Next on the list? A long hot bath, some pain killers and a box of good n plenties.
That should do the trick.
