I've Angered The Universe

What a frustrating day. Ugh. One thing after another. Small annoyances snowballed into larger issues that left me feeling short, discontent and drained. Like, I'd been sapped of all my energy. I almost don't want to list all the annoying crap that happened, because really it's small shit and I don't want to revisit the negativity... but if I don't I won't have anything to talk about, because my entire day was basically just unfortunate shit. I've angered the universe, apparently.

This morning, Keenan took it upon himself to decide that he was going to stay home sick from school. Instead of coming and telling us that he wasn't feeling well, he hid under his bed and covered himself with stuffed animals. Snookums went in to check on him (to see if he'd left for the bus on time), didn't see him, and assumed he'd left for the bus. Then a couple hours later, he gets a phone call from Keenan's school saying that he's absent. We panicked a little. Until Snookums found him sleeping under his bed. Scared us half to death!

Right as this happened, Annie texted Snookums to come get her because her period started and she wasn't prepared. We've had this conversation so many times. At 17 she should have a handle on menstrual preparedness. She can't expect to be able to duck out of life every time her period starts. I don't get to leave work early, or call out sick. I'm sure for some women that's necessary, but it isn't in her case. Or mine. She just doesn't bother keeping supplies on her because she expects it to always be regular. That's not how uteruses work.

The only kid who seemed to have her life together was Kiki, and she got on my bad side for being all huffy with me because I wasn't home when she got home from school. She had a choir concert tonight and when she didn't see my car in the driveway, she automatically assumed I wasn't going to be home in time to take her. I was at the gym. That's all. She did calm down after that, though. I'll chalk it up to nervous energy, but I don't have any rationalization for Annie and Keenan.

I need to cut this entry short. I open tomorrow and it's already pushing 2am. I don't need to dwell on negative shit, anyway. I'm just gonna let it go... LET IT GOOOOOO (Frozen reference)!
