You know your week is not getting off to a good start when:

- You awake to the booming sound of the trash truck.
- The concrete guys who are scheduled to fix the cracks in the patio arrive a half hour late: right about the time you need to head out the door for the morning school drop-off.
-You finally get everyone loaded in for school and can’t get out of your own driveway because those aforementioned concrete guys blocked your driveway with their big ‘ol truck.
- Your gas meter is on E.
-Your daughter looks at the new purse you bought yesterday and says, “Do you plan on actually using that purse?  What happened to the green one?”
- When you arrive at the school (after having been stuck behind the world’s slowest driver) you discover that your daughter’s lunch is still sitting on the kitchen counter.
-As you drive home you hear a bad groanish crackish noise when you turn the corner in your one-year-old Honda Odyssey.  You recognize the noise as one that you heard from the underside of the car as your husband rounded a corner over the weekend.
-Back at home you see that the concrete guys have already called it quits.  After one hour.
- You discover a voicemail message stating that the concrete guys can’t repair the cracks in the concrete until they investigate the cause of the newly-discovered buckling of said concrete.
-All that happens before 10 A.M.

It’s been one of those days my friends.  Hopefully this isn’t an indicator of the week to come.
