Have you had one of those days?
Where you feel totally wrong with the attire you’ve put on only because the earlier one you picked out the night before was wrong and as a result, you hurriedly chose an assemble in the early morning which is still totally wrong.
Where you look in the mirror throughout the day and your hair is not quite right and you thought it’s due to the bad haircut only to realise that you’ve used the wrong hairdryer in the morning and only then you realised that you’re having a bad hair day.
Where it is that time of that month when you’re bleeding like a stupid swine but still have to work one full day with your feet on the ground.
Where you realise some people are not receptive to what you’re saying because the information is too high level for them and they only have their low level mentality plus their stupid boss who nominated them to blame.
Where you are struggling to smile and grit your teeth at the same time because your damn feet hurts from the stupid shoes you’re wearing and you realised people are checking out your toes and you wonder if it’s because the colour is wrong.
Where you have to lug a few big bags and still struggle to take the public transport because you hate taxis all of a sudden.
Where you’re smack in the middle of a train with a few dozen people but have no one to talk to because you don’t know any of them and they smell like crazy cows to you anyway.
Where you come back home to realise that you have no dinner only because you cleverly ask the maid not to cook your meal early in the morning before you left for work.
Well, that was my gloomy day. An average day gone not quite wrong but neither right.
The only bright spark was coming home to a happy boy who greets me happily with a chirpy “mummy mummy” and babbling non-stop about cactus. And to be able to rant here in my private sanctuary listening to Michael Buble.
Wrong hairdryer? How many hairdryers have you got???
DR: I have two. One as backup in the other bathroom in case I wake up early and need to bathe and dry my hair without disturbing my son.

My sympathies. I have those days, except they’re not quite tough as yours, simply because I’ve got a lot less to deal with. Just two kids and a bad ass editing job. Oh, and a husband who thinks I can drop all to do errands for him. Yep, I know what you’re talking about.
Back to my bad ass editing job.
Hsin: The saving grace for us is that these do not happen everyday…

I perfectly understand your lousy day. Have been having that quite a few days lately, so I decide not to blog, cos I don’t really want to shout about my frustrations too much. But sometimes, it’s just horrible. And yes, the kids are my rainbow at the end of a lousy day, however tiring they may be.

don’t worry, things ain’t always as bad as it looks…..remember, everytime you think you are having a bad day, there is always someone much worst off than you….then you will feel a whole lot better!!!
Actually, that’s how I look at things these day!!!
