The dog was sprayed by a skunk this morning and the day has just spiraled downward from there.
DH got some really bad news today. I'm not comfortable sharing it, and everything will be okay in the long run, but the whole situation just really, really sucks. I was at his office today and the office moral was very low. Lots of tears. Needless to say, some people are just vindictive little assholes.
One of my children has had a really terrible start to the school year and we have to deal with that at the same time. School is so hard for him anyway and now he's lashing out with behavioral issues.
And I have a child that is dealing with a medical mystery and is missing school for medical appointments. He'll be fine academically, but he's going to have a lot of catch up work to do. We are hoping that whatever it is is easily treated.
I start a new job next week, after being out of the workforce for 16 years. So I'm feeling a little anxious about that as well. Even though it's a good thing.
And I can't call my mom and cry about any of it because we aren't sharing this kind of information with my dad due to past behavior on his part. I'm feeling a little overwhelmed right now.

Awwww... that's rough. I'm having an overwhelming time these days (though not nearly as many things though) so I understand that. Hope things even out for you soon.

The dog & skunk would be more than enough for me to need a few hugs. Everything else on top of it just stinks (pun not entended, but I'm leaving it in).

You have a lot going on all at once, I would be overwhelmed too! Never had an animal that got skunked but my son and his DW (girlfriend at the time) hit a skunk, by the time they got home they smelled so bad......... took forever to get the stink out of the car and out of them!
Good luck on the new job!!

Thanks so much Peas. I really just needed to get it all out. My best friend lives in a different state and I really wish I could just sit and talk with her. I know everything will be okay, and for the most part we live a really good life. It's just so many things happening all at once and it has thrown me just a little. Today was just a shock and a reminder that you can never get too comfortable. Life has a way of shaking things up.

The Peas will be where you can turn when other avenues aren't open. I hope one of those situations is resolved by the end of today and then you can at least that that burden off your mind.
Hugs.

Wow, that's an awful lot to be dealing with at once. Please try to take gentle care of yourself now, whatever that looks like for you. A bath before bed, a walk with a friend, whatever you need to do to decompress. SEnding you hugs.

UGH! You deserve a huge break today! and no, I don't mean McDonald's. You have a lot going on but seem to be taking it pretty well. I'm sure many of us would have gone screaming into the street. Take a moment to yourself and breathe!
