I hope tomorrow is better.... but I have only a little hope :)

This was the only face that seemed happy today! I usually look to see if a full moon is coming when my day is bad . Today was one of those days , that you hope will end quickly.  I felt like everything was going wrong almost as soon as I woke up and it all went down hill from there . Of course  the weather was crappy, ice and rain making it hard to walk. I had so many errands and failed at most. The lyrics from a Monkee song rang out in my head.."I guess I should of stayed in bed, a pillow wrapped around my head, instead of waking up to find a nightmare of a different kind !" I know the song is about his girl leaving him but I love those couple of lines!.It just so fit my morning.

It started with going to get fingerprinted for my new job. before school  program at the school I  work at. It's only two hours a day twice a week , but I might be able to do some fill in work also.Because the program is not run through the school but through an independent agency I have to get a background check done all over again. 

I started off by slipping off my front steps, didn't fall. Got in the car. Went back in the house to get the registration sticker for the car that was on the desk in the living room,but it wasn't there. No time to waste I 'll look for it later,  it's later I looked. It's nowhere. Damn!

I go to Hempstead and know about where to look for the fingerprint office. The parking lot is an ice skating rink! I am walking across the lot in the icy rain and start looking for 236 Fulton ave. What a pain n the butt! Most of the buildings have no numbers. Two of the buildings look like offices. I know their suite 222. I go in the first building and there is a small coffee/news stand the size of a closet but I am hoping this is the building as I walked the length of the block ans did not find the number. Two men were blocking the little coffee stand and so instead of waiting I go into the small elevator. I get out to look for 222 and the last office is 217. Back to the elevator. It was a little creepy because most of the offices were not rented yet, it was not a new building but n old one that looked like it was cheaply refurbished . The names of the occupants were  taped to the doors. there seemed to be no one else on the 2nd floor but I felt like I was being watched. 

I go back to the lobby and reach in my pocket to call the number of the fingerprint place. Walk ever so slowly to my car . I left my phone in the car. All this has taken 15-20 minutes already!. So I call and the person on the phone is not from the Hempstead office she just makes appointments. I am walking back towards the block again when she asks me if I was near Chucky Cheese. UH..NO! I am on Fulton Avenue near number 150! Is there a direct number that I can call to find out what the building their in looks like or what the sign out front says??? What they are next to? 30 minutes have passed now and I am so frustrated!  They are on the corner of Fulton and another street. Back to the car .I now want to find the other street, Franklin Ave. So I go in the car and realize that is the corner that I had walked to . No number on the Fulton side and the sign says MORTGAGES . When I go to the Franklin Ave side there's the number  I was looking for! This is after I parked a block away. I go up to 222. The girl working there says is anyone here for finger prints? I gave her my ID and did not realize I had taken my old SS. card with my maiden name. Damn! I sad will you accept my licence and my work ID? She said "I'd have to look at it " it was in the car. " But you are 15 minutes late for your appointment so I can't help you now!". There was no one else waiting.Damn. Seriously?? Going in the elevator as I am getting off two guys are getting in reeking of pot and piss! Oh, did I mention this is not a great neighborhood?

I run and get everyone coffee and Bagels on the way home. My husband is grouchy for reasons unknown to me. I drop the food on the counter and have to  clean up dog puke ! Damn! It was the dog I take care of sometimes . EeeW! 

I was hoping to have time to run to pick up a paper from my doctors office before work but Nope out of time. I go right from work to the doctors . By 2:30 I am mad sad tired and want to vent to someone. My daughter doesn't feel like hearing it . My husbands bug is still up his butt. But my dog is happy to see me! I can always count on the dog! His wagging tail . He doesn't know how my days been but he missed me. He cheers me up a little bit. 

I thought I  could take a nap, but then I had to take my daughter to the train so she could get to work. I am so tired. Now I am waiting to pick her up.then I am going to go to sleep.Feeling sad. I hope tomorrow is better.
