The cat has a a urinary tract infection, but the vet can’t see him until Wednesday.
Interesting factoid: Cat’s with urinary tract infections like to pee in your clean laundry basket.
I am now serving (in a involuntary capacity) as the go-between for my doctor’s office, our health insurance company, and the great state of New York, all in an attempt to unravel the tangled web of insurance codes and submissions that they haven’t been able to resolve. Since January.
Interesting Factoid: the insurance billing and coding has absolutely nothing to do with logic, accounting, or the laws of physics.
My adorable two year old son decided that a jar of buttons would be much more interesting dumped all over the family room floor. Twice.
Interesting Factoid: You can let a little boy run around the backyard for two hours totally nude, but he doesn’t need to pee until the moment he enters the house and sees a pile of bright shiny buttons on the living room floor.
How’s your day going?
UPDATE: since I pressed “publish” I have signed for a package wearing the my pajamas (at 3:30 in the afternoon), the Little Man took off his diaper during his nap and then pooped in his crib (much to his horror), and the dog threw up on my shoe.
I kid you not.

Oh you poor thing. I hope your day gets much, much better!
I would love to say my day is better, but I am procrastinating figuring out what to do to clean out the entire glass of iced tea that my daughter spilled into my pocketbook this morning.
Yep, sounds like a Monday. Oh, mine…. I blew up a $30K radio 10 minutes before the customer walked in to watch a verification test. I am hoping that is as bad as it gets today.
Hi Sharon -
At least you can jest about your Monday. I think of the old song by the Mammas and the Papas from the 60′s. Monday Monday, you can’t trust that day. Hopefully next Monday will be a stellar one for you, since today pretty much was one you hope to forget.
Please forgive me, friend, for chuckling. I know those days can send you into the depths of despair, to quote a favorite heroine of mine. I hope the throw-up shoe was a yucky gardening one and not a church or date night one!
Go to bed early and sleep long and hard! You’ll feel so much better tomorrow!
Oh my dear sweet friend, this is just way too much for anyone to bear in a day.
Sharon, I’m so glad you’re laughing at things that aren’t laughable on a Monday. (at least I assume you’re laughing somewhere deep down there.) I struggle to see the humorous side of life. Just the ability to poke fun at something that is exasperating me always helps. I really enjoy reading your blog!
Oh my gosh! Your Monday totally stinks! I’m so sorry! I hope tomorrow is better for you.
Your blog ALWAYS makes me smile! Thank you!
But sorry your Monday was so incredibly crummy…
Well, things can only get better from here, right?!? Good luck on a better week!!
Oh no…so sorry to hear this girl! Hope you will have a better brighter day
Ohhh Sharon! It’s now Tuesday and I am just now reading your post. I have to admit that I giggled through your whole post…..only because I GET IT!!!! I have had days that sound more like a make believe story (joke) rather than “my life”. Maybe not this week…but you will giggle about it too in the near future. Praying that today will be a little bit of redemption for you and that cutie little guy of yours. (Just wondering….what did Nature Boy have to say about all these adventures?)
I’ve had days like that before…just remember…it will be funny one day, if not today.
Wow! I must say, you made me laugh. One of those days! Here’s hoping it got better!
Oh no! That is just terrible! I know what you mean though, sometimes it feels like nothing else could go wrong. Hope today was better for you!
I think that wins the prize for “post with the most bodily excretions in the wrong places.” But I love the button segment. We had (past tense) a cat who urinated in toy boxes and in the corner where all of the paint cans are stored, among other places. When we got rid of her, I was so delighted to wash up all those paint cans and replace the remnant of carpet in my laundry room. Best to you today as you take your kitty to the vet and find some relief for him (and you!)
There is only one good thing about all those bad things happening. You get to write an awesome blog post about it and generate lots of traffic. I am off to twitter about your post.
Blessings
Honey
ROFLOL I’m so sorry, but I’ve had days like that too. And only other mothers would understand. Laugh or you might cry
