Will This Day Ever End!!!

It has been a long time since I have had a day that I should not have gotten out of bed. Or I have and just didn't realize it. So on Tuesday my day starts with getting kids ready for school, making their lunches, piling in the van so i can drop them off at the school. I drop them off a little early before the buses come so of course i am in the bus line up but normally i am out of there right as they are coming so i don't get screamed at. So the kids pile out and we say our good byes and the VAN DOES NOT GO!! i should have known by this to just go home and go back to bed but of course i don't. My kids push my van out of the bus lane so i don't get screamed at by the school. I call BreAnna frantic to come help me, and then i call Tim. Tim tells me how to get it into gear and i take the van home. The transmission has been going out and i have been ignoring it because i know it is going to be expensive. I get the van home and park it and have BreAnna drive me to work. Now i start making calls on how much it is going to take to get the van fixed. Don't ask is all i can say. BreAnna picks me up and I take the van to the shop. It doesn't work half the time so i coast most of the way and get it to the shop just in time for them to close. I get home and something has happened to my computer, i cant retrieve nothing, Pictures gone! everything on it i cant get anything to come up so i call comcast because i think it has to do with macafee or something, i am on hold for EVER, i am making dinner, potatoes are bowling, meatloaf in the oven all set. I sit back down to the computer and Treavor tells me that he opened the gate outside. I tell him don't worry i will shut it latter, i am still on hold and still trying to figure out my computer. I get the Internet to come up but that is about it. about 1/2 hour or so goes by and i then tell Treavor to let the dog out. He does and of course i haven't shut the gate. HE GETS LOOSE ( i don't have a dog i have a horse) so i tell Breanna go get the dog i am on hold with COMCAST STILL. so she is running around trying to get the dog from the neighborhood. She comes back with his leash and his collar, no dog. I am still on hold and go outside to call the dog, he runs up to me and and of course takes off again in the wrong direction. Comcast finally picks up, and i start to tell her what is wrong with my computer and the kids are hollering that the dog is going crazy, Ok so i tell comcast i have to go because i have to go get the dog. I get into BreAnna's truck drive down call the dog, he gets in to the truck and i leash him up and go home. As i am walking through the house it is in golfed with smoke. HaiLee had dropped some grease on the stove and didn't get cleaned up very well i am assuming because the potato's are on fire. I yell at BreAnna to turn off the stove and get the fire out because i am trying to get the dog in the back yard, (gate now closed). I text Tim because he is at Football with TJ that dog is back home but now i have a fire!! Got the fire out and headed back to the phone to be on hold for ever with Comcast. After being on hold for EVER again and being told that they cant help me to call this number, that number which no one can speak English or help me. So i go to bed and call it a day!!! Thank goodness for my neighbor for lending me their car for a few days. With BreAnna's school schedule and work schedule and everything we are defiantly a 3 car family. Now if i can get help with my computer that would be great!! Any takers on that. :)
