I Hate Days Like This...

I hate days like this one (I guess I am speaking of yesterday now, seeing that the time is almost 12:30 am).  12:30?!  Are you kidding me... I am always in bed by nine.  I cannot function if I'm not, this pregnancy just totally wipes me out.  So, what am I doing up at this late hour?  Writing a post.  Why?  Because I CANNOT FALL ASLEEP NO MATTER WHAT I TRY!  Not only does this pregnancy make me tired, it totally makes me sick.  I am sitting here with the overall feeling that I need to puke my guts out in the toilet, but I haven't yet.  The feeling won't let me eat, and it most certainly won't let me sleep.  So here I type.  I must warn you, this post probably won't be very cheerful.  I'm in quite the mood right now.  When all the house is quiet with everyone sleeping except myself, I can't help but feel jealous and downright moody.  I know that in about six hours, I will be required to be a mom and wife and doing so without sleep just doesn't sound like much fun.  Plus, today (yesterday if you're going to be picky) was the worst day ever.  I can't wait for it to get over, if only I could sleep to end it all.  A rotten way to end a rotten day I guess. 

So, I have had to get my car registered and emissions tested since I have been in Ohio.  Everytime I try, I get set back.  Ohio government is stupid.  Their websites don't ever correlate to what they really mean and I am left driving all over town as a result.  Today was no exception.  I was sent to four different places before being told that nothing could be done for me because my title was not notorized and AZ law (not Ohio law) requires the title to be notorized.  That's a problem when you're no longer living in AZ.  Anyway, I will spare you the boring details.  Just trust me that it was frustrating. 
Then, today was supposed to be a "free" day at the zoo.  So, I drove the half an hour to get there.  And my kids were way excited.  We get there and find out that it isn't free unlike what their website says.  BOOooo!  Well, since we drove there, and since the kids were excited about going, I paid the 17 dollars to get in.  It made me want to vomit.  It's not like we're rolling in the dough here and so I kept telling myself that we couldn't afford it and had a hard time having fun.  We leave the zoo a couple of hours later and my car is making the loudest, most awful noise ever.  Of course if I was able to have gotten my emissions tested earlier in the day (instead of being told I couldn't) I would have passed with flying colors.  But now there's this problem that has to be fixed.  I'm not sure what's wrong.  My brother in law said that it sounds like there's an exhaust leak somewhere.  I had a melt down and cried until my eyes were red (and black from my mascara).  The point is, I had had it and was in no mood for car trouble.  We made it home (thankfully) with my hazard lights on... I refused to be stranded in down town Cleveland with two kids at night time. 

And now it is almost one in the morning.  I think I need to try sleeping again.  Here's to a better day tomorrow, if I can somehow find the needed energy to get through the day.
