Ever had one of those days?

One that you want to go back to bed and start over? Yep. That would be today. It's not been a *bad* day, just one I'd rather do over. It started out this morning when I got up and realized it was freezing in the house. My wondeful husband went running yesterday afternoon and apparently turned the a/c on and didn't put the heat back on when he left the house for church last night. So, I wake up at 6 with it freezing cold. I figure out the problem and get the heat going. Thirty minutes later...the electricity goes out...just as I was about to step in the shower. So, I wait around and nada. I call the power company and report the outtage. I take a shower and get dressed in the dark. I get ready to take Andrew to daycare and head to work. Uh-oh. Garage won't open. I can't yank the door open either. Sooo, I move his seat from the van to Clayton's car. I defrost the windshield in Clayton's car. We head to daycare. Yeah, there's more. I'm driving along and notice that the transmission isn't shifting like it should. Drat. I finally make it to work and talk to Clayton around 9:15 or so. He knows the car is having problems. So? We'll put in a new engine/transmission sometime after Christmas. Or maybe before. Argh. I'd really like for him to have something newer to drive, but another car payment just isn't in the budget right now.
