Today was a tough day. To be fair, I knew that it was going to be a bit different because my hubby had to head out of town and I was preparing for three days of double parenting.
So it was all good until after lunch. I had an afternoon appointment (phone call only) that was supposed to be at 1:30. No problem! Well, until I was put on hold for the representative and 2.5 hours later still hearing "the calls are being answered in the order received, we appreciate your patience". OMG... OMG... the first hour was fine then my middle child came home and my well behaved three year old became not so well behaved.
Before I knew it - SNAP, CRACKLE, POP!! I don't think I have ever had such a meltdown so quickly. It may have been the terrible elevator music or could have been the fact that every four minutes the same recording came on the line requesting patience. Before I knew I knew it my voice was on a whole nother level and it was about to be on. Thankfully my daughter arrived home from school and was the breathe of fresh air. Usually it is my ten year old who makes sure I don't have a stress attack but today wasn't that day.
I love my kids. They balance each other out so well. And they don't hold it against me when I end up in some type of rage because it's not often that it happens. Or maybe it's love, I'm not quite sure.
I never did get through to the person I was on hold for all that time but did get a promise for her to call me directly tomorrow which is fine. I know that everyone has a job to do - I just wish that everyone felt that others time was just as valuable as theirs!! Sigh. Life.
