1. My mother-in-law, the diabetic alzheimer patient, bought a milkshake on the way home with her driver yesterday, then ordered a gigantic rootbeer float at dinner. I didn't hear her order it, but I did sit there and watch her eat it. Now she's too sick to her stomach to take her pills. Who could have predicted that?
2. Our exchange student is lying in bed, unable to go to school because her period is so incredibly painful. She's upset that I'm not buying this story--her illnesses are usually timed beautifully to match something happening at school or some responsibility she's blown off that we're about to learn about. I have no power over this situation, which makes it extremely frustrating, if you can't tell.
3. Baby, one of our cats, peed on the family room carpet right in front of my son. She's been checked for urinary issues, but apparently, this is just behavioral.
4. My son has begun reflexively answering, "No. I'm sure. I'm totally sure" to my daily "Do you have homework? Are you sure? Are you absolutely sure?" He finds the homework in the morning, just when he's supposed to be getting ready to go to school. Then he gets huffy and insulted when I check it and find errors.
5. My husband finally bought a toilet snake to deal with our perpetually clogged toilets, but never got around to actually using it. Now he can't find it.
6. My daughter hasn't ticked me off lately, but it's not even 10am yet.

Tough crowd. I would want to run away.
