Today was one of those days where everything was going wrong for me. The whole entire day, it was thing after thing. It all started when I woke up. My mom and I had to go to get a rental car at the Toyota place in Sanford and the whole morning my mom bitched me out. It was one thing after another with her. It didn't matter what I said. According to her I had a bad attitude with her and everything I said was mean and nasty. I didn't say anything to her that was mean or nasty. If I came off that way, that was never my intention. As we were getting off the exit towards the car place, I asked my mom if she knew which way it was because I couldn't remember. She got mad and told me she didn't know, (even though she's been there at least twice). As we are almost there, she starts bitching about me asking her which way to turn off the exit. She said I asked her in a nasty, mean tone and that I was yelling at her. That was not true whatsoever. I never once raised my voice at her and I didn't say it in a mean way. As she got out of the car she told me "I hope you have a better day than the one I'm having." and slammed the door. I don't know what the deal was with her this morning, but she was not happy with me for some reason.
I ended up just dropping her off at the car place because I had to go get drug tested for my internship and was behind on my hours. I waited over an hour and a half to get drug tested, and came to find out I checked the wrong box on the sign-in sheet so that's why they never called me back. They apparently don't have a box for drug testing. I check the specimen drop off box thinking that meant drug test, but no, that means just dropping the specimen off not collecting it there.
So then I totally forgot about my volunteer ucf meeting at school. I was working on certifying a bunch of letters for a co-worker and forgot about the meeting. I get a call at 2:35 from my director, (the meeting was at 2:30), and I played it off like I was about to text her that I wasn't coming. It's just been so crazy these last couple of days. My schedule has been thrown off and I just completely forgot.
Then I got stuck watching two kids at work. They had gotten out of school before their mom was supposed to come to the office for their visit so they were stuck at the office. These kids were so loud. They would not listen to a word I said. They took off and started running around the building, screaming and yelling. The people I work with were getting mad at me because I couldn't control them. I was keeping them in the kitchen but they wouldn't stay. They kept taking off and running around the office screaming, and I couldn't get them to stop. I honestly don't know what I could have done to handle that situation better. Nothing I tried worked.
So then their mom finally came and it was time for their visit. I assumed it was a supervised visit, so I stayed in the room. I thought I was supposed to be watching the visit, and plus the kids asked me to stay, but I guess I wasn't supposed to or didn't have to. After about 5 or so minutes their mom was like "Do you have to be in here? This is my time with my kids and I don't want you in here if you aren't supposed to be or don't have to be. You didn't even introduce yourself." I guess I should have formally introduced myself (I had my tag on) and asked first, but I didn't think about it. I just assumed that I was supposed to be supervising the visit. The mom was not happy with me. I'm hoping she didn't mention anything to the case worker because I don't want to get in trouble.
I left work early after that incident because I was done for the day. I figured I could just work on my child study at home, so I didn't need to stay at the office. I just felt like I really messed up today.
I got home, and my mom was still upset about this morning. I didn't know what to say. I have nothing to apologize for.
I am really just hoping tomorrow is better because today sucked. It's just been one of those days.
