Some days it never ends

Today has been one of those days that just doesn't end when it should and by 9pm I am grumpy and ready to go to bed.

The reason for today not ending...I worked from 8:30 to 5:15.  Then I had to stop at the grocery store on my way home.  Then I got home and fixed dinner.  Then I ate and put the dishes in the dishwasher and started the dishwasher.  Then I helped my husband with some work in the basement - wrapping stuff in bubble wrap.  While I was helping with that I was also making occasional trips to the laundry room to get some laundry finished up.  Once my husband and I were done with the bubble wrap I had to help my step-daughter get a bunch of clothing put away - her mom sent over most of her clothing from there for a while until she finds a new place to live.  And my step-daughter has spent the entire evening sitting in the livingroom watching the Disney channel which drives me insane but with everything else that was going on it just wasn't working for me to find something else for her to do.    Now there are still at least two loads of laundry that need to be started (and one in the dryer).  There's also the rest of the dishes that don't go in the dishwasher that need to be washed.  And I really just want to go to bed.

It also drives me up the wall when my husband takes out the trash, but doesn't put a new bag in the trashcan.

My husband does the SAME exact thing - takes trash out but doesn't put a new bag in the trashcan - drives me NUTS! I always discover a bagless trash can when i'm holding something nasty in my hands that i desperately want to throw out!!!!
Jenni,
Hang in there. I have similar days, when I fantasize about falling asleep in hopes that I dream about FREEDOM! Haha. Life is super busy.
