Bummed out

I got some bad news today. The whole complicated babysitting arrangement we had set up for my triathlon on Saturday has fallen through. So no race for me, that was $50 I may as well just flushed down the toilet. I am really, really bummed out. Bummed out/pissed off...a really bad combination. I guess the biggest problem is the kids are still a touch sick today. I think they will be better by Saturday, but trying to convince others to watch our sick kids while they have little kids of their own is a lot to hope for. And since the only people I know who can watch kids are people that have kids themselves, I think that leaves me up the creek without a paddle. I guess in my mind right now you just can't rely on others to help you out all of the time, which is a really depressing thought.....
