Crappy day at 8:30am - hope things get better today.
My dad comes to pick DD up for the day. As he takes her away she is screaming and wiggling in his arms to get to me. I feel so horrible, even though I know that she is going to have a fun day.
I immediately leave to go to work. Because we have been decluttering, we have a ton of boxes in our garage, so DH can't park in the garage, but I still do. I think to myself as I walk out to my car "watch for DH's car when you leave". I get in my car and start thinking about the 5000 things I need to do today, how I need to get to the grocery store before I go home tonight, and how I am actually a bit on the early side, so maybe I have time to stop at the hardware store and pick up a space heater for my freezing cold office before work. I start backing out, and back right into DH's car. My driver's side rear corner smashed into his passenger side front corner. GREAT! So, BOTH of our cars are smashed in. My bumper is all cracked. I think it is just the bumper though. His front bumper, plus the front side panel of his car are all smashed. GREAT. Of course, his car is the "better", more expensive car (mine is a 2000 Grand Am, his is a 2008 MKZ). We have been saving all our money for the new house - it is not going to be cheap to get both cars fixed. I am so pissed at myself. So, now, on top of everything else I have to do today, I have to call around and find a place to at least get DH's car fixed ASAP. It is still drivable, thank goodness.
Now I get to work, and I've already trekked across the office 3 times because I brought someone a file to make corrections to, and after I got back to my desk, I realized that I brought them the wrong client file (even though I only have 3 or 4 things on the go right now). And I get an email from this guy who I assigned some work on Friday that I needed ASAP - and he only has it half done (was off Monday and is of again today - I have to cut him some slack because he is disabled (not sure exactly what - maybe cystic fibrosis, he is the son of a former partner and I know he was many years ago an easter seals kid), and he indicated he had a lung infection (obviously not good) - but I am still annoyed that this isn't done. Aacck!
Too many things on my mind, and being in too much of a rush. Damn. I'm starting to regret this whole coming back to work thing.
EDIT- oh, and basically, this means that pretty much I'm working for the month of January for nothing, as most of my pay is going to go to fix the damn cars that I smashed up.

Eek! I did the same thing, once- I backed my mom's van into my dad's car in their driveway. Sucked.
Fingers crossed that things start looking up for you!
