And here we thought my husband’s day was bad

Monday morning the baby and I came downstairs after she woke up. My husband was sitting on the bench and I asked why he was still here.
He told me we had run out of oil and he had to go to town a few times buying kerosene to put in our oil tank.
Before he realized we were out of oil he made a sandwich to take to work. He had it on the table when he looked and saw how cold the house was. While he was getting the oil put in the tank outside the cat ate his sandwich.
He thought his day was going bad until he got to work and found out a coworker had slipped on ice, broke 4 ribs and punctured his lung.
My sister thought her pipes froze but it turns out the line from the toilet to the septic were clogged bad. When my sisters boyfriend worked on it he got poo and feminine product waste on him.
Looks like it was a rough day for many people and my husbands day definitely wasn’t as bad as others.
I am very thankful my husband noticed how cold the house has gotten and put oil in it for us so when we woke up the house was warmed back up already. It’s always nice to give him a hug and kiss before work and for him to see the baby before he goes. He usually leaves an hour before we get up.
I felt bad for him and made him some frosting filled chocolate chip cookies.
The photo is the toys I got Monday at the thrift store my daughter works at. All the toys were 50% off so I got all this for only $6.75.

It's nice to know he's useful for something. 
I'm sure the baby will love all those toys!

@Daddyevil he didn’t get upset at the $979 fuel oil bill when it was delivered today either.
I am going to give her them for Valentine’s Day. I usually don’t like to give used for gifts but she’s little and won’t know and moneys tight.

@shaggin No use in getting upset over a necessity. You have to stay warm.
I understand. I don't give used as a gift, either. But you're right, she won't notice and will love them all.

@DaddyEvil he’s been irritable the past few days so I’m thinking he’s worried about money. His truck is at the shop still and will be $3600 to fix.

@sallypup this is the second time I made this recipe. They were delicious the first time but fell flat and the frosting seeped out. I added a half cup flour this time around and they came out better. My husband finished up the last one last night.
It wasn’t a Friday all this happened on though it was a Monday. Bad start to the week for a few people.

Started off rough, I had to chuckle about the cat eating the sandwich. Nice toys. What a start of a day. Glad your house is warm.

@popciclecold I’m glad it made you laugh but I’m sure my husband didn’t get a chuckle out of it 
. With the cost of that meat I wasn’t happy about it but nothing you can do after the fact.

That's awful about the coworker slipping on ice and breaking four ribs and puncturing his lung. I wonder how long he will be hospitalized.

@LeaPea2417 I don’t think they keep them in the hospital for that thought the lung puncture though maybe

@shaggin ribs can take over a month to heal.

@just4him thankfully it was warm when I woke up and I had a good day. I was lucky my husband noticed how cold it was before he left or our pipes could have frozen.
They were giving away little treat bags of candy when I went as well but I forgot to include that in the photo.

@spiderdust ugh I know I felt terrible for him 
My first husband was a plumber and at one job he was working on someone’s toilet and the sewer pipe burst and he got covered head to toe in feces. He came home and I made him undress outside and we burned his clothes.

@shaggin Plumbers definitely earn their pay. All sorts of horrible stuff ends up in those pipes.

@Kandae11 oh my gosh if I went to the trouble of making a cake and the dog ate it I would be so upset. My husbands lab ate a whole package of fresh meat he had shaped into hamburgers. They were on the table while the grill warmed up and when we went back in to get them they were all devoured. If he leaves her in the truck with groceries after shopping and having to run into another store she will get into the food and eat it. She really likes raw meat.

Compared to others your husband's day was not that bad specially that job of cleaning of the clogged toilet.
That was nice of you to prepare those cookies for your husband.

@allknowing yep he felt that way too when he got to work and heard what happened to his co-worker. My husband was only late to work this man has been out of work all week from it and I’m not sure when he will be going back.
The cookies are all gone now. I want to make something with overripe frozen bananas we have but we have no eggs left. My husbands truck is supposed to be finished tonight so then I can finally after two weeks go get groceries again tomorrow. We are out of so many staples it’s hard coming up with meals.

@allknowing I leave them on the counter but if they get overripe I freeze them and use them in smoothies or muffins etc. I had one in a smoothie today which I haven’t had in a few months.

I am glad your husband got the oil for your tank before going to work sorry the cat ate his sandwich but I am sure he got another one. Sorry to hear your sisters boyfriend got feminine products and poop on him I m sure after he took care of the clog he took a nice hot shower. That was nice of you to make your husband some cookies

Monday certainly sounded like a Friday the 13th kind of day for your family members. I'm sure the baby will love the toys you got for her and that you had heat when you got up

@Marilynda1225 I was very thankful to wake up to a warm house. We got lucky the baby slept until after 7 or that wouldn’t have been the case.
Someone else mentioned the Friday the 13th. I don’t recall ever having anything of significance go wrong on a real Friday the 13th when I think about it.

Glad everything worked out well in the end, except for your husband’s poor co-worker.

@CarolDM I asked him last night if his co-worker was back to work and he said no he can barely breathe. I wonder how long he will be out of work. It really does sound so painful.
My sister won’t be flushing those items anymore and I have learned from it and will not be either anymore.
