I Had a Crappy Day

Today's my nephews 20th birthday and he's visiting us from Texas.
I planned a brunch with my mom, his biological dad and my kids for 11am.
It's been a fight w his biological dad to meet us because he works at 6.... we aren't going to be all day, he can stay for an hour and go about his day....that's all I ask.
I've planned this out w my mother for a week and gave her the address to the spot and the time... I confirmered w her yesterday.
I message my mom and tell her I'm up and that we where leaving and to make sure she meets us.
We get there. I tell her we're there...
We get to the seats and wait.. order... eat.... my kids get into a fight at the table... my daughter slaps her brother w a pickle and they continue to argue; he squirts her with ketchup all over her white shirt.... I'm trying to not lose my shit..... I ask them to stop. I get the check and we leave.

My mother calls me "where are you?" I tell her we're leaving the restaurant and that I told her we had plans to have brunch at 11am... she plays stupid and says "you said you where coming over here!" I told her no, she was wrong and that it's too late, we're going home

My nephew wants to stop at the outlet store. I let him out and I park. I kindly bring up to the kids how unacceptable their behavior was and that I was quite embarrassed. My son starts getting an attitude and keeps talking. I lose my shit with him and kick him out of my car. He goes into the store and he decides to stay at the store.
So I left his ass!

I get to town 35 mins away and take care of some stuff.
I'm in line to buy a lawnmower and this kind man asks me if I have solar panels and wants to talk about it... I don't. I kindly say no thank you and he keeps on... I turned to him and stirnly say "I don't mean to be rude, but I am not interested, thank you!"
He keeps on talking and I turn around and leave it alone

The register lady wanted to help me at the self check... she asks me if I'd like to buy the extended warranty, then starts talking to another person... I want to finish my conversation with her; I mean she is "helping " me with my transaction; right???? If I'm gonna get a warranty I want to know how much, how long and purchase....
she gets an attitude.... I was about done with my patience at this point..... THEN THE REGISTER DODNT WORK!
WTF?!
So, I go to another one and had to start all over; looking for another customer helper person, it takes 5 minutes!

Lord have mercy!!!!!!!!

I am not sure what is going on with the energy around me.

I am gonna go crazy!

Wow. I think you did the best you could.
@SW-User thanks.. I guess.
I've done yard work to help destress... now, I'm boiling water for spaghetti.

I think I'm gonna quietly cry for a bit....
SW-User
I am so sorry.
If it wasn't for the seatbelt that held me in my seat, I would have torn my son to shreds with his snotty attitude he was giving me...
I have NEVER been pushed to that level by my kids... ever

You know, it's. Not even this.. maybe it's one part, but it's been hailing ice cubes on my soul all year and it's one thing after another that I'm trying to tough it through.. but I swear... I think it's gonna get easy & something else happens

When everybody cools down and you think he's in a mood where he might listen... tell him.
I'm tired

It doesn't have to be today. You take care of yourself.
@SW-User he knows. He knows I tried to be civilized with him...
