What is it about a day that starts out like any other day and then, somehow, somewhere, manages to take a sharp, nasty turn, in seemingly a moment, and completely turn into something other than goodly?
What is it about a day that makes it GOOD or BAD, anyway?
Today, I woke up, fairly rested, but with an achy back.
No biggie.
The house was a wreck from a culmination of three people living in it and no one cleaning all weekend.
Ticking time bomb.
The clothes dryer suddenly decided to stop working all together--the START button apparently "burned up" or something or other.
This is it.
Work is now piling up, and I now have an even MESSIER laundry room.
It's now I realize that the day is definitely going to go down as "one of THOSE days"...
And at the same time, I keep praying that it won't get any worse.
Should I hole up in the house, under a blanket and not come out until TOMORROW?
As I attempt to gather my resolve and push forward, making the best of it, I summon the energy to hurl myself at my daughter's messy room next.
But before I do, I pour myself a tall cup of coffee and sit down to blog at least the surface of my thoughts...
I know what you mean. We (my wife and I),generally find a few things will breakdown in a short space of time. Our vacuum cleaner blew up, well, no it didn't blow up, the cable flashed due to live and neutral touching, but it ruined the cleaner. So that was expensive, then just when we didn't need anything else to go wrong; the washing machine conked! So yes I feel for you, you're not on your own.
