GGGGGGGrrrrrrrrrrr!!!!!
Ever had one of those days? Spent the morning at son Jake and Kerri's doing some edging and weed pulling with Kerri. Got home at about 2:15, and thought that now I will sit down, rest a bit and crochet the baby afghan. I swear that I wasn't in my chair 30 seconds (hadn't even done one stitch) enjoying the breeze coming in the window beside me, when a huge gust of wind blew in! The wind blew a beautiful money tree plant right off my side table, broke the pot, and sent dirt everywhere:(
What a mess! I had to get the vacuum out (I never vacuum on Monday's, only Friday's) and wash the floor. I got another pot and re potted what is left of the plant. I hope that it lives. By then, I am in a bit of a mood....so I started cleaning out the three thousand Tupperware containers out of the fridge, wash the containers, and wipe down the counter tops. I noticed that I hadn't cleaned out the coffeemaker and reached over to grab the thingy of coffee grinds since I was taking out the garbage anyway, might as well get it all...right??
Wrong!! The coffee grinds just flew out of my hands all over the clean tupperware, counters, floor, dishwasher and I think on the dog a bit!! I cannot tell you how many swear words flew out of my mouth; I hope that no one was walking by admiring the gardens at that point! I have now cleaned everything up again, filled the bathtub, and am going for a long soak. This day is officially OVER!
Well, actually it isn't. But I am going to start over after my bath. I just wanted to vent a bit. No, there will not be any pictures of this catasrophe....but I do have a pic of a mess I made a few months ago with 24 ounces of melted bittersweet chocolate. Oh yeah, that was a fun cleanup too! I am sensing a pattern here....
Oh, Trudy, I'm giggling so hard. This may have been a totally crummy day for you with the potting soil and the coffee grounds going all over the place, but you give me hope. Now I truly KNOW that other people have the same kind of day that I've been having and by gosh and by golly, we can ALL survive it.
ReplyDeleteTo be perfectly honest, though, I would have gotten mad at the potting soil. When the coffee grounds went all over, I would have sat down and cried.
ohgeez, Trudy! What a mess you had (both with the potting soil/coffee grounds and the melted chocolate)!!! Hope your day improved!!! Ever spill a packet of dye? Now, that is a fun one to clean up! haha.
ReplyDeletePlease forgive me Trudy, but I had to laugh too! It's been a long time since I've had a day as bad as yours, but hopefully you've met your quota now and it will be years and years till you have another day as bad as this one!
ReplyDelete*hums* mama said they'll be days like this . . . hope yours turns around for you :) (i only had the teensiest of giggles, lol)
ReplyDeleteOh, boy !!! Can I relate to such craziness!!! Hope you're feeling better!!! And I would have taken my bath in a vat of wine!!! Now that would really help you get over it!!!! Ta Ta for now!

Aawww Trudy!! I'm so sorry girlfriend!! :( Days like that are just the pits, aren't they? And of course the coffee had to do that AFTER you had cleaned everything all really good once! Hang in there woman, tomorrow WILL be a better day! I had a day similar to yours just a couple days ago that started with one of the pepper ginders breaking (peppercorns everywhere).. then the bag of meat on my counter that was defrosting got picked up and had a hole in it - didn't realize till it was too late! LOL And THEN came the coffee grounds! OY. Days like that is when we should just quit while we're ahead.. donchya think? :D Hope you had a nice good soak in the tub and totally relaxed after all that!! {{{hugs}}} bren
ReplyDeleteTime to relax and chill with a good book in the bath. Hope you have a lovely evening!!

PS I love your penny rug :)
I'm sorry, Trudy, but your post made me giggle. We've all had days like those, and yes, they suck...for lack of a better word. Remember that book called, "The Terrible, No Good, Very Bad Day"? It's a picture book, but your post reminded me of that book. I hope that tomorrow is a much better day, and I hope that your bath turned the bad day into a nice ending day at least. Hang in there!!
