I kid you not. This all took place in a matter of one week's time. I contribute most of it to working way too many hours, and not paying attention as usual, and just being too busy to stop and think. I admit when I get too much on my mind I am a complete scatterbrain. Have you ever had a day, week, month or year when you knew you should just stay in bed? I have.....and that week was last week. Boy am I glad its over.
You know your week has gone to crap when….
1. After a hectic weekend, there was 7 or 8 loads of clothes to wash one morning. I turned out the washer, waited some 40 minutes for the first load only to find out I forgot to put the laundry in.
2. I found two ticks having my leg for lunch. Ewwww
3. I was cleaning out the hay shed getting it ready for this year’s new hay. I seemed to have accumulated 2 or 3 new cats who I have never seen here before. They have set up housekeeping in there and had the nerve to hiss at me too. Glad mine are spayed and nutered. Then I smelled something gross. Seems these new hay barn kitties take delight in peeing on my tarps. Better that than peeing on the hay but gee, come on…..PU
4. I was unloading the dishwasher. Almost to the end of putting all the dishes and silverware away, I discovered they still looked dirty. Oops. Guess I forgot to turn the dishwasher on. Had a great time trying to figure out what dishes, glassware and silverware I put away dirty. Ended up having to wash just about everything.
5. Bunch of people came for Memorial Day cook out. We're having a great time. Guitars playing, everyone singing, yakking, laughing. I tried so hard not to burn anything on the grill and I didn’t! But as I was carrying the first plate of chicken to the picnic table, only 5 feet away, I dropped it. No apparent reason, I just accidently dropped it. Boom. Down in the dirt. Good thing I had plenty more.
6. I woke up early one morning from that well known belching sound of my dog about to barf. We didn’t make it to the back door in time. I swear it looked like frog guts. Could a certain dog actually have eaten a frog? Discusting whatever it was.
7. Never ever get up in a to race to answer the phone while wearing your reading glasses. Kaboom and ouch.
8. The mail man was honking his horn at the mailbox. That means for me to come out and meet him there; he must have a package or something for me to sign. I ran through the yard in my stocking feet and stepped in dog crap.
9. This is the one that is making me crazy. Get a call from some distant relatives who I completely cannot stand. I have to be nice to them because they are "family". They announce they are coming to visit for a week and we have to pick them up at the airport. I have no guest room, nor can I skip out on work or have time to sit home with them all day or ride them around and be tour guide and lovely hostess with the mostest. They have no manners and don’t even ask if it is a convenient time, they just say they are coming. Ugh……..Nothing I can do about it as they have their tickets. With any luck if I remember correctly I think they are allergic to the dogs or cats or something. Maybe I'll send them up to the hay shed.
Hope you have a great week!
