The Right Perspective

So...

You know it's not your day when:

~ You try to accomplish all your errands in one trip (because you are 31 weeks pregnant and just dang tired) by going to the Super Target that always has all the things you know you need....and they are either completely sold out or no longer carrying two of the most essential items on your list.


~ You sneeze violently, while simultaneously biting the edge of your tongue, nearly shearing it off, leaving you with a bruised tongue for at least the rest of the day.


~ You pick up your child from preschool and discover that she has declared your favorite tv show (for a mother's day card) to be "The Young and the Restless". (Yes, I do watch. No, I'm not proud and it's the only show remotely like that which I watch. Still, not my proudest moment.)

~ Your 4.5 year old daughter manages to keep herself completely clean through lunch out at the restaurant, but you spill your own drink all over your shirt and pants. Nice touch!


Still, all was not lost. In the same Mother's Day card from said 4.5 year old daughter, your age and weight are listed at 4 years and 5 lbs.

It could have been much, much worse!

I LOVE this posting! Btw, I, too, am one who indulges in the guilty pleasure of watching "The Young and the Restless" periodically.

Needless to say, I get lost a lot and wonder what happened to what characters. Still, Mrs. C and Victor and Nicki are still on there, as well as Jack, Lauren, Michael, Paul, and Kevin.

Now, what happened to Snapper, Mr. Brooks, Laurie, Greg, Cricket, and John Abbott? SIGH
