Murphy's day

This is how my day went today:

~ just over 2 hours at the pain clinic. Time spent with the actual DR - less than 1 minute

~ Left there, got part way home and realized that I had forgotten next months appt card. Turn around - run back and retrieve.

~ Stop at the store and spend the last $4 in my account to pick up a few things for dinner

~ Get home- the puppy had messed in his cage

~ Puppy outside on leash while I clean the cage out

~ Puppy breaks leash and chases chickens

~ Find out that the TV is not working

~ Pull out huge entertainment center to try and figure out what had malfunctioned. Play with the 9 million wires to figure out the culprit.

~ Change the wire that I think has malfunctioned

~ Puppy rebreaks tie out and plays with a chicken to death. Almost kills a 2nd one trying to play with it. First chicken- still missing.

~ Make note to self to buy really big chain tomorrow when my check comes

~ Chase puppy into house threatening homicide. Stupid dog runs thru with horribly muddy feet.

~ Count chickens 12 times trying to make the 17th one materialize out of thin air

~ Cuss puppy a few more times when I remember that the baby will be here in 3 days and now we have to clean carpets

~ Thank God that I have no small children as I use words that I thought I forgot

~ Realize that we still have no TV and that I changed the wrong wire

~ Remind my children of a few more cuss words that they might have forgotten exist

~ Find the right one and change it

~ Realize at this point that its almost 3 PM. Dishes not done. Laundry not done. Floor not vacuumed.

~ Consider throwing something but too lazy to clean it up if I do

~ Load the dishwasher. Start the laundry. Run the vacuum. (By this point- the boys have run for cover)

And here I am. If my children want fed tonight- I hope they remember how to fire up the grill and cook. I may not move from my chair for the next 3 days. ;)

I hope that everyone else has had a much calmer day than I have.

*hugs*
