Crazy Day

Ever find yourself getting
 up on the wrong side of 
 the bed, knowing your 
 going to have one of those 
 days!! Guess what!
 everything went wrong,
 first, the letters slipped
 out of the mailbox when
 I went to mail 
 them.

 The cat ate the dog food
 the dog ate the cat food
 The fish tanks pump
 went dead, with the fish,
 swimming on there sides.

 I left the house, tripping
 gracefully over the stepping
 block, got my neck caught
 on a rose thorn trying to get
 the morning paper the boy
 threw in the thorny rose bushes.

 The dog next door came
 in the yard, took a big dump
 on my new planted grass, the
 city gave me a ticket, for planting
 flowers to close to the fire
 hydrant..

 I went to work, found someone
 parked in my parking space, my
 computer decided to stop working
 and the coffee tasted like tar.

 Went to the store, on my way 
 home, checked everything out
 at the counter, realized I had
 left both my wallet and charge
 card in my other hand bag.

 I was about to scream, when my
 son came home from school wearing
 a black eye, which his girlfriend gave
 him for something stupid he had
 said to make her upset.

 Now was time for bed, and decided
 to take a nice soothing bath to relax
 my shattered nerves, when I realized
 their was no hot water, because the
 hot water tank had broken.

 I just had it, got into bed, thanking
 God for giving me a wonderful day to
 tackle, with patience and gratitude.

 I figured if thanking God for a wonderful day
 my day tomorrow may be just great which I
 needed so badly to be, after the stress of 
 today's craziness.

 Should I tell you what happened on my
 wonderful day, I thought would be great?
 I really better say nothing about it.

 (Please don't expect to always have beautiful day)
