Frustrations

It all started last night while making dinner.  The chicken set off the smoke detector. Once they go off they don't stop, except after the batteries have been taken out AND the electricity to the upstairs bedroom turned off.  After several hours and after several attempts to quiet them down (sorry neighbors) we decided to leave off the breaker for the night.  This of course meant taking a shower this morning by candlelight.

Today was no less frustrating.  Our carpool car had to be taken to the car dealership because the service engine light came on.  We made it to our 7:30 appointment only to realize we were at the wrong dealership.  Then we sat on the highway for an hour because there was an accident and people were being typical mean Florida drivers.  And don't forget the super scary fog.  This all meant we were an hour and 1/2 late for work.  I hate being late. To top it off I had a 3 1/2 hour meeting where I was given even MORE work to do. 

On the way home from work driving down Snake Road I saw something in the left lane.  It was a baby doll.  The poor thing was all alone in the middle of the road, accidentally fallen out of a car window and I realized that some little girl, somewhere was having a much worse day than me.

  1. I'm sorry you had a bad day, but you're right some little girl had a very bad and sad day.
