We all have those craptastic days when multiple things go wrong. Bad things. Some call it Murphy's Law. Others simply refer to it as a streak of bad luck. I like to blame my misfortune on gremlins, because it's easier to blame them, rather than admit that I may or may not have done something stupid.I was inspired to write a post about the things that make me say, "UGH!" after reading my friend Seanna's blog---The Seanna Method, on this very same subject. She came up with quite a few things that drive her crazy, but I have some more pet peeves of my own to add to the list, such as:
Stepping outside your back door in the morning, right into a pile of dog poo....barefoot.
When you just finish waxing the car and it rains.
Digging out slimy food particles that are stuck in the dish drain <gag>
When someone puts the toilet paper roll on backwards. Savages!
You think you're done folding that mountain of laundry only to find that the dryer is packed with more clothes. Hey, at least they're clean!When you're trying to stick to your diet and the kids bring home a large pizza....with extra pepperoni on top.
You get out of the shower, towel off, and realize you forgot to shave your legs. Decision time: shave or be mistaken for Bigfoot.
When you're napping on a Sunday afternoon and the kids pop over for a surprise visit...with three of their loudest friends.
The way your stomach feels when you overdo it.....such as after a Thanksgiving feast and that second helping of pumpkin pie you should have skipped.
You accidentally wash your new t-shirt in hot water and it shrinks down two sizes. Your shirt is now a crop top. Welcome to the 80's!
When you've sworn off sugar for the month, and someone shows up at work with a box of donuts.
You're late for an appointment but you can't find the car keys you had in your hand five minutes ago. Early dementia?
When its 90 degrees out, you're hot flashing, and the A/C quits.
You're more than halfway done writing an email or essay online and the internet goes out. And of course, you forgot to SAVE the document.
When you're trying to get some sleep but your neighbors have gone out for a late evening and left their non-stop barking dog outside.
You're late for work and drive six blocks from home before realizing you might not have locked the front door.
When you're in the middle of watching a really good television program and the cable goes out.
Solicitations for bank loans, credit card debt, and people looking for donations to save wayward cats, who phone your home during the dinner hour. Don't even get me started on the political phone calls......
When friends stop by your house unannounced and you haven't bothered to clean the place in a week. Even worse when you've just microwaved cabbage and salmon for dinner and the house smells like a fishing wharf.
Can you relate to these troublesome situations? What sort of things make you say, "UGH!" ??
****WANT MORE MENO MAMA? This past week I had two essays featured on different sites! Read about my Zumba class bonding experience at Her View From Home. Then check out my perspective on the elderly and how they are being shunned by today's youth-oriented society, which you can find at Fifty Shades Of Aging.
