Why Me?

So, tomorrow, you decide that you are going to try and have the best day possible. You are determined to make the most of your day and will stop at almost nothing to do so. But... your day went a little awry. Let me summarize your day.
You snap into awareness with your alarm clock chirping at you at about 6:00 am. You don't have to be at school until 7:45, but you would like to get an early start on this wonderful day. You pick up your outfit and make sure it is perfect for your day, set it down, grab your brush, and head to the bathroom. Unfortunately, your little brother beat you there, so you wait for the fifteen minutes it takes for him to finish up after you knock. Finally, he bustles out clutching his towel around him and dripping all over the floor, but you don't mind, now you get to shower. You hop in and turn on the water to find that it is freezing cold on the hottest setting and realized that your brother must have gotten there long before you. So, instead of the luxurious shower you expected to take, it's very quick and cold with minimal extra time. Oh well, you sigh, at least the cold water keeps your hair de-frizzed!
After fixing your hair(blow-drying, straightening, styling), getting dressed, and applying make-up, (sorry guys... not for you!) you feel ready to eat something. You walk into the kitchen and open the pantry to find... your favorite cereal is all gone. All that's left is a packet of oatmeal, peanut butter, bread, and some sugar. You decide that oatmeal might spoil your best day, so you make a peanut butter sandwich. You flop on the couch for a few extra minutes of morning T.V. and some peanut butter gets on your favorite shirt, which also happens to be very stylish. While you try to get it off, you remember you need to write a report on the book you read last night. Throwing on another shirt, you rush to the computer and type something up really fast, hoping the teacher will accept it. But, once you hit print, you get an error pop-up saying you need another ink cartridge. Now in a certain state of early morning panic, you scribble down what you wrote on the computer onto a piece of paper and pray more that the teacher will except it.
At last you are ready to go to school. You double check that everything is in order in your backpack and throw it on. As you head to the door to ride your bike to school, you glance at the clock and see that it's....... SEVEN FORTY!!!!!!! You run out the door throwing on a random pair of shoes and hopping onto your bike, pedaling as fast as your legs can go, trying to beat the eight minutes it takes to get to school. At the cross walk, you realize your shoes are on the wrong feet and your helmet is in your front yard at home, and you could get a $40 ticket if you don't have it! You get across the road and hop on your bike, trying to be as inconspicuous as possible. It is only now, in your time of need to be invisible, that you chose a bright electric orange shirt, and now you resemble a very loud traffic cone. You glance up and notice a police man looking at you...



Ever had one of these days? Where you plan it to be the best ever but you fall on your face and everyone laughs, then its in the newspaper, and you find out a law came out yesterday saying its illegal to have your face too close to the ground........ Murphy's Law is a sad, sad discovery. But it seems that once you plan a good day, all the bad things are amplified, so that the missing cereal becomes a big deal when that peanut butter sandwich is just as good, if not better. I would have to say that if you are having one of these days, the best thing to do is to pray because when you fall and everyone laughs, He will help you up and dust you off. Everything He does is for a reason, maybe he shows us these days so we might realize the brightness of another day, or the positive points of someone that you have come to see only the negative side of. I'm not saying to expect the worst, because you will become a very unpleasant person, but to think of everything as an opportunity, or just not to see it as the end of the world, because the end of the world will be a happy event, if you are on the right side!!!!!

Hope you liked!

I actually HAD a day like that once...I actually had SEVERAL days like that, but those were my Veritas days. I don't have many like those anymore, although they come around every so often. Thanks much, girl, I was laughing at the imagery, very creative writing. BTW, would you like me to send you another originale? And if you don't like them, say so: you're allowed to be my harshest critic and my most loyal follower all in one whack! Cheers!
