Some days start better than others

This happened yesterday.

At six o’clock in the morning my ninety-seven year old mother-in-law fell down on the way to her bathroom.  We jumped out of bed, got her up, to her bathroom, and back in her bed.  It took about twenty minutes.

At seven o’clock we noticed a frozen, broken pipe in our backyard.  It had flooded ours, and part of our neighbors yard and was still going strong.  It took me twenty minutes to get dressed, get out, pry the frozen water control cover open and turn the water off.

At eight o’clock I cracked two eggs onto a plate, nuked them, brought them to the table and they exploded.  There were tiny bits of egg on the ceiling, on me, on my wife, in her oatmeal, on the cabinets, windows, walls and floor.  It took us twenty minutes to clean it up.

At nine o’clock I looked out the window, and my car had a flat tire.

It’ll only take about twenty minutes to fix but I’m waiting until Monday.
