Fortunately, My Whole Day Wasn't Like This

Let' see.... I get home from work. I drop my Zen mp3 player on the floor. It survived. I take a break and then peruse the freezer to see what to make for dinner. Ah! Orange Chicken. Pretty easy. Cook the chicken pieces in the oven and drizzle the hot orange sauce over them when they are done. The freezer is packed. I am having trouble getting the box out. I pull out other items to get out the box I wanted. One of them drops onto the floor. I bend down to pick it up. A one pound pack of, frozen solid, pork chops falls about four feet from the freezer and hits me on the head. Instant headache. The kids go grab some Excedrin. I need something to drink it down. Go to grab a Diet Coke from the 'fridge and a Dr. Pepper can falls out when I grab the Diet Coke. When the Dr. Pepper hits the floor, it springs a leak and starts spraying sticky soda everywhere. I get it to the sink. I notice that my head doesn't hurt too much, but my ears are ringing. Later, I go to pull the pan of hot chicken pieces from the oven and my hand gets burned through the pot holder. I grab it with two pot holders and set it down on the table. Not noticing that the hot, straight from the oven pan, is touching a plastic cup. Which is now sporting a nice hole. Then, my daughter Teresa asked me if I remember that I had left the hose running into our above ground pool. Oh no! It was only a couple of inches low. I only need ed to run the hose for about 15 minutes. This was about an hour later. So yes, the pool is now overflowing. I'm glad this all happened at the end of the day. I don't think I would have made it through the day, if it had started out like this.
