One of those Days

Have you ever had one of those days where you start out thinking you're totally in control and prepared for whatever life throws at you?


Why wouldn't you be able to handle it? You're prepared. Bible study done. Check. Dinner already prepared and waiting in the fridge. Check. Early start on homeschool so kids will be done by doctors appointment at 1:30. Check.

Then you can't find your purse and know you had it last night when you returned from Wal-mart. You search everywhere and it's gone. You know it's been stolen. The 3rd time your purse has been stolen out of your car. (Yes, I know I'm a slow learner.) So you start making phone calls. Bank. Husband. But you're running late to the doctor's appointment so off you race after grabbing a new checkbook out of your drawer.

You're so frazzled about your purse that you don't even think to look at your gas guage and although you make it safely to the doctor's office you realize upon leaving that you're stranded because you've managed to run out of gas. Have you ever had one of those days?

So then you call your husband and can't get him. You still don't have a cell phone so you're using the phone in the doctor's office and call your mom next. Your mom doesn't have her car today either.

But, she calls her mom, your Granny, who drives to your mom so she can come pick you up and rescue you. Then she takes you to the bank where you undo all the holds and stops on your accounts because your 8 yr old had just squashed your purse down the crack in the passenger seat of the car and it wasn't stolen after all. Then your husband and dad go fill your car up with gas and bring it home to you. Have you ever had one of those days?
