There are some days when it just makes no sense to get out of bed at all, does it?
Well,...:of course, you do get up, but it's definitely on the wrong side of the bed...
...those bitter winter mornings when it's still dark outside, and you face a cruel chill the minute you set your delicate toes on the floor. The shower needs time to warm up, and you stress because you know you have to bundle up and rush outside for a minute, just to warm up the car so the windows can defrost while you're drying out your hair and choosing what to wear for the day, right?
The traffic is crazy, now that you've left a few minutes later (because of the defrosting,) and then, the minute you get to work, watching your breath curl around your face, and open the doors to head inside, it hits you that the fire alarm is sounding, and a very robotic voice is instructing you to "please vacate the building," only to leave you again out in that wretched cold air.
Aaaah, it's a harsh world, in this wintery time of the year...
Kind of reminds me of that book my son used to love as a kid: Alexander and the Terrible, Horrible, No Good, Very Bad Day by Judith Viorst. We laughed many times over that wonderful story:
"I went to sleep with gum in my mouth and now there's gum in my hair and when I got out of bed this morning I tripped on the skateboard and by mistake I dropped my sweater in the sink while the water was running and I could tell it was going to be a terrible, horrible, no good, very bad day."
Eric had me laughing with this facebook post and image on his site today, with this note: "If I had to pick a single animated gif to represent most of my days, this would be a pretty solid choice:"
