GOOD GRIEF

12-23-08...GOOD GRIEF

Good Grief!! Is there a klutz of the year award? If so I win hands down. If there was anything to, spill, drop, empty, step on, break, or anything beyond, By Golly I've done it this morning!
I got up all groggy eyed where my coffee was brewing but not quiet done. Was crossin' my legs, trying to wait on it to gurgle its last gurgle, cause my bladder was bout to burst wide open. Decided Well I'll just fill my cup quickly and be on my way. The darn coffee pot is supposed to cut off when the decanter is removed, It didn't!! I was watching that little stream of coffee running down on the heater and completely missed my cup. I felt something on my front that was warm, looked down and there was another stream running off the counter right on to my big belly! I was pourin' coffee on the counter. Then You know how sometimes the sound or sight of water makes your bladder turn loose? Nuff said about that. I scrunched up my bladder, grabbed my cup and started to the bathroom in a hurry. There was coffee on the floor and I went slip slidin' spillin' what coffee was in my cup. Of course it was dark. I had a garbage bag sitting nearby ready to take out for trash pickup but it wasn't tied up yet. Yep I did!! I brushed past it on my trek to the bathroom and it fell over spilling who knows what at my feet. I went forward on my trip to the bathroom and stepped on one of Moses' doggy toys which in turn squeeked scaring the stuffins' outta' me. By now my bladder could not wait (thank God I was heading in the bathroom door, STILL DARK) Knew there was no time to turn on the light so I dropped my drawers and flopped down on the pot. BY GOLLY I CAN'T BELIEVE THIS!!! The lid was down!!! I showered and put on fresh clothes, still hadn't had my coffee don't ya know. Started back to the kitchen, stepped on the squeaker again, stepped through garbage, (coffee grounds). Had to clean that all up, got my cup of coffee which by now was cold. That stupid pot did what it was supposed to do this time, shut itself off after two hours. I was already out to my chair in my room and getting ready to relax and watch the morning news before I realized my coffee was cold. Sos' I go back to the kitchen, heat my coffee in the microwave, burned my tongue on it, gave up the news and headed to The Hill. Checked The Hill all out and decided I'd better tell you all about my morning. So I just told you about my klutzy morning. By The way, I have a fresh cup of coffee sitting right here beside me. WHEEEEEW!!!
