8:39AM Staring DUMB-FOUNDED at the tire on the parking lot drive!
9:00AM I think “I have the spare FIX-A-FLAT I bought! NOPE!(on top of the kitchen cabinet with the rest of the groceries!)
10:00AM Walk back to the supermarket
!0:05AM Run into a neighbor at the checkout, she inquires: “Awe, honey, looks like your having a bad day?” Raise my eyebrow?…. ouch pain spears my head! What a pounding migraine! “yeah” (speaking calmly…. hoping the pain goes away) “I had a flat tire on the way to school, another on the way out from the market, my shower flooded my carpet and I just had the biggest argument with my husband over it! Whatever! Can’t get any worse right?” She has this ODD look on her face; “No, honey, I guess not.” She half smiles, a sorry look dressing her face.
10:06 AM Head straight for the bathroom, make a b-line for the sink, splash my face, look in the mirror? Two BIG BLACK-EYES stare back at me!
GREAT !!!! now everyone thinks my husband beats me….
