My First Mistake of the Day............

Hi sparky, I was not the one that made the first mistake this morning, it was the postman, he bang on my front door, thought the dorr was going to come off the hinges it was so loud and he he woke me up, so I set the cats on him because he woke me up, the cats scratched on his coat beccause he woke me up, the got hold of his hat and tore it to shreds because he woke me up and I saw him running down the road because he woke me up. I get very angry when I am woken up with a loud bang. Love and hugs. Tamara xxxx

Hmmm, don't think I've made a mistake yet today, oddly enough. It's been a really nice morning so far. And reading this was icing on the morning's cake, darling. Your brain!!! Geez, honey, you've got some crazy stuff in there! But great stuff, really great stuff! You continue to blow me away. And wait till you see p1key's response! He too consistently and constantly amazes me with his creativity and skill in writing. Oh, and TLChimes' response is terrific. The people here must be a rather exclusive "Lot" because the things I read here delight and fill me with wonder. Geez.

that sounds like some kind of discussion TheSpy would start - sure do miss that guy

well, my first mistake of the day was getting up late. i have some laundry to do and i failed to wake up early just to get them done. =( second was that while i was doing laundry, i was cooking rice too and we didn't have a rice cooker. so i have to cooked it on the stove. i was so pre occupied with my laundry that i forgot all bout the the rice. until i noticed a burned smell. it was my rice and it was super fried. lol. it was a waste. =( but at least i learned my lesson. to be heedful enough.

i really didn't understand quite a few in this...have to read it again later today...then can only respond...

As I reread your problematic explosion - of course "problematic" may be just a little bit off the mark here considering what happened - I cannot help but think how fortunate I am that my only mistake today caused me to horizontally pluck an extra 27 hairs out of my left eyebrow...yep - I zigged when I should have zagged. I knew I shouldn't have cleaned the tweezers with goose-grease...anyway, now it looks like I'm really intense and seriously pondering the words of everyone I meet...my right eyebrow seemingly raised by the illusion created against a much lower left one. Today, people say, "hi," and I turn to face them with a look that says, "really...I find what you say intriguing...please tell me more." And that's when my mail girl looked at me like I grew a purple horn before her horrified eyes and she sped off without another word. Maybe I'm just too intense for the common-folk. I considered matching the "cut" with my right eyebrow but then I'd have to explain why I was so tired...nah - I think I'll just leave it alone. Maybe I'll audition for a soap opera...or give a speech to a roomful of university students on the pros and cons of nuclear fusion. Or maybe I'll just go back to bed. Either way, at least my body is still intact. Now go pull yourself together, Sparky - you have the whole day ahead of you!

SOme days its just being up when every one else gets up and I have lost the silence of the early mornings I enjoy up by myself. Tehn the day is like a tornado hit the front room. That tornado is Cheyenne. getting all her toys out. thejn Mommy holler for her to eat! or pick up after her self. I soon go off to my room to get out of it.

Aside from also getting out of bed myself? I guess my mistake today was in thinking that people around me would fulfil their obligations as already defined and agreed. Such are the joys of a large and archaic organization with historically bad habits! lol. I am happy to see that you not only spread joy throughout your neighbourhood, but YOURSELF as well! Just think, each and every child now has a painful reminder of your event lodged firmly in their feet!

This is definitely a unique way to start a discussion. I can always count on you for "different". LOL So far today, all has gone well. Not perfect but well. No great mistakes have occurred as of yet. But the day is not over either. Something could happen at any moment.

Do we have an aspiring Dean Koontz, or Stephen King on our hands? Hum, finish the tale Your name is Ytinasnifokraps (your ID backwards if you didn't recognize it) lol. I want to read all the glorious gory details, esp. what kind of work this might be!!!! Not for the weak of heart I would say! Hugs Marilyn

Of course it was. Hiring his neighbour to clean for him just had to be bad news. They didn't normally allow that kind of thing; but he was far from the city now. The cleaner had clearly picked up some glass as she pottered round the town. In a conclusive demonstration of her skills, his bedroom rug was now a mini minefield impregnated with tiny pieces of glass deposited by her outdoor shoes. He hobbled to the bathroom and sat himself on the toilet. Hooking one leg over the other he examined the bottom of his foot. Not a pretty sight. Along with the miniscule implants of windscreen, the not quite cleared remnants of his Athletes Foot infection rendered his foot a pale, pasty plain of soft, slightly damp pustulant pain. Tweezers in hand, he started the clearance process. The shadow that fell across his ground floor bathroom window went unnoticed. As did the slight throat clearing and the sound of index finger pulling back on the trigger...............

Say what?! I'd have to say the first mistake of MY day today, with it being 3:47AM, would be having read this and thinking I should really be asleep right now because this doesn't make one damned bit of sense to me. I've GOT to be dreaming or something!!

My first mistake of the day was waking the child. She looked so sweet and darling. Her smiled could melt ice caps. Things were going well until I reminded the darling that it was a school day. She nicely reminded me that she had a belly ache. I reminded her that once she drank her milk she would be better. The sound of her scream broke windows in five towns. I calmly told her I would come back in five minutes to help her dress. Her tears flooded the whole back of the house. I calmly dressed her after cleaning up enough glass to re-window five houses. The scratches she left would need stitches. I set her on the steps where we read a book and watched the sun come up. I ignored the daggers that flew out of her eyes and landed in the poor tree that sat in out front yard. She shot fire from those same chocolate eyes when I stood her up and pulled on her hood. I reminded her that the bus driver was her friend and she should save her energies for school. I really bought her mumbled, "Yes mom" With bushes burning and daggers flying I pulled her down the walk and to the bus. I watched it drive off with a sigh of relief. I put out the flames to save as much as I could of my yard. Put the daggers out of other kids reach. The box I store them in was needing to be dumped. I through out the glass and made sure there wasn't more. I walked down the hall and made the second mistake of the day. He is such a cute boy with eyes that want you to pick him up and love on him. Then I woke him up to start the day.

This sounds like my life, never mind my day.

Oh grief! Where do I begin. Today hasn't been too great at all, but I didn't blow any cars up because I don't drive. Ha ha ha! I might have blown a gasket when the landlord of the pub told me fifty five minutes before tonight's dart game that the other team had phoned him five days earlier saying they were sick and couldn't make the match tonight. I'd rushed around getting ready, after I got rid of the kitchen fitter... then the phone rang. No time to let anybody know so I just had to go down and tell them that they only had practice. Grrrrrrr That's all I can, or want to remember about today, my friend. Brightest Blessings.

Hi sparks, I always read your discussions hanging on each and every word and so often...I don't get it. you are pretty deep as far as i'm concerned. I'm yellow haired ...remember? Anyway my first mistake of this day? hmmm... actually today was pretty good. If I made any mistakes they were not made clear to me...didn't affect my day and I'm seeing as I type that we now have spellcheck here...so I'm seeing tons of mistakes for the first time. when did that happen? it doesn't check punctuation and does'nt check for capitals at beginning of sentences...good thing.. so ya, answering your thread...i'm seeing lots of mistakes when I thought I maybe went thru a mistake-free day. mistakes are good...right? thats how we learn ...right?...oh my gd..the more I write the more little red lines I'm encountering...outta here....it did not correct outta so be assured...that's a word! even spell check errs.

The same as it always is, getting out of bed. That has ruined every single bad day that I've ever had!

I so far haven't made a mistake today, but maybe tomorrow will be my bad day.. I sure hope not. Lately I've been having pretty good days.

Mine was pretty ordinary, I went to Yoga class when I didn't really feel like it. Our regular teacher was out sick and we got the lady from hell there to challenge us for an hour. On top of the pain and inability to do what she asked, It made me aware of how really bad shape I'm in ruined my whole day, if I let it but I won't on the way to the grocery store i stopped at the Ice cream place and got a double chocolate mint cone. Now all is right with the world an who says old ladies need to be able to put their foot behind their head anyway, it just makes you look silly. Enjoy that picture

My first mistake of the day was just before I went to bed at 5am. So the mistake you ask.....was spending 20 minutes trying to find the last cat so I could go to sleep. I was distraut to say the least. Precious is a small black sort of smokie girl. Well as a last thought I went to the cage and opened it to pet her cage mate Smookie, and another little head gave me a love. Yup it was Precious and somehow she had jumped into the cage while I was getting Smookie. I got to bed a half hour later than I would have and it was late enough....Yikes..................
