... I think I will move to Australia

Aunt Sherri and the Terrible, Horrible, No Good, Very Bad Monday Morning...

First, I slept through all FOUR alarms and woke up convinced it was still the weekend...

I think they should outlaw Monday mornings...

Then, my roommate got in the shower first... She takes FOREVER in the shower...
I then proceed to shout out loud in exasperation in efforts to get her attention to get out of the shower, only to realize that if I did take a shower I would be late to work...
She didn't hear me anyway...

I looked in the my closet and only to discover that everything piece of clothing I own no long fits me... Some might think this as a positive but on a morning like this, its devastating...

I poked myself in the finger while pinning my shirt back so that I didn't look like a hoochie...
I think they should send all "safety pins" on a plane to Antarctica...

I could tell it was going to be a terrible, horrible, no good, very bad Monday morning...

I filled my water bottle up but somehow the lid didn't get screwed on tight... 22 ounces of water spilled into the passenger seat of my car and all over my purse... I reach in my purse to rescue my cell phone and to hook it up to play relaxing music, only to realize that I had left it at home...

There was nothing good on the radio... even after searching the channels 100 times... I think all radio stations should be boxed up and sent to South America.

I finally make it to work and begin preparing for treatment team. The doctor is late and forgets she has five treatment teams... After starting 30 mins late, families either don't answer the phone or come and take a long time in treatment team...
and then everyone keeps telling me that my kids are acting up and wanting to talk to me...

Told my supervisor that I was moving to Australia and she asked if she could go with me...

At 12:09pm, I feel like I could eat a horse or a HUGE box of cookies... but no, I must go and make "healthy choices" for lunch... and then come back to work and get at it again...

I have a feeling this is going to be a terrible, horrible, no good, very bad Monday...

At lunch I take some time to just sit in my car... I closed my eyes, let the Spring breeze dance upon my face, and consider if I want to return to work...

As I sit and ponder how horrible my attitude has turned in response to my bad morning, one of my favorite Psalms comes to mind...

Psalm 73:21-28
"When my soul was embittered,
when I was pricked in heart,
I was brutish and ignorant; I was like a beast toward you.
Nevertheless, I am continually with you;
you hold my right hand.
You guide me with your counsel,
and afterward you will receive me to glory.
Whom have I in heaven but you?
And there is nothing on earth that I desire besides you.
My flesh and my heart may fail,
but God is the strength of my heart and my portion forever.
For behold, those who are far from you shall perish;
you put an end to everyone who is unfaithful to you.
But for me it is good to be near God;
I have made the Lord God my refuge,
that I may tell of all your works."

I return to work and have an OK Monday afternoon... not great mind you, but OK... not giving up on that Australia idea just yet...

So Blueberry, some Monday mornings are like this... but He is stronger...
