Terrible, Horrible, No-Good, Very Bad Day

Mom had a day like that yesterday.

Millie, it wasn't that bad...

Well it sounded bad to me. First she got stung by a hornet that followed her into the building where she does her day hunting. It hid on her umbrella, and when she moved it, she got stung on her thumb. She was in the hallway and all of a sudden she dropped everything on the floor and screamed "OW!" Everybody looked up and thought she was a little silly for a few minutes.

Then a co-hunter told her at lunchtime the metal machine had a flat tire. Which was bad enough, but her membership to Triple Ay had expired. So she waited for a friend to help her out. Which turns out to have been a better idea because her spare tire (which rides underneath her metal machine) had a hole in it!

The co-hunter was a car guy and had a little portable air compressor and he filled the flat tire (which had a little leak) and then let her take it home in case she needed to use it this morning.

But the worst thing of all was that she got home TWO HOURS LATE and I was HUNGRY!!!

There are TWO pieces of Good News.

One: Babybean is healing beautifully and the doctors and nurses are very impressed. (I think the fact that Babybean figured out how to open the door and was 1/3 of the way down the hallway, giggling, before Dadbean caught her was the best news of the day!)

Two: I decided to submit THIS picture to Monty Q's Do the Q contest.
I'm calling it the Curly Q.

Beautiful curly-Q Millie!!

oh your poor momma!! when our mommy teached nursery skool there was a book called the terrible, horrible no good very bad day that she usded to read to the little beans. She might still have it somewhere. we hopes that your mommy's thumb didn't swell up. Did she get some fix-a-flat for the tire on her metal monster? mommy nefurr goes anywhere wifout 2 cans of it. she's hadded too many flat tires. (Seems to me that if she improved her driving and stayed on the road, this would not happen, but what do I know? I'm a cat) - Miles

Your poor mom! What a day she had. I guess she isn't allergic to hornet stings, so that's a very good thing.

That's a great Curly Q, Millie. :)

Karen Jo said...

Your Mom did have a bad day, all right. I hope the thumb isn't too painful. Why is the spare tire always flat, too? I am really happy to hear the good news about Babybean. I hope she keeps right on impressing the doctors. It is go good to hear that she was giggling. I really like your name for your Monty. Curly Q fits your position perfectly.

Dang Millie, your Mom didn't have the best day - that is for sure. BUT, I bet it got better when she came home and saw you doing that great Q!

I am very sad to hear that your momma had a bad day. That does not sound like it was fun. I had a little bit of a bad day yesterday, I got locked out of the house on accident and almost ran away! It was so scary! P.S. I love the curly Q. Hee hee.

Tara said...

Oh, Mom has had days like that! I'm sorry you had to wait for your food, but at least she got home!

Great curly Q!
