Just a wild guess but one can see copious amounts of alcohol in your near future.

I was rolling at "furiously clean arm." The odds are in your favor that the rest of the day will be better than the morning part.

Just think, a Kia Rondo's battery would have been dead in three minutes tops.

My morning was worse though, radar clear, the 6 figure earning weather tards said no rain, so I take the 10r aaannnnnnnnnnnnnddddd it berkeleying rains.

I did however question why anyone needs traction control or ABS on a bike though.....

This is why I insisted on no more than 2 kids. 1 kid per parent - divide and conquer.

I like it when the cat walks in front of you so you trip over it.. then proceeds to hiss and swipe at you for tripping over it

I no longer trip on cats/dogs/kids. If they get in my path as I walk, I'm bigger. The cats learned pretty quick it's not quuite a kick but I don't slow down either. The kids fussed more but are learning.

This may make me a jerk to some, I won't be at the bottom of the stairs with broken bones because of a cat however!

Sounds like eliminating the cats drastically improves the situation.

Elastiwrap sticks to cats.

Or at least it may. I have no idea. I think it also sticks to kids, but the Eastwood guy told me not to try it out.

Probably 3-4 billion people on this planet had a worse morning based simply on where they woke up. Don't forget your blessings when things seem bad.
