My hubby put a pot of coffee on this morning before he went to work, at 5am. He knew I wouldn't be getting up till much later because I had a bad night. So after it brewed he turned it off so the coffee wouldn't get that old taste from sitting too long. When I got up, at around 10:30,only had to pour my cup of coffee and heat it in the microwave. I put my sugar and milk in my cup and filled it with coffee. I put it into the microwave and set it to one minute and 20 seconds, thinking it would need that long since it was cold. I went to the bathroom and came out when the microwave beeped it was over. I opened the microwave and to my surprise I had a huge mess. the coffee boiled right out of the cup. The whole thing. the cup was totally empty. What a mess I had to clean up. I couldn't clean it right away because it was so hot. After it cooled off I had to take out the glass tray and it dripped all over the floor. So I finally got it all cleaned up and thought Boy what a way to start the day. Is this what my whole day is going to be like.
Share your experiences you've had. Have you started your day off with a bad experience? Did this continue the whole day for you?

Next time don't put in the sugar and milk before you put it in the microwave. Just nuke the coffee black and add the extras after it's heated.
I've had some mornings where I got up, got the coffee pot ready to go and started it... and then realized after its made a huge mess that I forgot to put the caraffe under the drip.

My morning usually start with getting my son ready for the school but in case my one year old daughter also gets up then it becomes so difficut to manage. I try and lie down next to her praying that she will go back to sleep. By the time I come back leaving my son at school , (I have a help of maid that comes and sits till I come back from dropping my son off.)My daughter gets up again some days then I just have to skip my coffee and start off weith her brushing and milk and potty that spoils my peaceful mornings. Because by the time I get fre of all its time to get the House cleaned, cwach clothes and the daily routine starts.
In case she sleeps for another twenty minutes then I do get time to read paer and have my tea in peace but thats very rare these days.

I've had mornings like this. The only thing to do is to survive them. Sometimes I will 'restart' by doing something that I know will work out all right, and then pretend that was the first thing I did that day.

the latest bad morning I had was the terrible breadfast made by myself~LOL
I just wondered if I could bake a perfect pizza following the instruction on the cover. Unfortunately, I failed and the over baking turn it into half-carbon which I had to eat duo to no else food in stock(even a piece of toast~) and had to hurry to school.

A couple of days before Thanksgiving I woke up and went to the fridge. I had put the turkey on the bottom shelf and meant to put a dish under it but forgot. There was a melted mess that I got to clean up. When I pulled the turkey out it dripped all over the floor. I had to clean the bottoms of everything that was down there with the turkey too.
After I finished cleaning up that mess, I got out an egg so I could make my daughter some breakfast. I picked up the egg and dropped it on the floor in the same place I just finished scrubbing. I wanted to go crawl back into bed. Unfortunately my daughter didn't feel the same way.

This week is considered as one of my unlucky days especially every morning.
I have a 7am class but I failed to report to class since I woke up late, hahaha. 2 days in a row in one week.
