Okay....I admit it....life sometimes sucks enough to question whether or not I should have just stayed in bed...for years!
Is it just me, or do others out there exist who can snag the gasoline cap trap door backing up to get a "little closer" to the gas pump, or run over the garden hose that I LEFT ....I SWEAR...ONE INCH into the grass, and of course it winds 50 times around the blade takes two hours to pull, winch, cut and grind out, or drop a screw on the floor and it finds the only crack within 20 feet on my cement...rolls in it and of COURSE IS NOT MAGNETIC so it can only be fished out by using a wire thinner than a human hair or chiseled out of the cement.
Oh the stories I could tell here....but won't because some might want to cover their eyes when I walk by, or run for cover when I drive thru the neighborhood.
I remember once, I carefully and purposefully put a glass mantel to a lantern up in a cupboard way up over the refrigerator.... which MY wife has NEVER opened up in the whole 18 years we lived in my home. Can't find this mantel anymore cause they don't make them like this, so I took extra caution to carry it into the house, up high over the refrigerator and way back in the shelf...so I knew that when the parts to fix the lantern came I would A) know where I put the darn thing, and B) it would be safe and sound.
Well sure enough, my wife decided to put some potato masher, or automatic apple masher she seldom used away....didn't see it and knocked that thing into 20 pieces. OF COURSE SHE WAS SORRY....but not as sorry as I was that I didn't just leave the darn thing on the garage floor where stuff stays for months at a time without ever being moved.
Is it just me?? How do you cure this problem? Should I call an exorcist?? Or concede to just doing what my mother always said was safe..."stay home and learn to knit"???
