10 Reasons Why I Take Bubble Baths by Candle Light, Listen to Mozart, and Drink Merlot on Fridays

1. I walked past the laundry room.
2. The episode that involved a walk through the house carrying a plunger.
3. The puddle in the kitchen I stepped with socks on.
4. Laurel did her homework at the last minutes and left for school without her folder.
5. My student scheduled tennis lessons on Tuesdays which is also when
    she happens to have piano  lessons.
6. The fight we all got into in the car over Taco Bell.
7. Deidre found an old sandwich that was left over in someone's lunchbox and offered me a piece.   
    How sweet.
8. The cranberry juice spill on the carpet that was steam cleaned two weeks ago.
9. I opened the power bill.
10. The now thawed and useless carton of ice cream that ended up in the bathroom 
     for some apparent  reason.

Alas....it's only Tuesday..sigh.
