Holy Cow, Indeed!

Yup, holy cow!  I haven't talked to my sister yet this week, but she has a wonderful blog that I check out to keep up to date just in case we don't get a chance to talk.  So, I'm lamenting about the start of my day, which I will share with you in a moment, when I read her blog and find out that my niece had her appendix out yesterday.  Holy Cow, what else can I say.  Their summer has been one thing, not good thing, after another. 
So I am going to share with you how my day got started.  Except now that I have put it into perspective the start of my day isn't bad at all.  I got up at around 7:00, which is late for me, I get a load of laundry started and hop in the shower.  While in the shower I am thinking about the things that are going on in my life, none of them really bad, just busy.  I get out of the shower, still with a lot of stuff on my mind, dry off and get dressed.  I'm also thinking about going to get my hair cut this afternoon, which I always dread because my little Colombian hairdresser talks more than my husbands side of the family combined.  All I want is a haircut, darn it.
Off track, sorry.  So I am dressed and I brush my hair.  When my hair starts to grow out there is always a little cowlick that I have to contend with, so normally I just spritz a little hairspray on.  This time, because I am thinking of other things. I grab the spray can closest to me and spray it on the top of my hair.  OOPS, my hair is purple.  I take a closer look at the can and realize that I have just sprayed Kaboom on my hair.  Now the up side is that Kaboom turns white when the surface is clean so my hair didn't stay purple for long.  Still, I had to hop back in the shower and wash my hair again.
But I'm thinking, now, that no one in my house is sick right now, no one is in jail, no one is lost in a foreign country and I don't owe the IRS.  So, I'm off to a good start and I am NOT complaining about anything, at least today.
