(1) When you are getting ready for work, your cat will do everything in his power to sabotage this process. It is a matter of pride for Fluffy to get fur on your outfit every day. And you really should have known that laptop case made a great cat bed.
(2) Only your husband is better at getting in your way in the morning than the cat. When you are brushing your teeth, he will need the bathroom. When you are making tea, he will move your tea cup and make his lunch. He will cross the kitchen no less than 15 times during this process, making a separate trip for each item going in and coming out of the fridge.
(3) While you are simultaneously fixing your hair and figuring out what to do about that project at work, your husband will yell "Honey, where are my shoes?" As you ask yourself why he thinks you would know this, you notice there's a huge toothpaste stain on your blouse.
(4) If you put on one blue shoe and one black shoe, you will not notice until your cubicle mate tells the entire office about it.
(5) When your son was a little boy, you could never get him to go to sleep. You have now entered that phase of life where remembering your son as "awake" is a distant memory. He sleeps more than anyone you know. You'll have to call him 4 times this morning to wake him.
(6) You packed a nice healthy lunch this morning. You will be pulling into the parking lot at work before you realize it is still on the kitchen counter.
(7) Every day that same guy from the department upstairs arrives just before you and takes the last good parking spot near the building. You think to yourself if you arrived an hour early, he'd somehow know, and still beat you there.
As you walk into the building at work, where your job description resembles the Genie in "Aladdin" (think "Poof, what do you need, Poof what do you need, Poof, what do you need") you realize that if these are the worst of your problems, you've got a pretty darn great life after all.
