Always look on the briiiiiight si-ide of life!*

*Props to any of you who, off the top of your noggin', can name that Broadway show.

Ah yes, in life, it is mucho important to try and see the silver lining in all things. Take today, for instance.

The dog peed on the bathroom floor. -- Instead of screaming any number of expletives upon discovering such a situation, one might instead think, well, now is the perfect time to mop the floors since I was needing to do it anyway.

The boy bit one of his friends at school. -- Instead of thinking the fleeting thought of picking out a sweet little girl to take back home instead of said child, one might instead realize the value in the fact that said child can hold his own amongst his peers.

The boy peed on the newly washed sheets, blanket, and mattress pad in his bed. -- Instead of almost upchucking on one's self from the stench of the situation, one might instead find joy in the fact that now is the perfect opportunity to open up the new package of Christmas sheets one secretly might have purchased the other day (while on sale -- one must use one's common sense and practicality, of course).

The same boy then proceeded to poo in the tub (which surprisingly, never happens). -- While fishing poo out of the bathtub with one's hands, one might be a bit overwhelmed at this turn of events and feel the urgent desire to scream bloody murder. Instead, one might think, well, at least it was not while I myself was lounging in the bathtub.

Ah yes, no raining on this girl's parade today. It is a good day, indeed!

(Don't forget my little giveaway! It ends tomorrow!)

hahaha, you sound like me! ;) I was actually relieved the other day when the puppy went on the hard floor instead of the carpet. It's the little things in life, lol...

That is really a horrible string of events - but you are really right all of those things certainly could have been worse -- take for intance our dog, who can only experience bodily relief indoors if she is on our bed.
