We all know sweating the small stuff is stupid, a waste of time, a big waste of energy, and a really big annoyance not just to ourselves, but to the poor souls closest to us. It just so happens that trying to avoid wrinkles, or imperfections, is one of the best ways to sweat the small stuff.
So after I worried, fretted, got stressed and rushed around like a mad woman to make the house "perfect" and the food and drinks "just right" for the two back-to-back parties we had this weekend, guess what happened?
The toilet overflowed. And it wasn't just water. Or liquid, if you know what I mean.
And we're not talking just a little overflow and splash on the floor here, either. We're talking a full-on, inch-of-water-in-the-bathroom-and-more-making-its-way-in-a-river-down-the-hardwood-floored-hallway-and-then-tracked-all-over-the-house kind of flood.
So, just when you think you've got it all perfect, you're ankle deep in poop water. Need I say more?
I almost cried when I read this...in hysterics and real crying becaues this is what always happens. It's so true...you sweat the small stuff and then something big happens, throwing a wrenchin our "unwrinkled" mess.
