Fill 'er Up

I started the day yesterday as I usually do with my pot of coffee.  However it wasn't enough so on my way to my first appointment, dressed in beautiful suit and mink coat, I stopped at Dunkin' Donuts for another cup.  Th eguy filled it right to the top and then did not fully snap the cap in place.  As I put it into the cup holder, the first splash hit the car.  As I picked it up, it spilled all over my coat and skirt.  Why the hell does the cup need to be filled to the very top?  Am I going to complain because I missed a sip?

Stop for lunch, order soup.  Again, it it filled to the very top of the bowl so as I walk it is spilling onto my paperwork and hands.  Yet another mess.

To add insult to the extreme, I then make dinner for the boys. Boiling milk, unattended, also spills all over the top of the pot and makes a complete mess of my recently cleaned stove. Now I am to blame.

The final straw came that night as I fill the bathtub with water for a relaxing hot bath, glass of wine at hand.  Well the phone rang, I forget about the tub until of course I notice a puddle in the doorway.  The water must have been running for 1/2 hour.  Yet another mess.

I blame the coffee guy for all my excess problems yesterday.  Talk about needed to set limits!
