Murphy?s Law Strikes Again


By Iowa Girl Eats (Visit website)



You’re familiar with Murphy’s Law, right? The law which states that everything that can go wrong, will? Enter my Murphy’s Law morning! 8O


I decided I needed a kick-butt, morning workout to get my day started today! :) I was wide-eyed and bushy tailed when my alarm went off at 5am, looked out the window and bam. Ice storm! :( Schools are canceled, 1/4-1/2 inch of ice is expected – the works. I decided, despite the weather, to continue on with the plan. I figured it’d be better to get on the roads before all the regular morning traffic hit, right?


Totally right! The roads were pretty bad, but traffic was light and I got to work (where my gym is at) in a decent amount of time. As I got out and was collecting my things…it happenedno get ready bag!! My flaming red, can’t-miss-it-if-you-tried, bag with all of my toiletries, cosmetics, etc. was still sitting at the bottom of the stairs. At home. Bum. Deal.


Back home I went to shower and get ready. Then I noticed the cough, and the sore throat. I think I’m getting sick! NUTS!


That, in a nutshell, has been my Murphy’s Law morning.


On the bright side, they say bad things always come in threes. Ice storm, forgetting my gym bag and getting sick pretty much covers it. It can only get better from here – right?!


Totally right, again, because Overnight Oats is on the breakfast menu. :)

Well, sorry to unload my Murphy’s Law morning on you all. I need to think big picture – earthquake in Haiti – my problems are tiny – type things. Perspective is the name of the game!


Happy humpday!
