Yesterday was "one of those kinda days."<br /><br />One morning as I checked facebook, I read a post from my mother that my niece who was 9 months old at the time had accidently amputated her thumb. (They were able to reattach the thumb.)<br /><br />I also found out(again via mom on facebook) my father had a retinal detachment and had to have emergency surgery on one eye and a vitrious detachment in the other. <br /><br />I thought WTF, Could mom not call me to tell me that these things happened? They're kinda important. Her response was that she didn't want to repeat the story 100 times and I could read it just like everyone else and she'd only have to say it once.Refhaterhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09064218599795539844noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4542417548623715196.post-34920164547463775212010-07-13T22:51:15.846-05:002010-07-13T22:51:15.846-05:00My WTF moment happened quite a while ago.

When I was pregnant with my second daughter I was at the OB's office for my monthly check-up when the nurse walks in and tells me I need to get my blood work done. Well since I had it done the month before, I looked at her and asked what happened to the lab work I'd had done the month before. So then she proceeds to tell me I'd never had it done and this went back and forth for about 10 minutes. Finally I asked her whose name was on the chart, and much to our surprise, she had my ex-husbands new wife's chart, we were going to the same doctor and she had our charts mixed up. That was definitely a WTF moment for me.Linda Hendersonhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06496464041656744569noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4542417548623715196.post-44391126742225540102010-07-13T21:57:50.123-05:002010-07-13T21:57:50.123-05:00@Susan.

I'm glad to know that there are others out there with WTF Moments!LOL<br /><br />One of my most embarrassing: I have 4 children and they were begging for fast food, so I thought OK, I have some cash in my purse (I never have cash on me) so I went through the drive-thru and ordered. Got to the window and no cash! UGH! OK, no big deal I'll use my check card, got out the wallent, NO Check Card! It was still sitting on my desk from paying a bill on-line that morning. I had to ask the person to hold my food so I could drive home to get the card. Thankfully I was only a couple blocks away. <br />Come to find out my husband took my cash that morning for his lunch and "forgot" to tell me! Yes, I went there, it's all his fault!!

I knew that would happen to me and I'd never be able to pay for it.<br /><br />My most recent WTH moment was when I dropped my kids off at school and drove away, intending to go home, have coffee and write. A little voice from the back pipes up "Mom? No Jen today?" <br /><br />Yeah, I'd forgotten to get my youngest out of the car for preschool. I had to turn around and race back before my preschool provider left (she picks up at the elementary school). At least I forgot him the good way (if there is such a thing) and he was with me, instead of forgetting to pick him up. Right? Right? :-PMG Bradenhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00934146620368307764noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4542417548623715196.post-31203111171986949402010-07-13T16:33:12.194-05:002010-07-13T16:33:12.194-05:00Welcome Suzan,

I had a transcendent experience when I saw one of Monet's Water Lily paintings at a museum a few years ago. I was listening to the museum's recorded tour, which included music by Debussy, on their headphones and rounded the corner just as "Reverie" kicked in. I gasped. I stood there with my mouth open, watching the painting seem to come to life in the tiny spotlights while "Reverie" played in the background. It was just one of those moments. I've never forgotten it.<br /><br />That bag is MINE. <br /><br />:-)<br /><br />TJBTJ Bennetthttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08724851315229357354noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4542417548623715196.post-16446396874760267972010-07-13T12:17:31.638-05:002010-07-13T12:17:31.638-05:00Love the blog.

Of course, around here, because my boys are not allowed to use either of the other two options, they've devised What the Mess. Have no idea how that came to be, but I guess in this house we now have WTM moments, and many of them.<br />Anything involving laundry and my teen becomes a WTM moment. Keep in mind he is a very bright kid, great grades, the works. But... one day he called me while I was at work, frantic because the washing machine was broken. I rushed home, fully expecting water to be everywhere, but there was nothing. All was quiet. "I don't know what happened, Mom. One minute it was going fine and the next it just stopped." WTM, I wanted to say. It wasn't broken - it was FINISHED WASHING. LOL If that were his only run-in with laundry, we'd be fine. However, he and laundry seem to provide the family with plenty of those what the moments. :)Kara Chttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12056143467787741990noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4542417548623715196.post-46206528931446501322010-07-13T11:19:46.917-05:002010-07-13T11:19:46.917-05:00@Jody - I'll keep my fingers crossed for you o...@Jody - I'll keep my fingers crossed for you on your surgery tomorrow.

I had a WTH moment this morning I had planned to go with some girl friends for coffee this morning but woke to a screaming sinus headache and begged off. Good thing, am having knee surgery tomorrow and I completely forgot the motion machine lady was coming this morning. So instead of coffee with the girls I was home to be fitted for the machine. Sad part I put both events in my ipad calendar and didn't realize they were fro the same day.
