Mom vs. The Bad Mood

You know when you are in a bad mood you tend to do things a little more harsh than usual and with a little less thought.  Well, I was taking out the upstairs bathroom trash the other day. I tied the bag in a knot and decided to toss it down the stairs where I would pick it up later and take it the rest of the way to the outside trash can.  Unfortunately, my combination of bad mood, harshness and lack of thought came back to bite me just as the bag left my hand and began bouncing down the steps. Only then did I think, "I should have tied that in a double knot".

And there I stood, helpless, watching the bag of bathroom trash break open and tumble down the stairs.
