You're chasing coffee beans you spilled all over the counter while trying to grind them at 5am.
 
You spend most of the early morning deciding if the kid who woke up with
 a bad head cold is okay enough to go to school or should just stay home
 and sleep.
 
Having left the sick child home, you take the well child to the school 
bus, only to find out that his bus route and time have been changed 
without you knowing, and that you have, therefore, missed the bus by ten
 minutes.
 
You spend ten minutes trying to get a cab in the rain and then hit your head--hard--on the door getting in.
 
After managing to get the missed-the-bus child to school in the cab, you
 practically drown in the torrential rain while trying to get to work.
 
Though you don't drown, you, and every important piece of paper in your coat pockets, arrives at work soaked.
 
Luckily, with a start like this, there's not anywhere to go but up. By 
day's end, you are dry (though the papers and coat take a little 
longer), the sick child is on the mend, and somehow, just somehow, you 
have put it all behind you and moved on. Because with a morning like 
that, you know the day's just got to get better.
