Ever have one of those days where you just know you should have stayed in bed?  That was yesterday for me and boy was it a doozy!

Apparently on Wednesday night/Thursday morning, a torrential downpour came through Oklahoma.  I was too busy sleeping like a log to notice.  So when it came time to leave for work Thursday morning, I thought nothing of checking the weather report.  Mistake number one.

B and I get halfway to our destination when we see a road closed sign.  We carelessly thought it was for one of the dinky backroads that often gets flooded.  We continue on our journey.  Mistake number two.

We found out what that road closed sign meant.  It meant the ROAD WAS CLOSED!  Well why didn’t they say that in the first place!  So we U-turn with the 10 other idiots who also thought the sign didn’t apply to them.  After back-tracking a few miles we turn down one of the dinky backroads.  Remember when I said they often flood, yeah, that was mistake number three.

At this point, I was laughing hysterically trying to convince B we should give up and go get back in bed.  Determined and frustrated B had other plans, and apparently some work to do that day.

It only got more convoluted from there.  Perpendicular to our route to work was major road construction.  That major road construction had detour signs set up all over the dinky backroads.  B and I thought the detour signs were directing traffic through the flood.  This brings us to mistake number four.

Finally after 45 minutes of rights, lefts and U-turns, we made it to the highway.  Only to realize we could only get on the highway in the opposite direction of the way we needed to go!  I will leave out the profanity that was now spewing out of B’s mouth.  We had to drive five miles north before we could finally exit, turn around and head south.

After all that, I finally made it to work an hour late.  I walked in, set my stuff down and the roof above my desk was leaking.  I should have stayed in bed.  Mistake number five.
