I looked down my leg and noticed that my brand new pair of stockings had a run in them. Note to self: get a damn manicure and I might as well add a pedicure so my big old mama toe doesn’t go through the reinforced toe because I am distracted with all the questions that might be thrown at me this morning. My dog is begging for attention and in my haste she gets my fish oil pill while I am try to ingest a rawhide snack without choking to death. As my dog flashes a smile at my stupidity, I realize that it’s Charles Osgood going through the stories being featured on CBS Sunday Morning. I beckon my dog back to bed and we pick the hottest shade of scarlet nail polish for me to wear to my job interview…tomorrow.

This is cute. I know those mornings well! :)
ReplyDeleteAh, a great morning to go back to bed and start over. Love the picture of the dog!! Thank you so much for linking up with FSF, look forward to reading more of your writing :)
ReplyDeleteThanks, Lillie and thanks for coming up with Five Sentence Fiction. A few writer friends are loving it and I got the fever, too!
DeleteThat's great to hear!! Love it when writers get the writing fever :D
DeleteGave me a good giggle...especially the fish pill and doggy snack. Gotta love the hidden Sunday mornings!
ReplyDeleteDonna - the fish pill and doggy snack are from real life. And then there are the times I give the cats dog treats and they just look at me and feel sorry for me.
DeleteEvery Monday I wish it was a day of mistaken identity like this! Nice flash of colour at the end with the scarlet nail polish.
ReplyDeleteP.S. I was glad to see the shoutut to CBS Sunday Morning. I'm going to assume you watch it...perfect Sunday viewing
Jo-Anne- I love that show. I feel my IQ take a big jump on Sunday mornings.
DeleteOh boy I've had mornings like this. Love your take on the prompt.
ReplyDeleteLoved it! I once got the kids up for school on the last day of holidays! Great use of the prompt.
ReplyDeleteBeing a Brit I have no idea who Charles Osgood is but I do understand mornings like this.The good thing about a Sunday morning though is you can go back to bed and start over. Loved it! xx
ReplyDeleteI like a dog who smiles; nicely done. I'm not familiar with Charles Osgood either, but it doesn't detract.
ReplyDeleteLoved picturing you with the rawhide in your mouth!!
