Have you ever been really tired and headed for sleep when something unexpected happens and you know it's going to be a while before you get to crawl into that bed?
I was finally sleepy enough for bed late last night and I headed for the kitchen for a drink of water before turning in. My elbow knocked a water glass off of the counter, and it didn't break - it SHATTERED into a million tiny pieces! Usually, when I break glasses or dishes, they break into a few big pieces, maybe with some smaller ones, but this thing EXPLODED! I found some of the pieces 15 feet from where the glass hit the floor.
The kitties kept trying to get into the kitchen while I was sweeping (there's no door there), then I had to clean all the glass out of the broom and wet mop the floor to get all the itty-bitty pieces of glass, what a pain!
At least the kitchen floor is really clean this morning.
A similar thing happened a couple of years ago, it was late and my husband and I were about to turn in when we heard what sounded like a waterfall in the basement. Not a good sound! The hot water heater burst and water was pouring everywhere. Another late night...
Has this happened to you, too?
