A comedy of errors, of sorts

I think my store set a world record. We had these 2 beautifully decorated fake trees right by our doors. In the space of about half an hour, one had been knocked down once and the other twice, mangling the ornaments on them (lost about 60-70% of the ornaments total.) The first time was irritating, second and third were both funny and sad.

Ooh, ooh, my store has you beat!!

Game day saturday!! We set up brand spanking new tailgate tent display, and it falls within the first five minutes of opening because I ran into one of the legs of the frame without looking. (so I'm a klutz. your point...?)

Set it up again, and little boy tries to get one of the balloons tied to the frame. He shimmies UP the frame, grabs, yanks...and manages to tear at the grommets, ripping the fabric, and denting the frame...

Aaaallll in the span of 20 minutes...

lol, reminds me of my own klutziness...
Over the span of one week, I did the following:

-Slid on a plastic bag and nearly twisted my ankle.
-Slid around on the over-waxed floors in some places.
-Collided with the rubbish bin when taking drawers off to cash.
-Tripped over the basket caddy.

And here I thought you were going to say the trees were stolen.

oh and speaking of Christmas trees, I recently put one of ours up (with my sister's help). We have two cats, both of whom are old enough now to know full well not to climb the Christmas trees (they're also too big) but they still knock the ornaments off. Guess how long it'll be before they knock an ornament off?
