Stupid Rush *#@&#!

Growing up it was not uncommon to hear the phrase "STUPID RUSH" uttered by my dad after attempting some ill-advised feat typically resulting in more work and expense than necessary.  I had such an experience today and figured I would share my stupidity that all ya'll will be smarter than I am.  Cami asked me to find a bucket for the dog food.  There was a clean bucket right outside the garage door but I used it to wash the car so I started looking for a different one.  I spotted the bucket that you see on the top shelf behind the cast iron dutch oven.  I grabbed the car wash bucket to stand on and hoisted myself upon it to see what was in the bucket in question.  In order to tilt the bucket down far enough to see what was inside I had to pull the dutch oven forward to that two of its three legs were off the shelf.  That little voice in my head said " that dutch oven is going to fall" but I knew better than that! KABOOM!!! The obvious and inevitable (inevitable if you are being a STUPID RUSH) happened and the heavy cast iron dutch oven landed on the hood of my new car.


AWESOME!!!! I must say I was proud of myself for not freaking out.  Cami and the kids came out to see what all the commotion was about and I was standing there shaking my head and saying "Stupid Rush".

To add insult to injury after I got the bucket (not even the bucket on the top shelf, it was full of fertilizer) I was rinsing it off with hose and tossed the hose to the ground when it landed as pictured above and sprayed me right in the face. STUPID RUSH!!!!
