how to turn a bad morning into a good day

Hello ladies,  I am willing to listen to any and all advice, wise words, or experience you have for me on this topic.  I have had a bad morning.

  My 3 year old daughter (who has been potty trained for almost 2 years now) had an accident this morning.  She normally goes to the bathroom on her own and so I didn’t think to ask her if she had to go or not.  I just walked into the kitchen to find her completely naked, sitting on the kitchen table!  Why she feels the need to sit on the table, I will never know.  Then she calmly tells me that she had an accident and needs a bath.  So, I run upstairs to run a bath and then run back downstairs to find and clean up her accident.  She had a very big accident, not only in her clothes but also all over the floor and on one of her favorite puzzles.  I cleaned up the floor, threw out the puzzle and took her dirty p.j.’s back to the main level to the laundry room.  Then I went back into the kitchen to get my daughter only to see her pulling apart a new cassett tape and crumpling up the tape.  Apparently she was trying to get it out of the cassett player.  It didn’t work.  So, I grabbed my naked little girl and ran her up to the bath.  My oldest daughter, 7, who is quite responsible, said that she would take a bath with her and help her get cleaned up.  I thought, GREAT!, now I can go and finally eat something and have a devotion.  I thanked her and ran back down to the main level to eat.  While I am in the middle of writing in my prayer journal I hear shouting coming from the bathroom upstairs.  Just as I am getting up to investigate, I here a sound like running water coming from the hallway.  So I go check it out to find water ABSOLUTLY POURING out of the ceiling onto the hallway floor!  I ran back upstairs to see what was going on to find my daughters still sitting in the tub.  My youngest is holding a larg yougurt tub full of water ( we use it as a bath toy) and wearing a rather sly smile on her face.  The bathroom is flooded, as well as the carpet in the hallway near the door.  She had taken several yougurt tubs full of water and dumped them into the little ledge between the the tub and the wall.  Then it had run around the edge of the tub, and having nowhere else to go, ran down the edge of the tub and filled the floor with water as well!  I asked my oldest doughter why she didn’t call me when her younger sister had done this the first time.  She didn’t know.  So, after going through many, many towels, I got the mess of water cleaned up on both levels, called my husband to ask if I should call a plumber, got the kids dried and dressed and put all of the laundry into the laundry room.  Then I checked downstairs, where all three of my kids were, to see what they were up to now.  They were all in the office     (they are not allowed to be in my husbands office alone)  trying to get onto the computer all at once (they are also not allowed on the computer without supervision).  So after getting everyone out and reminding them of the rules, I couldn’t help but think that the whole day is ruined!  Then I looked at the clock and it was only 9:25 am!  I still have a whole day of school and housework and cooking and childcare to go through!  but I’m beat!   I’m already ready for a cozy chair a cup of hot chocolate and a good book! 

  So, I know I’m not the only one who has had a bad morning with the whole day to go through still!  What have you lovely ladies done to turn your day around after it was off to a bad start?  Thanks for listening to my rant!  I am looking forward to any and all ideas!
