The month is nearly over so unless you have another couple of exceptional days your statement certainly implies that you will have sold more in one day than you have all month.
That is precisely what saarzi's post said, that she has sold more in one day than the rest of the month combined.
The actual point was that a month's worth of sales was not made in a single day. It migh be easier to see if I use some arbitrary figures.
Say an average month means 200 sales. Then let's say over the last 28 days, only 60 sales were made, then we get to today and 120 sales were made. The month's average is nearly the same, but the single day's sale certainly does not = a month's worth of sales (on average).
Markets can be volatile and unpredictable at the best of times, but being celebratory of a good day's sales doesn't automatically mean one has to discount the obvious volatility of the environment. In some cases, where the market is even more unstable due to a third party (say, for example, eBay) affecting (or even outwardly inhibiting) planning and growth, the instability is highlighted even more when things like this occur, and I personally don't see anything wrong with pointing that out, opting to open a discussion about it, nor would I suggest the OP should be nothing but happy about one good day of sales - it's a bigger picture thing, IMO.
Saarzi, for what it's worth, though I do tend to have relatively steady sales, actual volume ebbs and waves frequently. The way I deal with it is I don't project and plan for anything. 
(I'm only half-joking is the sad part).
