Rainy Days and Monday's...

Today started out with bad...I walked out to take T to school and the tire was flat on the van, and it was pouring rain! Thank goodness, I have a spare car! When I started my spare car, the gas gauge was on empty!! Fun, fun..pumping gas at 3.57 a gallon in the rain!! Not to mention, I forgot my wallet, and had to pay with the change in the center of my console...5.00. I held my breath to school and home! HA!! But, I had purchased a little compressor, so I was able to inflate the tire and make it in to have it fixed before my doctor's appointment! What a morning!! Monday all the way!! I had to stop and remember that sometimes things happen for a reason. I remembered the guy from a newspaper article that had to stop and get a band aid for his blistered heel on his way to work at the World Trade Center on 9/11, and because he did this and was late for work, he was not in the World trade center on 911 when the attacks happened. Just a different perspective of taking a negative morning and making sense out of the situation! Sometimes, you just have to look at things differently to get thru the day! My daughter said.."hey mom, be thankful that you always keep change in the car for emergencies." So, I guess this is one of my thankful's for today!! Bear was not too happy today because he did not get to ride to school with T! But, there is always tomorrow, right? He was so distressed about missing the car ride that he pooped in the garage to let me know how mad he really felt!! Thank God for Bear!! I had to stop and say a few curse words on that one!! I could not come up with a positive reflection for that!!! But maybe as Monday's go, I could be thankful that he did not poop in the van!! HA!! Have a great day!!

We had a dog that used to do that in the house when he was mad at us. My husband always said, "It;s a good thing he doesn't have diahhrea!!"
