Upside: Today is another Mommy and Tyler day! We woke up, had breakfast, and started cleaning the house. Ty was watching a video downstairs, and I went to go start a load of laundry. Only to find...
Downside: Our water was off. To the whole house. My first thought? "I paid the water bill, I know I did!" - ha ha! So I called the township office, and found out our town had a water main break, and we'd be without water for several hours. That meant I couldn't do much housework, so...
Upside: Tyler and I decided to go out and run a few errands! We got in the car...
Downside: and heard a funny "spinning" sound. We drove it to the dealership, and found out that it's going to cost lots and lots of dollars to fix my poor car. As in, so much that it makes me sick to my stomach. Ugh. And we were thinking about selling the car!
Upside: I brought a picture to Hobby Lobby and had it framed. The lady gave me a random 50% off discount for the frame! That was nice of her :)
Upside: and when we got back home, our water was back on. Woo hoo!
Too bad that I can't magically make my car fix itself for free. So, now we're back home and I'm sitting down to a cup of vanilla chai tea before I get to work on the house. My Dad had some good wisdom for me when I called and gave him my tale of woe. He reminded me that in the grand scheme of things, these are such LITTLE things to be upset about. It's not so bad after all.
