I started my day out feeling a little blah! My sink was full of water backed up with dishes, dirty dishes, all over my counters. My car was dead when I woke up. And I was not motivated to workout, even though I did. Then the maintenance man showed up, Blue barked at him and woke Mason from his nap all while I was on the phone with a potential client. Cranky baby for remainder of day. called potential client back and did not get her. Rain started and it got colder. Bleh! Ann and I jumped car but could not get it to hold a charge and I desperately needed to go to grocery store. When I got home I could not get the TV on. Boys were hyper and just crazy until I put them to bed 30 minutes later than I wanted to. Makes me want to scream just thinking about it again.
While I was laying with Sullivan I was thinking about my day and I was thinking about how my tomorrow was going to be. I felt a bit stressed, frustrated and a little sad. You see these are the times when Mike would have been here to help. And immediately my frustration started to slip away as I remember something someone said to me today. As I was walking to the car from the gym Mason got in a mans way. I apologised and he said, "It is OK, I like children." He then started to tell me about his granddaughter he lost last year at 13 months young. As we got more into conversation he ended up telling me that his father was diagnosed with lung cancer last year and his wife last week. My heart sank just thinking about it. I will certainly pray for health for this family. He then said that the loss of this innocent life as bad as it was made him really appreciate his grandchildren. Wow. And here I am complaining about a dead battery or that my TV wont come on. Yes today was frustrating but I am so thankful for my families and my friends health and safety. I do not take that for granted not one single moment. And...I am so thankful that my dear friend Ann was there for me the entire day. She helped me with my car, gave me a ride to the gym, worked out with me, gave me her keys while she was gone in case I needed to go anywhere, let me take her car to store, fixed me dinner, figured out the issue with my TV and then gave me a great big hug. (I am sure there is more) Wow, I have so much to be grateful for. Sometimes we have these days where everything seems to go wrong and we just need to settle in and go to bed, or stay up late and get things done. But no matter what, this too shall pass. It could always be worse and there is always something, lots of things to be thankful for. I will have a much better attitude tomorrow, I promise. And, I will see my husband in 40 something days!!! San Diego here we come!!!
