Today was just one of those days. One of those days I was talking about last Thursday, that I hardly ever have but do on occasion. A day when everything was going wrong, or hitting me wrong, and I just couldn't jolly myself out of my bad mood. It started off with torrential rains. The east coast is getting hammered with some much needed rain but we didn't really want it all at once! Then Max missed the bus. Waking Max up makes me feel very sorry for my sister who's job it was to get me out of bed in the morning for school. I was a sleepy head and I honestly don't know how she didn't kill me when we were children.
I worked all day on a REO listing/offer and it was just one phone call after another, and one change or demand after another and multiple offers on the same listing. I hope my buyers get it, they are the nicest folks.
In the midst of all the rain and the grief, I delivered meals on wheels today (in the rain) and had to make mashed potatoes for 20 people because Max was serving at the Salvation Army tonight as part of our church's youth group. I had to get him there and pick him. The house was in complete disarry and Max didn't do the few chores I asked him to do and then was bratty about it.
I had just about given this day up for lost when my cousin Donna reminded me on Facebook that it might be time for Antonio to visit my wall. That man always makes me feel more cheerful and it wasn't long before I had a bunch of cheery comments to make me smile. Then my sweet friend Tanya Nouwens sent me an email that I was mentioned in her first Thankful Thursday post. She's a doll and her post picked me right up.
Now, as I type this, Jack just walked in the back door with a frozen banana from Dairy Queen! I'm getting ready to watch Grey's Anatomy and enjoy a glass of wine after my frozen banana.
Life is good. Even when it takes us a while to realize it.
Carpe Diem!
