And one step back, a very confusing day today. For a while I didn't know whether I should make today's rantings positive or negative so here's the rundown.
*Disclaimer- list may be long and prolonged exposure my cause retinal harm and an indescribable urge to eat ding dongs and ice cream. Read at your own risk!*
1. I woke up in a good mood so that's a +.
2. I found out our fridge is broken shortly after taking a bite of my corn chex with some pretty nuclear milk so that's a huge -.
3. It's labor day sale time at Sears so my new fridge is going to be on sale +.
4. Sears just happens to be closed today even though it's supposed to be the big labor day sale(when you live in nowheresville) so all my food is now disgusting -.
5. Ashlyn kicked Jeremy's last loose tooth right out of his face but he thought she did him a favor so it's all good +.
6. I won a free yard of fabric from the awesome Sew Mama Sew website (great blog and flickr group) big +++!
7. I made beef stew for dinner and the flavor was great and the meat was melt in your mouth fantastic but the potatoes got over cooked so I give it a +/-.
8. I cut out fabric for 7 fun little projects I hope to share later on in the week, yay for being productive +.
9. Cody dragged me into the woods to look for a lost arrow (-) but we found it and got to go home shortly there after so that's a wash.
No, I take that back. I hate being in the woods and I really didn't want to be there tonight in the almost dark with a flashlight that was so small I think the squirrels were laughing at me so that's definitely a -.
10. I lost some weight from my infamous ice cream and ding dongs diet and I weigh the same as I claimed to have weighed on my original drivers license, skinny jeans here I come +!
11. My chest is now non-existent and was the first thing to go -.
12. Our car has been running really off lately and it's going to cost an arm and a leg to fix it, ouch -.
13. I have an awesome family that cares for me and loves me very much and I'm so thankful to have them all, even the ankle biters +++.
Sometimes I forget (I think the milk had some sort of effect on my memory today ;p) how you can change your day just by deciding that it's going to be a good day no matter what. With all that happened and didn't happen today I could have thrown in the towel and cried my eyeballs out like normal or climbed in my shower and assumed the position chanting (I'm not that nuts yet). It is a terrible time of the year for us and the last thing we wanted to do is buy a new fridge and worry about our car. I decided though to make today a good one and overall when you count the many pluses, and there's so much more that I could never list all of them, as long as you are on the right side of the grass you're doing fantastic. I tend to get a little -ahem- negative at times but I am truly blessed beyond measure and don't let me forget that!
Sounds like you've conquered the most difficult thing of all which is pulling the + above the -'s! Kudo's to you. Don't know if I could have done it! I think the search for the arrow would have been the last draw! Just kidding. :)
