Karma

Last week I started off with a snarky, woe-is-me post and you know what happened?  The week just got more "awesome".  I swear things went from suck to suckier to suckiest really quick.  I wound up catching whatever spring cold KP had and if you've ever been pregnant and sick you know you'd rather have someone rip your toenails out one at a time than have another cold without being able to take cold meds.  Then we had multiple nights of a newborn sleeping toddler.  As if being sick weren't enough, let's throw waking up at 5:50 am into the mix.  Followed by our dishwasher is on it's last leg, we are dog sitting, a playdate gone wrong, and I haven't been on the treadmill in over a week.  I'd just prefer to think last week never happened.

So this week we started out on a better note. Over the weekend we traded in my car for something that is cheaper but still afforded us the same "necessities" as the Equinox.  When we bought the Equinox I still had a job and my gigantic car payment wasn't an issue.  Fast forward on month later and I was laid off and we've been "making it work" for the past year and a half.  Saturday Jimmy decided enough was enough and we went to see what our options were at the local dealership.  We walked out with a Dodge Journey and an extra $100 in our pockets every month.  Win, win!

Sunday got even better.  Not only did I wake up feeling better {although still slightly stuffy} but Jimmy woke up with Kendall {first time for everything} and drop off at church went smooth{er}.  It wound up being a great, sunny, but not too hot day so we took Jimmy's "new" boat out for a family fun-filled afternoon.  
{Family hand holding in daddy's truck was my favorite moment from yesterday, I think we should drive in it more often.}

Then yesterday I posted the newest peace tee sale in hopes of raising money for little Violet and you guys are blowing me away!  I think it's safe to say that this is going to be our biggest order yet and Amy better have her sewing fingers ready!  It's times like these that I really wish I knew how to sew so that I could help her! 

Karma is a real thing, people.  Here I thought I was being all witty and funny with a side of snark when in reality I was just oozing negativity.  Literally it was like pouring out of every pore in my body, my mom even told me to go home and go to bed.  This week I'm choosing good.  Good thoughts, good deeds, good words in hopes of receiving those same things in return.  So far, so good.

  5. I'm not a fan of taking my husband's truck anywhere but it is sweet when we both get to sit with our girl.

  6. I'm the most venting, snarky, whiney person I know. And sometimes I think it makes me feel better, but I know others get tired of it. (They've even tweeted my about it!) But I don't mind when others do it.

    GGlad YOU are feeling better though! :)

  11. Agree with you 100%. And I just gotta tell you, my cousin was in a rollover accident in her Journey and literally walked away with nothing more than a broken nail. Good choice!!
