Okay, so let me tell you that Tuesday was an awful day. Do you ever have those days where nothing you do goes right?? I needed a miracle just to get through the day. Thankfully, Heather took Ella for just 10 minutes, and sometimes 10 minutes is all you need!
Here is a list of things that happened… all in one day. You might think I’m crazy for freaking out about these things, but I’m stretched a little thin this week, so it really pushed me over the top :).
1. A credit card company has been charging me $15 a month since I payed my credit card off in June and never sent me a statement. Finally four months later they sent me a letter. Hey thanks for the heads up! That card was canceled today, but not before I have to petition them to credit the charges and remove the stain from my credit report. AAAGGGHHH. Not to mention the 60 to 90 days that will take.
2. While trying to spend $11 at Michael’s, my debit card was denied. What?! Due to some “banking errors,” I was insufficiently funded. After a few lengthy telephone calls with multiple banks, my account is righted. Why can’t anybody in charge of money do something right?
3. While cleaning my kitchen tonight I leaned over a candle and burned a brand new sweater, only worn twice. Goodwill, here I come.
4. I started to pack up things for the farm this afternoon and realized that the $15 Rubbermaid container I bought on Monday to cart stuff back and forth managed to come home with the wrong sized lid. Apparently I have no concept of size or depth perception and bought a too-small lid. I’m not even returning it; I cannot possibly be bothered!
So… I’m thankful that none of these things affect my eternity, my child or my health. Instead of leaving you with angry pictures, I thought I’d share these sweet pictures of Ella and “my daddy” (her new term of endearment) cutting grass on Sunday (in their pajamas). She is suddenly over her fear of the tractor and was happy to help. Sweet.
