My 11 year old had to share this pic with me last night.

It was her favorite from her Instagram feed for the day.

And that made me happy. And proud.

One Good Thing



So today yesterday was an awesome day.

Not.

1.  I started with a double root canal. 3 hours in the chair. With my mouth open. And a dental dam.

It goes on my list of 5 Worst Things I've Lived Through.

I know. I'm a bit of a whiner.

3.  Then I came home to an 85 degree home that should have been 78. Uh oh. Broken AC. And the temp just kept climbing and climbing until it maxed out at 89. At 10 pm. And it doesn't appear to be cooling down as the night goes on.

We had a repairman come check out the problem. He decided it's broke. Gee, really?

Needs a new compressor. Good news is we rent. Bad news is we're not sure how many days until it gets fixed. If it's not fixed tomorrow, I will probably break down and head to a hotel.

3. Hubby called to say he needs a ride home from work. Because the check engine light came on in the car we just replaced the engine in. And got back a week ago.

Seriously? Is this for real?

4.  This one is the one good thing. I found a beach house to rent for Fall Break. It turns out if you spend more than 5 hours on a simple task, you will be rewarded. La Jolla, here we come!

I will be smiling tonight as I sleep, with beads of sweat on my upper lip. But no tooth pain, thanks to that prescription I had filled........

It's been a crazy, fun-filled, week around here. Balanced out with boring responsibilities. And one really, really crappy day. But that's how you recognize the awesome moments! And there really are so many awesome moments if you just know to look for them!
Have a happy weekend!
