Why I Didn’t Get Much Writing Accomplished This Week

I love to write. I know, duh, right? Seriously, though, writing is a stress reliever that I feel is essential to my daily life. When I don’t get my writing time in, I’m known to be a little cranky. This week, I have been feeling VERY cranky.

I’m going to make this short and sweet, because I’m not one to wallow in self-pity. And the main theme of this post, you will see, centers around gratitude. One thing I’m grateful for is that saying that "Things Come in Threes". If that’s true – I’m so done with this fluky stuff that has taken my week and upended it.

First, my husband’s car started so smell. And not that new car smell we all love. A burning kind of smell that alerted us to the fact that something was wrong. It was the radiator. We needed a new one. Then, my car got sick. She needed a new starter.

Remember how I said these things come in threes? Here’s what happened next. The small, brownish-yellow water stain over my two-year-old son’s crib became a much bigger issue than we expected. Check it out . . .

Note: The hole in the ceiling directly over the crib is nearly as large as the crib itself.
