Good/Bad/Whatevs

Let me just tell you a bit about my day...

• Woke up early for a busy day, actually showered - good
• decided to "make" a nicer-ish breakfast for Report Card day - good
• went down to freezer, saw that our sewer backed up - bad, very bad
• 8 people can't flush toilets til noon - bad (never been more grateful to have 3 in diapers)
• Took children up to school to retrieve report cards-  SUPER good
• Took 3 children to their well child appointments- good
• got reminded about our need for more exercise - bad  :(
• Spent 3 hours at said appointments- bad
• Came home, then immediately took dog to vet - ambivalent
• Found out dog has a tumor - bad
• 11 year old remembering his experience and bursting into tears upon hearing this news - very bad
• Finding out tumor is benign - very good
• Finding out dog needs $1000 surgery on her knees and hips -bad
• The irony in getting reminded about our dogs need for more exercise and knee surgery- pretty funny
• Finding out your son was invited to birthday party hours before the party takes place?  eh, whatevs.
• Agreeing to take your son on a "scooter" ride/walk only to open up the double stroller and find a bird's nest, complete with eggs, inside? - bad
• Did I mention the double stroller was inside my house?  Very bad.
• Having 3 strapping young men ready to transplant said nest into nearby tree?  Good.
• Taking your children on the scooter ride/walk only to have one fall and bloody up his ankle? - bad
• Being able to heat up leftovers from yesterday's fabulous BBQ with friends - soooo goood.
• Being able to take on a day like to day and still be smiling at the end of it?  priceless
