Round 2 – The Good and the Bad

22 Jan

The Good: The sun came out this morning after four straight days of rain:

The Bad: That was all we saw of the sun today.  Five minutes later it started raining and it hasn’t stopped since.

The Good: The doctor told Ali this morning that his chest pains are not an indication of a heart attack.

The Bad: He too is now banned from eating bread and pretty much all other carbs.  Between the two of us and all our dietary restrictions eating out is now going to be impossible.

 The Good: I am a better wife than I thought…I walked in a downpour to get Ali the lunch of champions - Lentil Soup from Corner Bakery and drugs from CVS.

The Bad: Instead of saying thank you for battling the harsh winter conditions, Ali informed me that I bought the wrong Sudafed. 

The Good: I didn’t push him off the balcony.

The Bad: He is still here and is asking me where the receipt is.  I think he expects me to rush back and exchange it. 

The Good: I had every intention of making something other than eggs and defrosted vegetables for lunch.  I even researched a good recipe for Butternut Squash Soup.

The Bad: I was too busy putting my husband’s drug addiction before my own needs.  At 1:30 I gave up all hopes of soup and had….you guessed it.  Scrambled eggs and defrosted vegetables! 

The Good: When I went to pick Maya up from school the temperature had risen to nearly 60 degrees!

The Bad: While taking the above picture I happened to notice that a little yellow light in the shape of an engine was lit up.  That can’t be good.

The Good: Maya had a great time at the Play Place and this time she left with all her teeth intact.

The Bad:  A lady I had never met before decided to give me a lecture about how I would “absolutely regret it I didn’t have more children.”

The Good: I am excited that twenty-four of my readers want to take L.A. Candy off my hands.

The Bad: Only twenty-four of my readers want a free book?  If you are interested it’s not too late to enter!
