I’ve decided enough’s enough. This country-song life, however funny, is gonna take a turn.
Okay, so, since I’ve posted that post about ‘not sweating the small stuff’, you know, the one about the washing machine, vacuum, and camel pee? The following things have occurred:
*I broke yet ANOTHER tooth. $1153. (2 crowns – the broken one & the one next door. Figured I just get them both now, it was either that or pay one of the kids to chew my food for me.)
*We had to evict our tenant for non-payment of rent. I thought I followed the proper court procedures, but apparently used an outdated form and had to start over!
*Kaylee had a $100 stye in her eye
*My brother in law had his identity stolen
*My income tax return that I have been expecting was sent back. I forgot to attach one form.
*We discovered a leak. Somewhere in the bathroom…leaking through to the basement ceiling.
ENOUGH IS ENOUGH! lol. Let me tell ya, my life is SO MUCH MORE than these weird quirky things! I’ve always had these little things happen….and I don’t dwell on them. There’s nothing that I don’t laugh at. I’ve never been one to let the negatives get the best of me. I certainly don’t want my entire life to be defined as one big heaping country song.
I’m thinking if I get my whole ‘way of looking at things’ turned around maybe the rest will follow. That, to channel the positive may create more positive! So my goal for the rest of the year is to FOCUS. Enjoy the things that I dream about and make those dreams a reality. Focus on what I want to become and how to get there.

I’m sorry about all those unfortunate events. (((hugs)))
Sorry to hear about all these things. You have a wonderful attitude about it all. I don’t know if I could handle a country song.

Good for you! Sometimes when so much comes at you at once, you just have to let it roll off.
Sorry to hear about all the trouble you’ve been having.
I hope the rest of the year is much better!

1st time a Panera Sandwich, 2nd time while flossing. Yup. Flossing. Flossed a groove and it cracked.
Maybe it’s time for Dentures! (just kidding!)
That really sucks that you have had so many negative things happen. Keep the faith! Sounds like you are being tested. You’ll make it through and great attitude!
Camel pee? I think I missed something.
I think it’s high time to buy a lottery ticket. Your luck has got to turn around sooner or later and you might as well cash in.

That is a lot of junk to happen in a short time frame. Yuck.
Yeah, buy a loto ticket for sure! I think the planets are lining up for you.
And is it just me or did you “fix” your blog to have it less wide? looking good!

Sorry to hear about all these not-so-nice events! But I know you’re going to overcome each and every one of it. You’re Sheila, the mighty mom!
I know the feeling! Here’s to hoping the small stuff soon gives you a break!

Another tooth! On no. You’ve really gone through a lot lately. I hope things get better for you. I agree that if you have a positive outlook maybe you won’t have to go through anymore disappointments.
I’m trying hard to think of the positive out of all of this and I have to admit… I can’t. This shit just plain SUCKS MAJOR ASS!
I’m so sorry. This is beyond raining/pouring, this is a out right Katrina level disaster.
(((hugs)))

When you just wrote “for the rest of the year” I had to think for a moment about what month it is. And I noticed it’s February! You have a big plan to focus for another 10 months.
I’ll write Mr. Murphy a letter to leave you alone (and me too, please!)
No Sheila! Out of all that’s going on, I have to say the tooth problems sound so bad. The drill is echoing in my head and that is just excruciating for me to think about. Yes, it’s psychological but I can’t help it.

Wow that is quite a list. Good for you for taking this stroke of unfortunate luck into positive thinking

What a great goal, focus on the positive. I know how easy it can be to get sucked into the negative drain pool. Sorry to hear about all the trouble but I don’t believe that a positive attitude will be more positive into your life.
