Good news and bad news


Good news
: I bought a birthday present for my niece - a Target gift card. Bad news: I lost it. More bad news: I've looked EVERYWHERE for that sucker and can't find it. Good news: now the house is totally straightened up because I've searched and organized every nook and cranny.

Good news: I got a new card for her. Bad news: I got pulled over for speeding on my way home from buying the second fracking card. Good news: I didn't get a ticket. The kind, young officer gave me a break. Bad news: he probably took pity on me because I turned into a big baby and started crying.

Good news: I got all the breads done for our teacher gifts. Bad news: I ran out of ingredients and had to go to the store in the middle of making them. Good news: I timed it so the final batch was baking while I was sitting in the carpool line at school. Bad news: I was a little uncomfortable about baking bread while not actually in the house. Good news: It came out just fine. Bad news: I was so anxious to get home to the bread I forgot Daniel at school. I remembered the other 6 kids I was picking up but not my own son.



Good news: I had an open bottle of wine at home. I started in on that baby at 4:48. Bad news: there is no bad news about open bottles of wine.

Sheesh.

  1. Good news/bad news stories are usually not my favorite...actually, let me rephrase that, they're not my favorite when the involve ME! But YOURS are hysterical!

    I am so honored to not only be mentioned in your blog...again...but to actually have a photograph in it as well! I feel like less of a loser now.

    Thank you Karen.
