It’s all good…

It’s all good…

Colorful, abstract drawing with eyes and swirls, featuring the text "it's all good".

Even though my car got totaled this week….

A silver car with a dented rear bumper and broken taillight, displaying a "Support Our Troops" bumper sticker.

Yes, that’s totaled.  Even though it doesn’t look like that much damage, apparently the cost to fix it is more than the car is worth.  The other person did not have insurance.. or even registration for the car… or matching license plates…

Monday I stayed home from school because our daycare provider called in sick.

While I was at home with my daughter on Monday, 5 firetrucks zoomed down the street and a house a few doors down and across the street apparently had a small explosion in their basement and started the house on fire.  I couldn’t even tell what house they were going to, but when they busted open the front door, smoke came pouring out like crazy.  Apparently that was $50,000 in damage to the house.  So, when I feel sorry for myself about my car and my problems, I need to remember that things could be worse.

Fire trucks and firefighters are outside a residential house on a good, sunny day. Trees line the street.

It’s been a crazy week, but that’s ok. Things will work out right?

Oh happy day" written in decorative black and white patterned letters on a plain background, exuding an all good vibe.

    OH sorry about your car. Yes things could always be worse. It's the pits when one has to dish out money because someone else isn't taking care of business as they should. Take care and sending good vibes.

    Now I feel guilty for complaining about blogger! Totaled cars and house fires are much worse than blogger woes. Good luck!

  4. Marcia says:

    Thanks for your encouragement! It was a rough week!

    Geez Marcia, did you have uninsured motorist insurance? I sure hope so as that will help you buy a new car! Here's looking forward to a safe and happy weekend:)

I'd love to hear your thoughts!
