Monday, Monday

Good Morning!  It’s Monday and the start of a new week.  I’m deciding to be cheery and optimistic about this day and the beginning of this week.  Today I have 2 repairmen coming to the house.  One for my washing machine and one for the washing machine that housing brought in.  ~chuckling and shaking my head~.  Sometimes you just have to let it go!  When housing brought the machine in, I immediately loaded it up and got started.  Everything seemed fine and it ran the whole cycle.  But everything was still wet after it spun.  So, I spun it out again…..and again.  Nope!  Everything was still wet.  I had a bright idea!  My machine was on the back patio and pumping is it’s problem, not spinning.  So we plugged it in on the back patio and I drug the wet stuff, in a bucket, to my machine, loaded it up and spun it out, put it back into the bucket and brought it to the laundry room and put it in the dryer.  It wasn’t a perfect system, but it was getting the job done.  After 4 loads like this, my washer decided it was being used and quit spinning.  So, we are facing Monday morning unsure if we have clean uniforms or underwear and there’s nothing I can do about it.  BUT, I insist on having a cheery attitude, because after-all, I DO have repairmen coming for each of the machines AND we are safe and warm in our home AND I have plenty of food to pack the kids’ lunches AND my gas tank is full and my car is running perfectly AND my in-laws are visiting after we haven’t seen them in 2 years AND on Thursday I get to take a trip to Washington St. to visit my dear friend, Pilar AND I even got new jeans and new shoes for the occasion.  So, it’s time to squash frustration with looking at my blessings and to move forward, into this week with a good and positive attitude.  

Are you with me?  Let’s go!

Have a great day!
