Not Complaining

Everyone has heard the phrase "when it rains it pours" right? Well today that literally happened (yes, I am using that word the correct way, I recently read a article about the words people use that make them sound stupid when they don't use them correctly)

Recently, Tyler and I have had a number of things of ours break:
  • his watch
  • the microwave
  • he dented his laptop
  • the sound system we ordered came broken, so we had to send it back
  • our car
  • and I believe there was something else I can't remember right now

On Monday I came down with the stomach flu which was absolutely awful so I guess you could consider that my body breaking. Yesterday, the engine light turned on in our car and we figured there is something wrong with the temperature  gauge. Then last night it wouldn't start. Thankfully I had already gotten home from work. So we planning on just going to work/school together on his motorcycle. Well then Tyler broke...he got what I had and was very sick all night. Then this morning it rained. So even if Tyler wasn't sick he couldn't have taken me to work on the motorcycle in the rain.

So as my post title says: Not complaining. I am here to say I am very grateful for:
  • his watching lasting almost 4 years ( I gave it to him our first Christmas together)
  • home warranty that paid for most of a new microwave
  • that his computer didn't break when he dropped it 
  • that we have received good customer service and they will be sending us a new one
  • and that I have an understanding job that pays me sick leave and that Tyler picked a good day to be away from school because he has had a quiz/test or two almost every single day but today.
  • I am grateful that I was home when the car decided not to work and that I have a very skilled hard working husband that likes to work on cars.
  • oh and of course I am grateful for the rain :)
