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 :)

  1. Positive thinking will literally prolong your life. I might have made that fact up right this moment, but I see no reason why it couldn't be true. We love you guys!

  3. So sorry that you guys have been sick! We had a bit of rain today too and hope for more tomorrow. Well, you know how many of our things have broken in the last month! I know how you're feeling, except to say that I probably have not been as positive as you are! Good job! I like what Jason and Andrea said about positive thinking prolonging your life. Miss you guys and love you!

  4. Thanks guys for the nice comments. I remembered what the other thing was that broke, our printer. But I think the reason I couldn't remember when writing this post on being grateful is because I have absolutely nothing positive to say about our stupid printer breaking. :)
