The good, the bad, the ugly & the unthinkable

The past few days have been a mixed bag of events.


The good:

1. I got a cute new haircut. Well, right now it doesn't look so cute, so I'm not going to put up a pic right now. But I do like it. It's not super short, but short enough.
2. Today Mike and I told Robbie that he will be repeating kindergarten. It went surprisingly well. I'm not sure he understood 100%, but we'll reinforce the idea over the next 6 weeks.

The bad:

1. We rented "He's Not that into You" tonight and the darn thing stopped about 45 minutes before the end. Frustrating.
2. I still haven't gotten my bedroom cleaned, though it's been on my "to do" list all week.

The ugly:

1. The dishwasher is broken -- and no longer under warranty.
2. The freezer is leaking water (a fair amount of it) into the refrigerator.
3. The bank socked me with $105 in overdraft fees, even though I made a deposit on the same day they had me overdrafted. "Debits come out first, ma'am." Freakin' bankers. If I ran the bank, what would matter would be the balance at the close of business.
4. #3 makes repairing #s 1 &2 a bit difficult.
   

The unthinkable:
A woman that I didn't know, but who was also a member on a local moms' online community, passed away on Thursday. She had been diagnosed with breast cancer less than a month ago. You can see her story here. Please keep Michelle Graddy, her husband and their four children (ages 10-2) in your prayers. Her story makes my "good" seem even better and my "bad" and "ugly" mildly inconvenient in comparison.
