This morning things didn't seem to be going well. I forgot my purse when I was on my way to pick up a certified letter from the post office (which was a complete waste of time because the letter was irrelevant), and I called the doctor about my daughter's eye glasses (which had broken when she fell on the muddy ground and felt they should not have broken in those circumstances) but was told they would most likely not be covered under warranty. I thought this day was going to be a frustrating day that I don't accomplish anything and my kids won't get any school work done.
However, things turned around. The eye doctor said that since it had broken in a seam/joint, they would cover it under warranty. Plus, while I was there I asked for a copy of her prescription so I could maybe order a spare. My kids said something about running by the bread store and getting "feed bags" which are a really cheap source of feed for donkeys and chickens while hay is at an all time high price. I never get there when they have feed bags. The workers randomly pull things off the shelf and put it all in a garbage bag for a couple of dollars. They never know when it will be and someone always beats me to them if I do get there close to the right time. Once I showed up as this man bought his tenth bag and stashed it in the back of his truck! Lo, and behold, there were two feed bags there waiting for us. The kids ran to it and dragged it to the front of the store before I had hardly walked in the door. My kids did actually get their work down and rather quickly. Also, I scored a free coupon for pop corn (Disney Movie Rewards) and a free package of Windex Wipes. https://www.rightathome.com/Offers/Pages/2012-01-windex-gp.aspx. The day isn't over yet but it's actually turned out to be a pretty good day.
I guess it goes to show, don't count your day a loss until God has a chance to intervene.
