Had a bad day

I'm not complaining, it still beats any day suffering from kidney stones, but I'm amazed so much could happen in one day. I had to go to an inservice at work today so I was going to pick Naomi up at school so I could get there on time, but when I got there I realized I'd forgotten to call the school and Naomi had already gotten on the bus. I went back home and fortunately my dad was able to take my kids and wait for Naomi. I had some errands to run too, but I put them off until after the meeting. As I drove towards town, something got in my eye making it difficult to see. As I tried to fix my eye I passed a cop. Apparently I hadn't been watching my speed too well as I was fixing my eye. Fortunatly he just gave me a warning. The inservice at work only lasted 20 minutes, meaning not long enough to pay for the gas to get into town and back. I went to the gymnastic building afterwards to pay my bill. The sign said open, so I hopped out of the van, leaving it running, grabbed my unlock button and locked the door. The gym was closed. I went back to the van, but what I thought was my unlock button was only the clip-on keychain; the button had fallen off. I looked longingly at my cell phone in the front seat. I then ran to the gas station (wearing high heeled boots) to use the pay phone. I called my husband, but he didn't have a spare key with him, so he had to come get me. I then had to drive home for the key, back to town to the gym to get my van, then back to Andy's work to wait for him to get off, then back to the gym to get his car. Andy then went into town to do some shopping while I went home to get dinner started and wait for the kids. After getting groceries, Andy called me on the way home. I had to load up the kids in the truck and come get him. His car broke down. After towing the car back home I sat to reflect on my day. I got to drive all of our vehicles in one day. I was thankful we were all home safe. Andy was never stranded alone thanks to the abundance of friendly country folk stopping to see if he was okay. My parents kept good watch over my kids for the first half of my troubles. I didn't get a speeding ticket to add to the expense. None of my vehicles ran out of gas. I had food on my table when I got home (only needed re-heating). Most importantly, I wasn't in any pain. Seems even a bad day can turn into a good one for reflecting on all the good things in life to be grateful for.
