My Dad & The Snickers Bar

It’s the little things that can really just screw up a day. It starts with the kids or husband not listening and ends with something broken or damaged in this scenario.

On our first trip to Disney, my husband bought me a glass which had Grumpy on the front and my name engraved on the back. I’m a *huge* Grumpy fan and I loved this glass. Today it broke, just now in fact. It was in the dishwasher and well, I wasn’t the one to use it. I’ve repeatedly asked the kids to NOT use that ONE glass.

Is that really too much to ask?

Funny enough my son bought me a Jiminy Cricket mug on one of his trips to Disney. Again one of my favorites and it has a big chip on the front of it.

As for bigger things — I love my dining room table. I asked my daughter repeatedly not to do her nails at that table. Now there are three spots on the wood where the acetone from her nail polish remover damaged the wood.

God grant me the serenity to accept the people I cannot change, the courage to change the one I can, and the wisdom to know it’s me. –Author unknown

GoodBYE 2009

I know it can always be worse but on the flip side it can always be better too. This year sucked for a few reasons and I am happy to see it go. I’m looking forward to a fresh start, new goals and accomplishments. 2010 is going to be a good year.

My end of the year to-do list is eight miles long but somehow, some way it will get done.
