Have you ever had one of those days where everything fell together perfectly? They don't come along very often (at least for me!) , so when it does happen, I take notice!
Yesterday was the first day in 8 school days that I didn't get a phone call regarding Spencer. He was taking drastic measures to make the teachers believe he was sick so he could go home. He threw up several times a day on his clothes, even resorting to wetting his pants, smiling, and pointing to the clinic. Autism or not, this isn't the type of phone call I relish getting from the school! So, I was very pleased to hear from the teacher that he had a completely normal day!
Our vacuum died this week. Fortunately, that anonymous gift someone gave us last month came in handy for ordering a new one! Before I left to run some errands, the UPS man left it on the front porch! Yea!
While I was out and about, I wanted to find a loveseat. Preferably black faux leather, for the boys' computer room that I've been redecorating. (No more fabric furniture for this family of crazy boys!) I thought I would check Big Lots first. I walked in and found exactly what I wanted within a minute or two, paid for it and had it loaded in my van in no time at all. Not only was it an excellent price, but they gave me a discount for taking the floor model. Yea!
As I went to the next three destinations, I was amused to find a perfect parking spot at every stop! I also walked straight up to each cashier without any waiting in line! By the time I was on my way home, driving in beautifully warm autumn weather, I found myself humming that wonderful song from "Oklahoma"...you know the one!
Do you think it may have something to do with that gravitational pull? I mean, afterall, I can get brooms to stand on end and defy gravity! Maybe my lucky stars were perfectly in line today! I'm sure tomorrow I'll be back to reality! LOL!
You are very deserving of many beautiful days! Are we going to get to see the finished room once you've finished redecorating? :)
ReplyDeleteBPG ~ yes, I'll do a formal before and after post when I'm all finished. I can't believe the broom didn't work...maybe it is the height..although a few others had trouble, too.
ReplyDeleteOh it really does sound like the perfect day. What a blessing. Just makes you realize the Lord is smiling down on you. Hope the rest of your week is as great. Hugs, Marty
ReplyDeleteSuch days are refreshing... so glad you had one! May you have many, many more.
ReplyDeleteI love a perfect day! All two of them that I have ever had! haha!
ReplyDeleteI lost the TV and the water heater this weekend.
ReplyDeleteSomehow it's not so bad.
I love reading about someone's life that sounds like mine.
Carolyn ~ usually things around here break in threes. We're just waiting for number 2 and 3 now! LOL!
ReplyDeleteWhen everything goes my way, I'm inclined to buy a lottery ticket!
ReplyDeleteSo wonderful that you had such a great day. I hope tmro is just as good :)
ReplyDeletethat is awesome! so glad you had such a great day! well deserved...keep singing! smiles.
ReplyDeleteYou WERE right about the icing on the cake. You need to add a little addendum or something! :)
ReplyDeleteKathy G ~ well, I just went over to another blog and found out I won a Target gift card! I'm almost sorry the day is almost over! ha!
ReplyDeleteAaaaahhh, Betsy...so good to come back and find things going well! ALL good stuff! As for the broom thing...I must try that before the "pull" wears out!
ReplyDeleteI'm still laughing about the broom at Sam's Club!
ReplyDeleteChristine ~ well, I'm still laughing at the cake mix! ha!
ReplyDeleteJill ~ surprise your kids in the morning with a broom standing in the kitchen! I'd love to see their faces!
ReplyDeleteOh Betsy, I am so happy for you. You needed a distration-less day with everything going smoothly. Glad you lived in the moment and relished it. How wonderful. Keep "pulling" through. :)
ReplyDeleteA perfect post (song) to start my Tuesday morning!;)
ReplyDeleteI know exactly those days you mention, sometimes it is as if pre-destined and everything goes right. I had one of those about a month ago. I guess I am due a new one.;)

Perfect day of blessings for you! Sigh... Great post, makes me smile for you!
ReplyDeleteI'm so happy you found a perfect day to enjoy! We all need those days every now and again. I'm glad it was your turn.
ReplyDeleteSounds like you got a day that all fell together and it was something that well over due. I love hearing about lovely days like this. I pray you have many, many more in your future.
ReplyDeleteI am so happy for you, having a Beautiful "Oklahoma" day.
ReplyDeleteI made your roll recipe for hubby's work dinner today, and got many compliments on them, thank you for sharing it.
And I stopped at Big Lots to look at their furniture - I also need a small love seat/clack bed for a guest room. They had several I like and I just have to decide which one.
Rhonda ~ I bet you saw the one I picked at Big Lots. It's a click clack..black 'leather' with white top stitching. Maybe you'll get lucky and they will only have the floor model available! :)
ReplyDeleteLove those "everything's going my way" days!
ReplyDeleteGlad you are having (or had) a great day....I sing that so many mornings....great way to start the day!
ReplyDeleteNo, honey, it's pure blessings! And autistic or not, that Spencer is obviously pretty smart! I am glad he's given up the scheme.
ReplyDeleteIt's good to have a good day!
