Oh, What A Beautiful Day!

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!

  1. You are very deserving of many beautiful days! Are we going to get to see the finished room once you've finished redecorating? :)

  2. BPG ~ 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.

  6. I lost the TV and the water heater this weekend.

    Somehow it's not so bad.

    I love reading about someone's life that sounds like mine.

  18. A perfect post (song) to start my Tuesday morning!;)
    I 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.;)

  21. Sounds 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.

  22. I am so happy for you, having a Beautiful "Oklahoma" day.

    I 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.

  23. 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! :)

  26. No, honey, it's pure blessings! And autistic or not, that Spencer is obviously pretty smart! I am glad he's given up the scheme.
