Luckiness

So I have to laugh because the luck of the Irish is with me, as always. I am not Irish, so really not a thing! But here is the story. My washer went out this fall. Before buying a new one, we found out that the drains under the house needed replacing. So $2000 later, we did just that. Today we had a new washer delivered. We were like kids at Christmas. It meant that I no longer had to carry large tubs to the laundry-mat and that I could return to doing the deed at my leisure. With my work schedule, this is a huge deal. So we fired up the washer and watched it like a television. Lo and behold, our new $2000 pipes still don't drain. More plumbing work still needed. Can't wait to get the bill on this one. All you can do is laugh and handle the irritating events of our lives one at a time.There are so many other things in life that matter way more than this. On Sunday, we are celebrating my youngest son's earning of Eagle Scout. I have two son's that are now Eagles. i have a daughter with a 3.9 average, sings like an angel and can dance like people on Broadway. But the most important thing is that they are all sweet and kind human beings that make me proud. This is not a bragging post but an effort at reminding people to count blessings when the shit hits the fan. There is calming found in the good things of life.
