Good News, Bad News

I'm having a hard time staying positive right now.  I'm feeling a little overwhelmed, and it's my own fault.  I need to step back and relax, but that's so much easier said than done.

In an effort to try to gain a better perspective on things, I feel the need to do a good news/bad news post.  Kick back and enjoy!

Bad News:  I've totally blown it when it comes to blogging lately.

Good News:  I still have people that visit my blog and read my drivel.  I'm so thankful for that.

______________________________________________________

Bad News:  I'm behind on posting reviews and giveaways on my other blog.

Good News:  I just posted a giveaway on Manicure Mommas.  I'll have another giveaway up on my review blog by Friday.

Good News: To follow up K's coloring on the tile by the front door as seen here, WD-40 got it up quickly (thanks Tara for the suggestion and the link!).

Bad News:  My entryway now smells like a car parts place.

Good News:  I'd rather that smell than the coloring, any day.

Bad News:  Mr. Frog's car blew up.  He said it made a growling noise and then just died.

Good News:  At least it's paid off.  We don't have to worry about making payments for a car that won't run.

Bad News:  There are only 37 days until Christmas.

Good News:  There are only 19 days until my birthday!

______________________________________________________

Bad News:  I'm a fan of one of the worst teams in the NFL

Good News:  They did a pretty good job of holding their own Sunday against an undefeated team.  I'll take what I can get.

______________________________________________________

Bad News:  I haven't had the time to really clean my house in the way I need to in months.

Good News:  I live in a home that has heat, electricity, and people who love me.

______________________________________________________

Bad News:  K needs more clothing for Winter.  M skipped the size that K is now, so I don't have much to hand down to her.

Good News:  My children are healthy and growing.  They have food in front of them, and love in their hearts.  She'll get more clothes for Christmas.

_______________________________________________________

Bad News:  I'm freaking out about family coming into town for Christmas.  I've got cleaning, decorating, cooking, baking, planning, and so much more to do.

Good News:  I've got family who are able and willing to visit for the holidays.

I have a better perspective now.  Thanks for listening!

I'm glad the WD worked!

Maybe I need to do a good/bad news post too. I'm in need of a little attitude adjustment.

[Brandi]

Sending you some positive vibes. I've been feeling a bit the same way lately. I hope for all the best for you.
Stopped over from SITS.

Stopping by from SITS...
Great post. Love the idea. Way to pull yourself out of a funk. I'm going to try this in the future.

[Jeanine]

Stopping by from SITS...and I stopped worrying about the kids were doing to my house a long time ago. Between the kids and the pets I was going crazy and making everyone miserable. Now, I just let it go, fix what I can, and make them clean. Of course I have teenagers and preteens! My house isn't a show house, I figure I'll do that when they move out! Haha! Hang in there!!!

I, too, am a fan of one of the worst teams in the NFL. Do tell, which is yours?

*sigh* Cleveland Browns over here.

Sorry you're having a rough time. It's always nice when you can balance the bad out with the good.

I like how you couple something good with the bad. Yeah, it's always something...so you may as well stick with the good side of things! :-)

[Quincifer]

Its amazing how much better you can feel when you write down your positives and negatives, I hope it has made you feel more balanced :)

Popped over from SITS.

Good news, bad news...it is all not that bad when you see all the things that you have. We are so lucky to be so fortunate.

[Karen Zemek]

I'm curious, what is your NFL team? Wish we had someone come for holidays--I miss large family gatherings.

Visiting from SITS. Happy Thanksgiving!

Found you from SITS and LOVE your fun spirit. Adding to my home page. (I am very picky)

And I shall adopt your good news/bad news perspective.

I have five kids------there are lots of ups and downs---to say the very very least!

Have a fun day.
