You take them both and there you have…a day like today.

Wake up to a rainy, drizzly, dreary day. Bad.

Have daughter refuse, for the second time in two weeks, to let the pediatric dentist go anywhere near her teeth. Bad.

While driving down a narrow road in minivan, swipe the side of a curb so hard that it actually shreds up your tire…thus repeating a similiar incident that occurred just 3 months ago. Bad.

Cancel plans to swim laps with friends as part of mini-triathalon training in order to rush the car (with kids in tow) to Sears AutoCenter at 5pm before husband leaves town for a business trip the next day adding another level of difficulty to the logistics of getting a car fixed. Bad.

Discover that the chicken and fruit salad at the mall food court Chick-Fil-A across the street is actually pretty darn good. Good.

Pay for new tire and alignment adjustment. Bad.

Contemplate having either a large glass of wine or large coffee when arriving home. Make the decision to consumer neither. Good.

Sit at the computer being productive after the kids go to bed only to have your husband come into your office holding a pair of men’s boxers that he’s found while putting away his laundry saying, “Uh…whose are these?” Bad.

Call your mother and father in Texas and have them confirm that yes, indeed, our laundry did get mixed up while at their house a couple of weeks ago and the boxers are in fact, my dad’s, and do not belong to my secret-Izod-underpants-wearin’ boyfriend. Good.

Realize that the sun will probably come out tomorrow. Very good.
