When Life Gives You Lemons….

…they say you make lemonade.  How do make lemonade out of THIS?

You just do, or you grin and bear the taste just so you have some sort of hydration to make it through.

My boyfriend hurt his back and was out of work for a week.  

How to deal: We skimp on things that aren't really important

My son's father announced he was having another child to my 13-year old son before telling me so I could emotionally prepare the poor kid.

Mom says I shouldn't post the above and pick my battles.  Ah, eff it.  My battle is for my son.  What is his?

My day job has turned into a nightmare.  Compare it to going to McDonald's every day and waiting an hour in the drive-thru.  Fortunately, it's because we have too many burgers and no where to put them.  It's just a matter of patience and trust in my leaders.

My lawn mower broke shortly after the back injury.

How to deal: friends

My dog got fleas.

How to deal: Swagbucks turned to Amazon dollars and money from YOU visiting my site allowed me to soak up about $115 dollars last month which provided top-notch flea control products, arriving tomorrow.

My son lost his glasses and I can't replace them until November without paying an arm and a leg (which I MUST find a way to do).

How to deal: 39dollarglasses.com – My son's scrip is still valid and my Dad has had mad success with this site.  Why pay more?

I've been so stressed out that I missed my menstrual cycle.  It finally arrived one month later, but previous history with cysts/surgical removal had me even more stressed out.

How to deal: Just decompress, let go.  It really helps.  Sleeping in does the trick (on non work days of course).

My parents announced that my family dog, Precious, age 9, has mast cell tumor cancer.  She's been given 6-12 months to live.  My brother is currently away and this was his baby.  Unfortunately, he cannot by any means make it back to see her before she is slated to pass.  I love my current dog, Zuki, but Precious holds another special place in all of our hearts.  Read more about Precious here.

How to deal: Memories.

I failed to back up my blog and lost about 1 month worth of posts.  Less significant than any of the issues I'm currently challenge with.

How to deal: Just repost.  Do it again.  

What more can I take?

I can take on anything, not because I want to but because sometimes you just have to.

Another great reason the I Like Book has come into my life.

    Sounds like you need a strong drink! I think as long as you are trying to think positively your luck will turn around!
