OMG- I think that I might have found some luck!
I am so not the lucky type. Who else would go on a vacation to Vegas and have it rain for ALL FIVE days. I managed to convince my sister that I did not bring along all of my bad luck since we weren't one of the people who had their rental cars get totally engulfed in water when the entire first level of the parking deck flooded. We also weren't one of the people who couldn't get their cars out of any other level of the deck since the entire first level was under water. Of course, it was because we didn't rent a car; but I did need to find a silver lining in the rain cloud which apparently seems to always be following me.
Anyway, that entirely too long story, was to point out how happy I am that I finally found some luck yesterday for the Mutt stocking on HC. I entered each and every lottery (as I have done in the past with both GM and Mutt), and when I checked back I had actually won the apple print FS. I was really hoping for the Tinkerbell, since I am a Disney fanatic, but I am so thrilled that I actally won something! I didn't even know about the stocking, I just happened to just stumble into it.
In equally good news, I also managed to get excellent sales in Gymboree yesterday. Oh, happy shopping week for me. Since, I have had a credit to my credit card for 3 months now, I decided to spend it yesterday at Gymboree. So with my 20% coupon, my Gymbucks, and the credit to my card, I managed to get 7 complete outfits (including hats, socks, and tights) for only $40. I even snagged some of the clothes that were not already on sale, which I never do. That trip was such therapy to me!!! I even got to shop ALONE since Nan and Pop offered to watch the 3 little ones, and Zach was in school. I can't wait for the warmer weather so I can start putting on the adorable clothes.
Then today to top it off, Just Ducky stocked some new AIO OS. I was ready to place an order then decided to e-mail customer service for a question on soakers. When I returned, they were sold out. But lucky me (?) received an e-mail this evening saying that she had set aside 2 for me to replace the 2 I had gotten awhile back that had incorrect snaps. I can't believe the luck that I have been having. This never happens to me. It all makes up for the SOS cart crashing on me right when I had to leave to pick up the boys from school. I had 2 in my cart and then it froze. I tried as long as I could, and then had to leave. Since the kids were seeing the school talent show today, they got out 20 minutes later than usual, and I just missed the site getting back up by minutes (that is a little more like my luck).
On a more productive note, I think that all of this good luck has given me some extra energy. I managed to dust all of the ceiling fans, cook a home-made pot of spaghetti sauce, vaccuum, wash the tub, do 4 loads of laundry, and I did it all while holding Kennedy who still thinks the world is so much better in Mom's arms. Just to make my day even more complete, Dustin has been expressing his love for me all day verbally and with random hugs, and Madison decided to tell me that she loved me because, "Mommy, I can always count on you." I am just swimming in happiness today!!!! (I think children have totally changed my definition of true happiness. I now get excited over diapers, kids clothes, and maintaining a house with a child in tow).
Please luck DO NOT DISAPPEAR!!!!!
