Marsha Rozalski / My Life ~ My Blog

Took the boys to school this morning and the heat never worked.  We froze all the way there!  I have no idea why my poor truck is all of a sudden just falling to pieces!  On the way home, the fuel light came on even though I had a quarter of a tank left, I got gas and filled it up but the light never came off, odd.  Pulled into the driveway and the back end on the drivers side is hissing and leaking some kind of fluid all over the place!!  I have no idea what it is, it’s not gas, could be break fluid?  I have no clue.  Right now, we have no money to buy or fix anything.  This sucks!

Yesterday, both boys pinned their guys in the wrestling match.  They were both very excited about that.  They are going to a tournament this Saturday, but we are going to have to find another vehicle for them to take, I think mine is about dead.

I am helping my friend, Elizabeth, get a parent time tracker software going with Excel.  LOL!!  We both really don’t know a thing about it!  She is learning some and I will try also and we’ll see if we can’t get a really good one.  She wants to sell them, and if we can make one how she wants it, she should do really well with it!

Not much else going on, thought I think with my truck that’s a good thing!

You know, I’m sitting here watching CNN and my problems really are NOTHING compared to the devastation I am watching on TV.  We have 3 other vehicles that run, sure they are big and hold 2 people, BUT we aren’t totally stranded, just inconvenienced.  Sure, we don’t have money right now, but that’s what it’s like in the winter for us, it’s not that we will NEVER have money again.  We are living on land that is totally PAID for!  We owe NOTHING for the place were we are living.  We have heat, we have food, we can get medical care, our kids are healthy, they get A’s and B’s in school, they don’t drink, smoke or do drugs.  They are great kids, I have a husband that doesn’t drink, smoke, do drugs, who works hard so I don’t have too.  I have NOTHING to complain about and it would be best if I remembered that more often.

In April 25, 1989 I was in Mexico City on a field trip with my school.  On the last day there around 8am we got hit with a 6.9 earthquake.  The buildings were bending and swaying and people were running all over the place screaming.  The horror I saw on their faces and in there eyes will stay with me for life.  No lives were lost and no buildings came down BUT if they hadn’t gotten slammed in 85′  (where their whole city just about collapsed) and rebuilt the city to withstand something like that, I would not be here today and neither would the rest of us that went on that trip.

I really do have a lot to be thankful for, way more than most people here on Earth.  So, when you think life sucks and that nothing is ever going to go your way,  I bet you can find thousands that are worse off than you.  You would be surprised at how much you really DO have and how much your life really DOESN’T suck!

Like they say, “If you don’t like how something looks, change the way you look at it.”
