How the good cancels out the bad

I know that we all have those days where we just throw our hands in the air and think.......can anything else go wrong today? Most of the time it's nothing serious. It's just the little things that go wrong and build up to make 2 VERY UNLUCKY human beings (Britt and myself). About 2 weeks ago Britt bought a new truck. Well, it was used, but new to us. We were driving home from church last Sunday and guess what.......the darn thing dies on us at a stoplight right by our house! We both looked at each other with that 'why do things like this always happen to us?' look. We called a friend to pick us up and take us home. Come to find out the alternator had gone out. That was a small problem to fix compared to the other 15 problems that this P.O.S. truck had been taken to the Ford dealership for prior to us purchasing it. LOL! And no we didn't know about all of the problems that the owner had out of it or we would have NEVER purchased it! The carfax report came back clean, but since it was still under warranty Ford had what seemed to be an endless list of problems that it had been brought in for over the past 2 years. Britt called the car dealership where he purchased the truck and the salesman told him that if he wasn't happy with the truck to bring it back in for a full refund. Well not only did he refund Britt the full amount, but he also reimbursed him for the new alternator that he had put in. We were both floored when we heard the news! I mean what car salesman in today's day and time would refund someone for a car after it's been driven off of the lot? Not very many! Britt had already sold his other truck to his dad, so he's without a car at the moment. It's not that big of a deal though because he can drive any of his dad's vehicles whenever he needs one without even having to ask. Hopefully we'll find something soon!

I'm at that stage in pregnancy where you're just plain uncomfortable. I really can't do any heavy cleaning anymore which leaves me in a fowl mood when I come home, because you all know how much of a neat freak I am about my house being picked up and cleaned. I finally talked Britt into having someone come to clean our house every other week. EJ Cornelius' mom cleans houses now, so we met with her and decided to have her come and clean for us. Yesterday was the first day and she did an AWESOME JOB!!!! I came home to a spotless house and I was in the best mood! I swear.......that was the best money that I've ever spent!! It will be well worth it. I can cut back on going out to eat 1 or 2 nights to have her come clean the house.

Isn't it great to have little perks in life? One of my perks is having friends that are massage therapists. Ginger, Holly, and I are all pregnant together. We all worked at Rockbarn together. The spa at Rockbarn is holding a pregnancy massage class in March and they asked the three of us to come be bodies for the class. How cool is that? So I get a free mother-to-be massage! YAY!!! I couldn't be any happier! I just hope that I don't get too hot during this massage. When Kellie and I went a couple of weeks ago I got way too hot on the massage table and had to stop and have her go get me some water. I honestly thought that I was going to pass out! Thank goodness I had Kimberly as my therapist and she was very understanding. I think that I scared her more than I scared myself. =)

Tomorrow I go back to the doctor for another sonogram. I can't wait to see my little man again! I'll post a pregnancy update tomorrow. TTFN!
