It's a disaster!

"It's a disaster" is one of my mother's quotes!  It is said when something goes wrong that is not a disaster, but just seems so at the time.  I came onto my blog today and realised that when I add a 'label' to my older posts, the system acts as if they are new posts and consequently they are then out of order!  That's very annoying for someone like me who is slightly annal retentive.

Our other disaster today is that Ian and I were going to go to the movies.  But Rachel has a maths assignment due and she needs to be watched over, plus the girls wouldn't have gone to bed if we weren't here.  (I don't know why the second issue didn't occur to us before we decided to go!)  So I had totally psyched myself up for the movies and it was for nothing.  I came home quite late for work, used the machine that is changing my life straight after dinner, had a shower and got dressed in 'movie' clothes.  All for nothing!  Oh, and I didn't mention that the movie was going to be free, as the girls had two free tickets to be used before 1 March 2012.  So now they are useless!  See, this is all very annoying... it's a disaster!!

It isn't really.  Whilst the girls are terrible at getting to bed - and then terrible at getting up; whilst we've forfeited two movie tickets; and whilst I exercised at a time that wasn't ideal - I'm grateful that I have three healthy, energetic kids; I don't need to worry so much with finances that a $20 decision is going to hurt; and I am able to exercise regularly.  Life is pretty good - no disasters...
