Fortunately, Unfortunately
Have you read the children's book "Fortunately, Unfortunately"? I LOVED that book growing up. (*edit*- the title is actually "Fortunately" by Remy Charlip).
Today is the Ides of March- and we are having an "interesting" day.
Unfortunately- we were late getting around, and it looked as if Verity was going to get a tardy.
Fortunately- the car broke down
Unfortunately- the car broke down (transmission kaputen I think)
Fortunately- the car has some warranty on it
Unfortunately- we were on foot
Fortunately- we were just blocks from home
Unfortunately- Tom and his dad, who is visiting us this week- couldn't take us to school because they were on their way to chemo treatment
Fortunately- Candace was home this morning, so we used her car
Unfortunately- I needed a ride to work
Fortunately- Candace would be able to take me
Unfortunately- (for Tom) he left his wallet at home
Fortunately- when he came back to the house, I was able to talk to him about making arrangements for the van
Unfortunately- I need a ride back from work (out of town)
Fortunately- my boss will bring me back
And absolutely fortunately- looks as if we will have a new little Tutterow today- we are waiting word.
Okay- now I had better get back to getting stuff done this a.m.

I feel very fortunate that I could read about your morning!
That was a very 'back-and-forth' kind of feeling I got the whole time I was reading that. I'm glad everything worked out. I'm sorry that the van is having problems though.
Sounds like a good morning to just stay in bed................
I just read that book for the first time the other day here at the Stanley's - it was hilarious.
Your day doesn'tsound so hilarious though. :-/ Hope it goes better for you. I also hope Tom's treatments are going well.
I'm glad that you got to end this post with a fortunate. And what good news about another upcoming little one.
that's a nice slice of life there - fortunately, we are married
@SpringsTruth - Tiffany and Brandon Tutterow welcomed their new daughter Olivia Larynn this morning- I think 8 pounds, 9 ounces. Very fortunately we have a healthy baby and mama.
I've never read that book before, so naturally, I just ordered it from the library. I'm excited! Thanks for the story of your morning, your good attitude and a new book tip!
Fortunately, I have a great Mom! This post was full of tension... didn't know how it was going to end up! It was a pleasure driving you ma'lady. Hadn't seen the grand town of Bunker Hill in awhile.... Fortunately we know someone in the car business
@MuchAdo1214 - How right you are- Stutz's swooped right into Brighton and got the car in a very short time- very thankful!
Way to make Xanga meaningful once again!
chuckling--makes me think of the old Hee Haw spoofs too, where they would say 'that's good. . .no, that's bad. . .oh, that's good. . .no, that's bad'.
