Earlier today I had plans on writing a nice blog, outlining all the details of my newest organizing tool…
But then a real life situation came up, real fast!
I was out running errands and I took my husband his phone charger. And as he came out to get it, his boss came out too…he asked me about some of the notecards that I keep on my dash and I showed them to him proudly, telling him how they remind me to stay positive throughout my day.
Afterwards I went to the store, came out and my car wouldn’t start. This had happened quite a few times before and he went two weeks ago and got the starter fixed.
I waited. And waited. And waited…
Forty-five minutes later with four kids who were hungry, thirsty, hot and one even had a diaper full of poop…I was still in the parking lot with a car that wouldn’t start.
So I finally texted my husband to no avail bc he was in the middle of a training session at work. I told him that I was contemplating just taking the stroller out the back and walking back to our house. I was only a good 5-7 minutes by car but with 4 kids, a stroller and heat-it would have taken us at the very least 30 minutes to get home.
My husband texted me back and told me not to get upset, to be patient and that my car would start soon.
I started to text him back to tell him that that was easy for him to say because his car always started without hesitation,that I was frustrated, hot and stuck in a stinking car with four restless children…
Then I erased the text and realized that I had to make the decision to not become irrational and that I had a choice in how to properly handle this situation.
So I deleted the text…and at exactly an hour wait time my car started!
So the moral is…that we all have a choice in how we handle everyday situations.
The very things that I said that I believed were tested and thankfully I passed the test!!! 😊👍🚗💨💨
