This was not a good week (I feel like Alexander and the Terrible, No Good, Horrible day, or whatever the name of that kid’s book is!). My car broke down and, of course, I didn’t have any money to get it fixed. I didn’t get to see my friends as much as I wanted. My youngest (who is nearly 16 and just won’t listen to me) had to have the first of a series of dental visits because he won’t floss or brush often enough! I was bored and lonely all week. I have no dates and no prospects. My oldest son fell off his bike. Etc….
But, my friend Mario fixed my car today (I paid for parts, gas, and gave him a couple of great margaritas), I got some of the back pay owed to me by my sometimes boss. My son hugged me and showed me his great school work. I found yet another great bottle of wine and shared it with friends. My dog still loves me.
What more could I ask?

How many of us are single, lonely, unemployed and wondering what happened to the American Dream?
For what its worth, my two little dogs, music and a few beer and maybe one or two friends is what keeps me going, so I can definitely relate.
