The morning started bright and early.. I set my alarm for 5:30a so I could enjoy one cup of coffee and spend some time with God...
My alarm went off. I hit snooze.
My alarm went off and I heard, "MOMMYYYY I'm awake, let's make some coffee."
I smile and think so much for getting up early. (Like I was gonna get up early anyways ha!)
And the I need this I want that, Can we do this, Lets go here begins...
My little Mackenzie didn't wake up til 7:30a so this was a great morning. Riley got her mommy attention and I got to focus on one...
I made some great progress at work today...
At the office went fine except for the as soon as I put Mackenzie in the sling she pukes everywhere...
So I head over to the Habitat Center for work. I go to change Kenzies diaper in the car. I lock my keys in there...
So thankful Pj our construction manager let me use his truck to go home and get my spare. So that wasn't so bad. While he watched Mackenzie another blessing!
Then I head over to Tops to get cash for babysitter for Riley. I put my water bottle on the hood of my car you know where your wipers are...
Never took it off.
I go to Tops..
I already had to use my raincheck from last week for my Kashi Cereal. Then I realize the girl didn't write that you get an instant $5 off. So she had to spend 10 mins verifying that....
Then I get a phone call from a volunteer... So Im all in the conversation. I remember to get cash back.... But I just don't remember to grab the cash.
50 bucks left sitting in the self check out dish thing.
I go home to grab something that (right now my mind is crazy I have no idea) and then I remember..
THE CASH... I drive back to Tops ask the cashier at u scan.
She says "oh that was your cash? yeah a guy grabbed it." She said hang on. I felt sooo relieved someone gave it back..

Then she says to me I have to call themanager. I ask her why what is the situation?
She said the guy after me came up and she thought it was his cash so she said, "Sir your cash." He grabbed it and walked out.
So my great deal of Kashi cereal being a buck... not so much!
Thank God my husband is picking up his truck today.... That will lighten the mood!
So two things I am reminding myself today about this.
1. I could have locked Mackenzie in the car. I did not. A Win!
2. The man who grabbed my cash may have just needed it more than me. Maybe he needs it for a bill or has kids... :)
3. I am so thankful for my husband who works so hard that I was able to take out another $50 and this didn't ruin our whole budget...
4. Things could have been much much worse
But.....
We do still have to drive out to Bergen to pick up his truck... There is much more to this day!
And in it I am reminded that life happens. Even when you are a christian and trust in God. Believing in him doesn't shield you from our world, the choices and actions of others... But it's in these times that he can give us the feelings of peace, comfort and knowing he is with us.
No worries. That is what I love most about knowing God. He will take care of us.
