Has anyone ever noticed how many ups and downs life brings? Even though some of these are minor, I didn't know how fast the ups and downs could occur! For example:
Last night:
Down: Found out mom has to have eye surgery. I don't think surgery could get more disgusting than that, although I'm probably wrong since they just use a laser.
Up: Found out that she has to wear an eye patch. That's pretty hilarious.
Down: Relief Society activity planning is stressful and tiring, especially when your husband is your only active committee member.
Up: The missionaries were at the building last night and helped us set up all the tables and chairs for the activity.
This morning:
Down: It was raining and windy today. I hate them both.
Up: I have cute rain boots and a raincoat.
Down: Rude patients on the elevator meanly told me I shouldn't care what I look like (says the woman in a mumu and slippers [slippers!] and a bald homeless-looking man).
Up: Bart was able to schedule his thesis committee meeting with relative ease and careful follow-up. HOORAY!
All in all, I think the ups outweigh the downs. Perhaps a better way to phrase it would be the blessings outweigh the challenges.

Katie- I want to see a picture of your mom in said eye patch. (Good luck with surgery, Diane). I also want to see a picture of your boots and raincoat. If it makes you feel better it is also windy and rainy in Utah today.
I want cute boots and a raincoat! :) And screw the ugly couple in the elevator. Looks TOTALLY matter! ;)
Good job on getting the meeting Bart!
I like my raincoat too. It's waiting for me to be able to wear it. There's still snow, but it's starting to shrink down a little. (or maybe just wishful thinking)
Too late, Mindy. The patch is off. I did spend the evening saying "Arrrg" every few minutes.
Katie, you are so right about the ups and downs of life. We just have to remember that the down periods are followed by an up period.
