You win some; you lose some...

Today was a good day-- for the most part, a very good day. I got a new gig! In a week or so, I'll start working as a trainer for a company that provides systems and technology training for pharmaceutical companies. It's a flexible, project-oriented job in a work environment that values what you can DO, not just what you've done or how recently you've done it-- ideal for a mom re-entering the workforce.
And yesterday we got coupons for 4 free tickets to see GEVA's "Music Man." I entered a drawing through Genesee Valley Parent magazine and actually won. We're going to see the show on Sunday night-- we wouldn't have been able to go otherwise. It's supposed to be a great production, and it's certainly in the pantheon of shows I want my kids to see.
When you have a good day, you want the not-so-good stuff to stay away. But, of course, it's not like all the problems in your life are solved because of one good day... The weather is still gloomy and will remain damp and grey for another 3 days, at least. The bills keep coming. The weeds in the yard we can barely afford to maintain keep growing. The kids still talk back.
I choose to focus, at least for today, on the good stuff. So there.
