There was once a girl named Cori. She was a lucky girl. She had good friends and a great family. Life was going well. In November, Cori had a very good weekend. She got her last certification test out of the way, spent time with fun friends, caught up with friends she had not seen in awhile, and had a wonderful Sunday morning church service. In all it was a terrific, fantastic, fun, very good weekend.
However, life turns in circles and every good thing seems to have an opposite. Today was my day spent as Alexander, with a terrible, horrible, no good, very bad day! My teacher was absent and I had no sub. That would have been fine, but my kids took it upon themselves to be demonic today. I don't know what possessed them, but it was outrageous! Almost hilarious, after the fact. So, I make it through school and leave, just to discover that somehow I had a flat tire. I made it to a 7-11 to get free air. As I start pumping, I discover that somehow I ran over something and have a hole in my tire. Every bit of air I am putting into that tire is shooting out of the hole! And of course, my phone was dead! So there I sit at 7-11 in my pretty teacher clothes, dumb me decided to wear a skirt today, trying to jack up my car so I can change my tire. This would have worked, I do know how to change a tire (thanks mom), however it was windy and freezing and my fingers were numb. So an easy job turned into a 45 minute struggle to get my jack to work. Finally some guy decided to take pity on my freezing ineptitude and changed my tire for me. So, knowing that I shouldn't take the highway to get back to the North part of the city, I try to find my way back. I only thought I knew my way around. Ha, that was a fun experience. I spent about an hour lost, didn't make it back in time to work, had enough time to print out my papers for class, go to class and discover there is no class.
So here I sit. I am finally home. In a warm apartment, thanking God that today is over. It could have been so much worse. Something bad could have happened, instead of a few inconviences. God took care of me again, and made sure that I wasnt hurt. From now I will keep my phone charged, and will keep trusting. Reading back through this, it wasn't that horrible of a day, and is almost funny...almost.
