Aggravations and Silver Linings

Candy and Clearance Make Momma Happy

I was all set out to talk about things that aggravated me this week.

But, as I was looking through my pictures, I realized that I had some silver linings that were born from my aggravations.

Aggravation: The potty training regression debacle.

Silver Lining: I got a lot of great feedback from everyone, including new visitors! Starting over with sugared up rewards for going potty seems to be working. And, we now have candy in the house (some of which, maybe, I've eaten). BONUS! Oh yeah, and the baby girl was dry today. So far, all day. DOUBLE BONUS!

Aggravation: For a myriad of reasons, I was home bound pretty much all of last week.

Silver Lining: I finally got a few hours to get out of the house by myself! When I do get a few hours to myself, I browse. I love browsing. I love going to Target or Kohl's or wherever, sweet and strong coffee concoction in hand, and browse. I try on clothes I probably won't buy. I look at things I could put on walls. And with no kids, it's peaceful, I'm content, it's fabulous.

And look what I picked up at Kohl's!

Marked down to $5.99, LOVE can come live at my house.

But, wait! When I got to the register it was marked down even further. I only paid like $4.50 for it. Score!

Aggravation: Target's dressing room double mirror hell. As much as I love Target, they have to have the most awful, unflattering, horrific dressing rooms of all time. There's a mirror in front - and the worst part - there's a mirror in back! Yikes. I did not want to see all that. A Target dressing room can single handedly make me want to go on a diet, ditch my entire wardrobe, and change everything about my hair in one visit. Damn you, Target dressing room!

Silver Lining: I got cheetah print shoes on clearance for $8.98!!!

How could I not buy these for $8.98?!

So I bought them.

 Now, I don't know who I think I am. I don't know where I'll wear them. Probably to the kitchen or something. For that price, though, I couldn't pass these babies up! It made me happy, further fueling my affinity for anything and everything cheetah print.

Here's to a new week full of more silver linings than aggravations!
