Thankful Thursday

So this happened a few months ago. But still comes to mind often( When I have a bad day). It was a really rough day both kids where really whiny and I was going crazy trying to get stuff done. I thought it would be good for us to get out of the house. So I packed up the kids and went to the movie store at the time we had a MVP membership at Hollywood Video where you could have 3 movies out at a time as much as you want. Nate said he would return them that morning so I knew I was good to get new ones. I was planning on getting 2 movies for Taylor and one for myself. So I let her pick her 2 first so that she could hold something and be distracted while I picked mine. That didn't turn out so well she threw them on the ground and was running around the store. I was holding Emmas car seat(she was screaming) so I couldn't really run after her easily. So I just grabbed a movie and went to find her. Finally we got up the front and low and behold Nate DIDN'T return the movies. I almost started screaming at the lady behind the counter as if it was her fault. She probably thought I was crazy. Then we went to Little Caesars because I did not want to cook and I have a real problem with leaving my kids in my car while I run in somewhere so I of course lugged them in bought a pizza and my arms where full so I put the pizza on top of the car to get the girls in. I started driving and I heard a big thud as the Pizza slid down my windshield and hit the trunk. I pulled over practically in tears thinking well I need to turn around and get a new one and there was a cop about 3 cars behind me. He stopped in front of the pizza now scattered all over the road put his lights on got out put on some gloves on and picked it up I felt like the biggest idiot(even though nowone knew is was me) anyway I turned around and went back to the store lugged the kids in and they had suddenly gotten busy So they didn't have any already made so I had to wait. Taylor had taken her shoes of in the time it took me to get back and I thought it would be fast so I just carried her in wellthat meant now that I would have to hold her on my lap and she wouldn't have it! she was practically screaming the whole time we waited, I also got a text while I was waiting from nate telling me that I need to go fill up in gas because prices where suppose to sky rocket the next morning. I just wanted to go HOME!!! BUt I put the pizza safely in my car and drove to the gas station got out to fill up and it wouldn't read my card I was so upset at this point that I jut got in my car and sat with my face on the steering wheel for a while then slowly pulled to another pump got out and was pumping gas and randomly some guy started walking toward me. My initial thought was. ugh I really don't want to talk to anyone. He said HI how are you today? Great I said sarcastically. he said do you mind if I clean your windows not for money or anything as he already started to clean. I need to do my one GOOd deed for the day. I looked at him surprised and said sure although he was practically done already. he finished and then just left. He had TOTALLY made my day by simply asking if he could wash my windshield! I am so thankful for those people out there that make an effort to do nice things for others. If you are one of those people just know you DO make a difference. As ever so small as that mans gesture was it meant and still means a lot to me.



By the way I have finished New Moon and Eclipse and can't wait to start Breaking Dawn!!
