I don't know .....

if it's in the stars or what.....but this picture describes pretty much how I feel about now. It seems like every time I turn around I'm spending money for necessary things that have to be done.
Last week I had a couple boys here to clear off my river bank. They did a fantastic job. It is so nice to look out and see the river instead of weeds and river birches. Next I had my house cleaned, it is my one luxury I treat myself too, but it costs money. On Sunday my friend mentioned to me that one of my old maple trees has a pretty big limb just hanging about 40 feet from the ground. I had my boys take a look at it to see if I will need to get a tree trimmer in here to cut it out. Now since we had that wonderful rain soon my grass will need cut. The electronic ignitor in my oven quit working and I had to get it repaired. My little fan that I keep in the kitchen went out and I had to replace it during the hottest days of summer.....you know I paid an inflated price for the replacement, but I needed it. It just seems like a bunch of little things....a ripped screen, a broken downspout, a back door that will no longer close properly and lock.....just a bunch of "irritants" and all of them mean money flying out the window.
I hope the fates start feeling sorry for me and gave me a small something to keep my spirits up. Sigh.....win some, lose some.
And how is YOUR summer going? Just remember to keep smilin'.....it keeps people confused and off-guard, if nothing else. LOL
