When Life Gives You Lemons, Drink LEMONADE!

If you read my WILW post, you'll know that ~~today~~ this week hasn't been a good for me. It's been one of those weeks where I just feel like crap and life sucks, which is really odd for me. Well, here are a few reasons why I've been in this funk, as my mom would say...

1. My hours at work got cut in half, which means my paycheck got cut in half.

2. Since our vacation to expensive-ville Miami, we've been having a hard time with money (i.e. paying bills, buying groceries, shopping, etc).

3. Even though 'that time of the month' is over, I'm still feeling fat and bloated.

4. Searching for a new job sucks.

5. Our kitchen pantry has been EMPTY for the past week or so now.

So going off all that, I haven't been in the greatest of moods lately. It makes me feel even worse, because even though I still try to be my sweet self, I snap here and there and I feel so bad.

But...

Today on my way home from work, I took my usual detour so I wouldn't have to sit in traffic with all the construction going on around us. And while driving through the neighborhood across the way, there were the cutest little kids holding up a handmade sign saying "Lemonade Stand 50 cents!"

I just had to stop. The parents with them made it seem like I was the only one who would stop with the comments they made. These kids were so excited and it put the biggest smile on my face. When I gave them a dollar and told them to keep the change, it was like they had just won the lottery. It was so cute! The whole way home I couldn't stop smiling, and the lemonade was pretty good too. It made my day so much better and I just have to keep telling myself that things will get better.
