Life gets so crazy sometimes. It gets to the point where you just want to scream and go hide somewhere until things calm down. When things seem to be at their worst, I remind myself that it could be worst and that there is someone out there who wishes they had my life. The things that seem to be so bad in our lives are usually so trivial, and in a week or two, they are totally forgotten.

This week hasn’t been too bad for me. My worst problems this week: I have three dogs-they have fleas. I have a cat-he has fleas. I have a huge front hard and an even bigger back yard-both have fleas. I have had animals all my life and I have never seen this many fleas. The good news is that there are no ticks…I shouldn’t have said that. There will probably be ticks tomorrow. I’m calling an exterminator on Monday. This job is too big for me to handle.

If I have had any other problems this week they must have been trivial, because I already forgot them! Who knows what next week will bring. Hopefully the fleas will be gone, so I will have room for a whole new set of problems! If we didn’t have problems and set backs in life then where would we get our motivation from?
