Blue Happy Truck Is Down

November 5, 2018

Well if you follow me on Facebook you saw the pictures of my Blue Happy Truck and the damage it has. Minding my own business going about my busy little life and Monday morning rolls around. There are 3 possibilities when it happened. I’m not sure because of my morning routine. Maybe it happened in the middle of the night and with my rush to get to the gym I didn’t notice. I turn my music really loud going and coming from the gym. It’s extremely early and dark so I noticed nothing. If it happened at the gym still I didn’t notice because of the music. I came home from the gym and started my morning routine to get ready for school. Once I start to school I don’t have any music on because it’s my quite time to work out my day in my head and pray. Yes I’m that crazy lady you see talking to her self, but really I’m talking to God. I notice a sound like a window was down. I checked all the buttons nothing. I checked the screen on my dash and no doors where open. Thats when I look in my rear view window. I could see there was small pieces of glass missing in my rear window. I was at a point where I had to cross rail road tracks and when I did it shattered all in my seat and in the bed of my truck. I was just about to pull over and it started to rain.  Oh Monday what did I do to you to deserve all of this.

Just like that with one phone call my night in shinning armor came to my rescue.  I was so upset, my truck is the back bone of Blue Happy and it is greatly used daily.  We’ve had a few bumps the past few weeks and this just seemed to break me a bit.  Greg was right in front of my within just a few minutes he knew I was really upset.  I had like 10 minutes to get it covered and get to class to teach my high school kiddo’s.  He always seems to make things better.  I’m strong most of the time but in those times when I’m weak I’m so glad I have him.    Everyday of life is a surprise and we never know what is going to happen.  For the most my life is pretty darn simple.  I’m grateful for all the blessings and the bumps.  We learn from all that life tosses at us.  Today was pretty upsetting but it was a reminder that it’s okay for me to lean on Greg.  I don’t have to be strong all the time……..and just like that I found the good in a bad situation.

Tomorrow was going to be a Waco trip day but that will have to be delayed until Friday. It’s late and the projects I started over the weekend needed to be clear coated today but that didn’t happen.  With all the changing of cars and figuring out how to get it all fixed up time got away from me.  So I’ll be finishing up projects tomorrow.  I’ve got a modern piece I’m forcing to be farmhouse.  It can be done and I’m going to prove it and share that on a blog this week.  I’m finishing up a gift for a special family member and redoing a piece that was bought new but needs to look old.  I also can’t wait to share with you a new place to work and store my stash.  Yes Blue Happy is on the move to a bigger place.  All of this on the blog this week so stay turned.
