This boy is the sweetest thing!!
Don’t worry, I will bore you with a list of things gone bad in these last few weeks.
1. Vacuum broke
2. Car broke not once, but twice
3. Stomach flu attacked
4. The wreath I made, broke in half (this was super sad as I don’t make anything because I lack crafty skills)
5. Pipe leak in our garage (can’t wait to see our water bill)
6. Gas prices went up
7. Blender glass shattered (which John and I use OFTEN)
8. My Tiffany’s necklace my sister gave me is gone
9. I did a 550 piece puzzle the other day only to find 3 pieces missing, ANNOYING!
and
10. I stubbed my toe and now it’s black under the nail (I hope it doesn’t fall off)
Among so many other crazy happenings!!
Everyone, all at once say, “Ahhhh, poor thing!” Thanks that makes me feel better.
Well, I decided yesterday on a whim, to leave this cruddy streak of bad luck and head to Arizona, I was in desperate need of my mother. It was official, plans were in motion and bags were being packed. In comes Jax, “Mom, I really don’t want to go to Arizona.”
“Why?”
“I really just want our family to be all together.”
“It’s just a small trip, we will be back.”
“I really just don’t want to go.” Tears started down his checks.
“Ok, well we don’t have to go today, we can wait till tomorrow.”
“I really don’t want to leave.” More tears
Long pause…..“I will talk to dad when he gets home and see what he says, ok?”
“Ok”
I called John right away and told him this little conversation I had with Jax, it was very unsettling to me. Jax loves AZ and his cousins, it was unlike him to come to me with a strong feeling about something.
When John got home he talked to Jax, it was the same story. John then tells me he thinks we shouldn’t make the trip to AZ. John was now not feeling right about it either.
I don’t know what would of happened, if anything. I do know that he felt strongly about not going. I was not feeling the same way at the time, but once John came to me and felt the same way, I knew it wasn’t meant for me to runaway from my bad luck and frolic in the Arizona desert.
Now I am unpacking from a trip I didn’t take. It’s a little odd.
I am grateful for Jax, he truly is a sweet boy with a sweet spirit!! I think we’ll keep him!

one of those important lessons we learn from ourselves, but get to teach our children at the same time. You can always use this story when he is older and wants to go somewhere that you don't agree with :) however, he seems so sweet, I bet that never happens!
best wishes getting out of the bad luck streak!!
