Erma Bombeck

You remember Erma Bombeck? The Grass is Always Greener on the Other Side of the Fence!
Well that grass in China better be pretty green!!! I'm just saying.... I feel a little like that saying. "If anything can go wrong it will.". I mean really people..... If Life Is a Bowl of Cherries why am I in the Pitts??? Seriously.....first, I have my car towed from my garage to the dealership because it won't start. I'm not crazy or anything, it really wouldn't start! I have witnesses!! I don't hear anything from them for a day, when they finally call I get this from them.
"Hello, this is IDIOT from Lithia Dodge, we have your Jeep here and we were wondering why.". UNBELIEVABLE!!! I tell, we'll call him IDIOT #3, that it won't start and the guy I called and talked to told me to have it towed there. Then another guy from there told me who to have tow it. " Oh says IDIOT "3 we probably won't get to it untill tomorrow now since it is almost closing time....I was totally shocked....NOT! Next day I get a call telling me it's ready they did all the tests and there is nothing wrong with it! Started right up! I can come get it, that will be $100. Totally shocked!...NOT! Sooo....today I go to my friends for dinner. I get out of my car and hear a very hold hissing sound. I'm thinking is there a gas leak in the garage? What's going on? I look around and start going toward the sound... Which leads me straight to my back tire! I reach down and run my hand along the tire and feel AIR! To my dismay there is a screw sticking out. Now I realize it's Sunday so I just have to let the life seep out of my tire and figure out to use the air thingybob in the morning so I can speed to the tire shop. It's these bumps in life that I have had lately, and I've only mentioned the minor ones, that make me start thinking. Is there greener grass somewhere? Will it be better....softer....not make me miserable. Are there cherries without Pitts out there somewhere? If so where are they? And if anything can go wrong, it will...then what next? Then I stopped and reminded myself that life is an adventure...we sure don't want it too easy, then it would be boring, we would become weak. So we take the lumps and the bumps and we get tough. We learn how to Pitt our own Cherries, and make our own grass greener and we thank our Father in Heaven that we have grass to fertilize and cherries to Pitt, a body to take care of and family to love! I don't think the grass will be greener in Beijing, but the love of my life is there. Who needs grass?
