Thank you all for your thoughts. I like hearing what others have to say about situations. smile

Kaffe Diem~I'm still laughing about giving kids lights so you can put them in the backyard! Funny mental picture, thank you for that!!

So today I was going to mow the grass when I got home, well, that didn't really work out too well. I filled the mower with gas, mowed for about 5-10 minutes and the mower shut off.... strange.... so I check the gas.... well look at that, it is all gone.... yep.... of course it is, why wouldn't it be, I mean really? So I have no idea where it is leaking and assume there is probably nothing I can do about it, looked everywhere, turned it on it's side, and didn't see anything wet, but I don't know anything about lawn mowers..... but I am not looking forward to my conversation with dear one. Part of me just wants to run out and buy a cheap one now, but if I do that he will say why didn't you talk to me first and I would be tempted to say because apparently talking to me is a fate worse than death in your crazy little head!!!! ( I WOULDN'T actually say that though). And who knows what time he will get home tonight, so I'm just letting the darn thing sit out, no sense putting it back in the garage when it doesn't work.

Anyway, I am trying to stay in my happy place. Things could be worse.... perhaps me going to the Educating Homeless Children Conference these past 2 days did a good job of putting things in perspective.... they had some great guest speakers who have been homeless. So a mower that isn't working isn't that big of deal. grin
