But. While we were there, Jakob read "Green Eggs and Ham" to his class. Upside down, so that the kids could see the pictures. With no help. Such a smartie pants.
Decided to go to the store. I always end up picking the line behind the person that takes about a hundred years. This time, the lady in front of me had expired credit cards, so she was digging around in her purse for cash, and was about 50 cents short. I happened to have a couple of quarters on me (which never happens), and so I gave that to her. And actually, she had a Walmart gift card with a couple of bucks on it that she found after she was out of line, and gave that to me. Which means I actually was ahead in the karma situation there.
Continuing down the road, trying to be a good person. I stop to let someone pull out, as there was a huge line at the stoplight.
Get home, get the kids out, open the back to get the groceries out. And my peanut butter and spaghetti sauce roll out of the van. The peanut butter, not a big deal, but the spaghetti sauce shattered, and splattered. Kind of like this:
Awesome. My question is why isn't spaghetti sauce in a plastic container? Other things that used to be glass are now plastic-baby bottles, Tang jar... Anyway, I just hope the bad spaghetti sauce karma will end there, that hopefully I got all the glass shards so that my kids won't cut their cute little feet when they go out to play in the crazy wind. But if I think about it, it's like I didn't even buy it in the first place, because of that gift card from that lady. So maybe it was a good karma day, after all.

Pondering the workings of Karma in the everyday events of life sure makes a regular day feel more important, in a cosmic sort of way. I think that connecting seeming unconnected events makes us more aware of our selves and of the people around us...and it makes for really fun blog posts. Thanks for sharing!
Karma is bitter sweet isn't it! I have a great e-mail i got today I'm going to e-mail you!
Love the new header pic. Right now I have nothing else clever or witty to say as I am basically brain dead. Is this week over yet?
Sounds like you still ended out ahead of the game. The same thing happened to me a few months ago with the spaghetti sauce. Shattered. All over the sidewalk. Maybe I should buy the tin can kind, but the glass jars taste better. I need my Prego!
ooo, sorry about the spaghetti sauce! i hate it when things like that happen because the mess isn't really as big a deal as the glass shards! yikes!
BUT, i did want to say that m. came home from school today and one of the first things she mentioned was jakob reading green eggs and ham. she was very impressed. and now she wants to take a book to school to read!
Ugh, I HATE glass bottles. Our Bishop's Storehouse applesauce is in a glass bottle, and Dylan was getting it out of the fridge, dropped it, and we had applesauce and glass all over our floor. Grrr. So I cleaned it up, and just the top of the jar had shattered, and landed on the rightful bottom of the jar. So I scraped the rest of the applesauce out of the broken jar and put it in tupperware. When Dylan went to eat the applesauce out of the tupperware, there were a couple of pieces of broken glass in it!!! It was crunching, and he kept chewing, like, "Why is this applesauce crunchy???" I was freaking out. I had to rinse his mouth out and brush his teeth. And we tossed the rest of that applesauce. Sigh.
Didn't you learn anything from reading my blog LOL I swear we're living the same life sometime:)
That exact thing has happened to me before (the spaghetti sauce breaking on the floor, not the whole short change karma thing) and I have wondered why they have not switched to plastic. So I have started buying the huge jar of sauce that comes in plastic to avoid future accidents. With my track record, chances are the plastic will break one day too.
Hope you have a super weekend!
