I Took A Deep Breath ...

.... when Bob came into our bedroom today and said: "Will you love me even though I just did something really stupid?"

Long story....last week he lost his wallet and called the bank and canceled his ATM/debt and credit card. (Of course, two hours later his found his wallet). That night, I'm at the store and try to use my credit card for text books ... declined. Ok, so I pull out my ATM card and use that....so much for having a month to pay for the books....again, no big deal. Call the bank the next day and find out our cards have the same number (argh!).

It takes 7 - 10 business days for replacement cards so for a week, Bob has been sporadically borrowing my ATM/debit card while he waits for his to come in the mail.

Today, the love of my life receives two new credit cards (one for him and one for me) and also his new ATM/debit card. He activates all three and then goes into his wallet, pulls out the debit card and proceeds to cut it up. The problem?? It was MY DEBIT CARD which he had borrowed again to buy something.

*Picture Marni's face turning to stone and eyes hardening to laser beams ....

(calming breath) I swear God is testing me. For many years now during Lent I try to do something which is extremely difficult for me. This year I decided to try to find the good in every situation which annoys me.

Yes, God definitely has a good sense of humor.
