Run of Bad Luck...Part 2

Wow, What a Week!!!

I thought it can't get any more hectic than what I told you about in my last post....Boy, Was I Wrong!!

This being the final week before our trip there were a few things that needed to be done to "catch up".  I use quotations because of its significance, as there are never enough ways and days to actually do this strange and elusive THING.

Anyway, Monday was trim the in-laws hedge day.  Yes, in the rain.  Sick, I know.  But, when we come back there will be no moment the first week back to do it, and then we'll be right into the thick of a heat wave, I just know it!

Then Tuesday, My older two boys have been in drama class and this particular Tuesday was their last rehearsal and then the performance...all in one day.

My oldest asks me if I had a chance to get their pictures ready for the marquee.  Um...No.  Thank God for Walmart Photocentre!!  Online download of the pictures to pick up an hour later!  I then realized that we have no gps unit for this trip and we wanted one.  This particular Walmart was sold out, and they were out of duffle bags to use as suitcases...crap.

We raced out of the store to go from South Keys to Orleans.  Arrived with ten minutes to spare!Yahoo!  Made it! but still nothing.

\the next dayI then raced over to a different Walmart with my three year old to find that dang Gps unit and duffle bags.  Last one and the box had not been opened!  Great Luck!  I decided to grab a few pre cut trays of healthy foods for the kids back at the theatre, as it was a hot day and they were going to be hanging around a lot longer than usual.  Good thing I did, because not one child had a snack with them!

I called hubby to make sure he was going to be there for three when the show started...it is now two pm... my cell had died and I actually found a thing called a payphone! 

And guess what!

His power steering busted and he needed to get to the garage asap....so could I meet him there and pick him up?

Our garage is back near our end of town! 45 mins away


So, back onto the highway.  25 minutes later I pull into the garage, ten minutes wait and we are back on the highway to get back to the theatre....made it just in time to pay for tickets and fiddle with the video camera that isn't working!!

Crap!!

On the way into the theatre I touched something on the screen and all of a sudden I could see!  Thank God!!  There are Grand-parents that are going to want to see this! 

So, now our car is in the shop, power steering needs an overhaul, timing belt and water pump were due, so they'll get it done now...they get to keep the car until we come home. Cha-ching!

Wish us luck, it looks like we may need it!

A Run of Bad Luck???

Well Now!

WT_!!

Yesterday, my hubby was driving home from work at around 3am and a "hobo" (his words not mine) walked across Hunt Club road, right in front of his car, without looking, almost causing his wandering days to be over!

Rattled and unnerved, not even a block later hubby ran over a raccoon!  Just rolled right over the huge monster as it raced out from the dark.  OMG!

THEN....Today....

Hubby dropped a cast iron patio umbrella holder on his big toe!  Now, huge, purple and angry, he had to come home from work, unable to put on his safety boots.

Sigh, our vacation in  a week and a half cannot come fast enough!!

My (long) list of failures!

  Well,

Here I am, There you are!

It has been months since I've been back.  You, I know I suck!  Let's just list this as failure #1.  I don't seem have much direction lately, not that I had much before.

So, straight off, I apologize.  It is inconsiderate of me.

Now onto my list of failures.  This list consists of the things I planned to do, planned to change, and planned to share with you .  Eek! I really DO suck!

#1.   Blogging at regular intervals

#2.   Last October I wrote a post about our change of diet, including removing sugar          from our lives.  Fat Chance, my family refused to do it, and I am weak enough not to have pushed harder!

#3    same goes for veganism
#4    and Vegetarianism


Granted though, that I have iron deficiency and #3 and 4 make it very difficult to feel healthy when I can't get in enough iron!!

#5     Finishing my first novel
#6     Getting my Baby Diaper Rash spray business off the ground
#7     My homeschooled kids tried "real" school this year and failed miserably
#8     My homeschooled kids are not geniuses, and are not ahead of their peers
#9     My home reno is STILL not finished! (5yrs later!!)
#10   More debt than income, 'nuff said.

Can I keep going?  Sure, but I'm depressed enough that I want to go lay down.

Everyone blogs about how wonderful things are going, how motivated they are, how much they are doing....positive sunshine shining out of their asses.  Well, I cry BullShit!  No one person can be so bloody wonderful, all-of-the-time!

Enough people!

Trying admitting the truth!

Try a blog post about how well everything is NOT going right now!  Please let us know that you're human!


So, tell me, how shitty are things going for you right now?
