THAT'S the last time I make a list

In one of life's great ironic twists, here is what has happened since I posted the list of things that had gone wrong in our lives over the last three weeks (my most recent post):


  1. When we got home from my uncle's house on Easter night, our hot water heater had sprung a leak and partially flooded our carpeted basement.
  2. When I went to turn the light off in the den and go to bed later that night, I heard a sizzling sound and smelled smoke. It scared me so badly that I woke Grayson up, terrified that the house was going to burn down while we were sleeping. (We taped the lightswitch down and have to call an electrician.)
  3. I woke up at 3 a.m. yesterday and started vomiting, and threw up almost constantly until after noon. I haven't been that violently ill since I was pregnant with Nathaniel 10 years ago. I got so dehydrated that I couldn't get my legs to work overnight last night, and I pooped myself in the bed. And was so exhausted that I fell back asleep in it. Yes, you read that right.
  4. Yesterday afternoon Grayson came home to meet the TV repairman, since I couldn't get out of bed. Turns out, the part he ordered didn't fix the TV, and it will cost more than $500 to repair. No can do.


So,  Internet, I may or may not be taking a couple of days off here. I'm going back to work today because I feel like I have to, but I don't know if I'll make it all day. Quite frankly, I just want to crawl in a hole and sleep for 20 hours or so.

Catch you on the flip side.

Sounds like you guys have the same bad luck that we do, where everything always goes wrong. I can certainly sympathize!

Good heavens! Did you get jinxed by trying to sneak a tiki out of Hawaii or something?

Hope everyone's better soon and that you don't get electrocuted or something in the meantime!

Hoping that you made it through the day. May you never be plagued with the same scenarios ever again!
Three times the charm. I think the charm thing is over rated. One is enough.

You need a vacation. And someone else caring for your kids while you do so. Post-Haste.
