So no pictures yet. I couldn't get my computer to cooperate with me last night. I'll try again tonight.
I just need a moment to vent. I'll try to make it quick. =) I know that life throws you many curve balls, but geez. Can't a girl get a break? Our microwave - still broken. Our china cabinet - still no glass. While we were gone to the beach we had so much rain that our basement flooded. Britt and my dad had to pull up half of the carpet downstairs. It is completely RUINED!!We have only been in the house for a year now after a fire and now we have flood damage. One extreme to the other. UGGGHHHHH!!!!! So now we are going to have to tile it or something. Which is going to be a butt load of money. Then Britt was going to play golf in Hickory yesterday and his truck wouldn't start, so he drove his Dad's old Oldsmobile. He got to Hickory and then it died on him. He broke down on Hwy 127 and had to leave the car there. Thank goodness a friend was following him and he was able to have a ride home.
I know that things could be a lot worse. At least we are healthy and have a roof over our head. We have awesome friends and family. I shouldn't be whining and complaining, but it seems as if we can never save money due to something breaking. Really, am I just a drama queen, or does it seem as if it is always something? And not just a little something. It's usually something major. It's just so frustrating. You get knocked down and as soon as you get back on your feet, bam your down again.
Ok. I'm finished griping now. I'm just so happy that I have the campground to look forward to for the next week. Going out there helps take my mind off of everything for a while.

Oh girl! That is awful! Doesn't it seem like everything goes wrong at once. I mean, you'll have a month or two where everything is great - no problems, saving some money - and then two or three things happen. That's how it was here this summer. The roof on the porch was leaking a little, and like a month later, it is completely leaking everywhere. As soon as Ben finished it, the bathtub tile started to come out because the pipe behind it was leaking. So, we had to take the walls out and completely put up new ones. Maybe you'll have a few months now where nothing goes wrong! I'll cross my fingers for you!
YES! GIrl...I soooo feel your pain! Your vent is MY vent tooo!!!
Life sometimes just plain sucks does it not! I keep thinking that this is God showing me how to manage money so one day when he bless' me with a TON of it I won't be so keen to throw it away. But I mean, come on...don't you think the Good Man upstairs could trust a little more NOW! I so understand. Then there are those people who live such a fluffy life where things like this NEVER happen!
TO a tee can understand! I got tires last week! 3 days later...nail in the new tire! WHAT!? INSANE! My mircrowave IS STILL broke too! LOL! I feel a need for a martini and pedicure!
Tell me about it! I had budgeted all summer long so I could stay at home with Grayson and boom, if it could happen it happened. In one week we spent $300 at the vet on Bailey just so they could tell us he had a respiratory infection, a.k.a. a bad cold, Jon backed into mom's car and broke her tail light, and then to top it all off I was vacuuming and the bottom of the vacuum cleaner just snapped off. Don't you just love life?
Just to let you know, Jonathan still does tile work on the side. He can't lay it for a living anymore because he's so tall and it kills his back, but he still works occasionally for friends and family at a cheap price. Didn't know if Britt knew how to do the tile work himself or if ya'll were going to contract out.
It does seem you have had a run of bad luck! I've been there. I haven't had too much go wrong with the house...b/c we are never in one house long enough for things to break. ; ) But, definetly been there...the sun will shine again!! Through it all you will be stronger, right? What doesn't kill you...makes you stronger...until then it sucks!!
Love ya!
