Ok, so I don't like to complain a lot, I try to be a happy person. I tend to think that if you are miserable, that more miserable things tend to happen. I have always been lucky---and I have always been optomistic. But, it is getting really hard to stay that way after the past 2 weeks.
On Sunday, the 20th of July I made the mistake of thinking I would do some laundry. Our washer, which is exactly 2 years old, decided that it would stick on fill mode, therefore flooding my house for the 2nd time this year!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! The laundry room, which is also a big storage room (10x17) was about an inch deep, and of couse it went through the baseboards and into the 4th bedroom, and through the baseboards on the other wall into T's closet. GRRRRRRRRR. So we had to spend the rest of the day cleaning up the water, and drying it all out with fans, and then putting everything back......which took several days. So then the day we went to find out if the baby is a boy or girl DH woke up really sick, sore throat, and stuffy nose, and miserable....so it kinda put a damper on the day. Then on the 26th (Saturday..) our hot water heater decided it was a good day to start leaking!!!!!!!!!!!!!! What is it with us and water???
So even though dh was so sick he almost went to the ER (aches and pains from his cold or flu- and so tired he could barley stay concious) he had to go to Home Depot and buy a $400 water heater. And then had to spend Sunday installing it. Our renter at our old house that won't sell is 14 days late with the rent again. As if that isn't bad enough my cat has dissappeared. (I posted about him in another thread....Pets) I have spent 2 days crying about him. We don't know what happened to him, but the coyotes in the area are really snacking on a lot of small pets.

And now my throat is getting soar.
I keep thinking, it will get better. But will it???????
I know, I do have a lot to be thankful for, but what is going on.
The crazy thing is that dh broke a huge mirror on the day before all of this started.....and neither one of us is superstitious.....yet all of this is starting to make me wonder.
I just needed to vent. ----Everything would be ok if that silly cat (Rex) would just come home.
The only good thing that happened this week was finding out we are getting our baby girl. ( A little sister for T)
