It's Pouring here..


It's really just one of those days  weeks where I feel like that girl.  I just want to scream out in frustration.  Or throw something.   Preferably throwing & screaming at the same time.  Basically, what I'm saying is  I want to have a good ole fashion temper tantrum. 

Why you ask?  I'll tell you why.  Because everything around me is falling apart.   In the past 5 weeks, we have had to replace and/or repair:

  • the a/c unit for the upstairs
  • the boat dock at our river place
  • my dog's ACL
  • our boat (ended up being nothing)
  • the Tahoe
  • the Altima (it died while on the way to the shop to get the truck)
We've dropped roughly $5000 on this crap.  Every time I swipe that card to fix something, all I see are all of the shoes, purses & other things that I could have had. 

N joked that he was going to break his arm in the next few days when he overheard me saying, "what else is gonna go wrong."  I looked at him with all seriousness & told him that if he does, it's not getting fixed.  At least not professionally.  I'm sure we could whip something up with some duct tape & hot glue.  Can't you fix everything with those?

I'm done having my pity party.  For now.  Maybe I'll feel better tomorrow.  We'll see.

It sure does. Sorry! Things always turn around, though!
