When it rains...
....yes, it pours. The proverbial sun has not been shining on us in the last 24 hours. I'm holding my breath because, you know Murphy's Law and back luck happens in 3's and all that jazz.
El spent the weekend with us and since Rob had to work, he decided to mow the grass to help out while I was at the grocery store. A very sweet gesture. Except he hit the oil pipe outlet in our yard and seized up our not very old lawn mower. Looks like he bent the drive shaft and its completely f'ed. He felt really bad. Poor guy. .....poor us since we now need to go buy another lawnmower with that money we don't have.
And then at the crack of dawn this morning Rob stomped into the bedroom and informed me I had ruined all his work shirts. Apparently there was a black ink pen in the laundry that I tossed in the dryer before going to bed. And it was a huge load. Connor's jeans, Rob's work shirts, miscellaneous other articles of clothing.... all covered in black streaks and blotches. The inside of the dryer is covered too. Frown. I now need to go research stain removal. Although it may be a lost cause since it occured in the dryer and everything is probably heat set by now.
I'm waiting for the other shoe to drop.... wondering what the 3rd bad thing will be. I keep telling myself not to be negative but it never fails. Hopefully its just a little sandal and not a huge workboot.
