Poor Me...

Yes, I confess that I am indeed feeling sorry for myself. I've tried to stay optimistic and keep a smile on my face but today I just can't do it any longer.

The reason for my pitty party is because we have had a chain of unfortunate events occur in our household over the past couple weeks. Earlier in the month our SUV was in the shop for repairs that cost us quite a bit of money and then unfortunately a couple days after bringing it home another problem mysteriously came up with it. So off it went into the shop again where they held on to it for several days while trying to diagnose the latest issue with it. Turned out that some work we had done at another location two years ago was not done correctly and caused "major damage" to our vehicle. The latest repair to our truck is costing us approximately $2200 on top of the $1300 we put into it earlier in the month. EEEK you might say, I know I did!


So we returned home from our vacation with this unexpected expense looming over our heads. The truck was suppose to be done upon our return however the shop has had machine problems and so it still is sitting there. They have had it for nearly 3 weeks now.

Can it get worse you ask? Apparently so. Last Friday while stopping by my sisters house I unknowingly dropped my iphone in my sisters driveway. By the time I realized it wasnt with me and I went outside to get it, someone else had already seen it and taken it. I had the pleasure of replacing my $200 phone last weekend.

I was mighty depressed with those two unfortunate events occuring and expenses adding up. My husband told me over dinner last Saturday night that he was in process of planning and surprising our family with a 10 road trip to California this September where would stop in San Francisco, Disneyland, Universal Studio's, Sea World etc. Talk about depressing! As I'm sure you guessed, that trip is now on hold until who knows when.

You may be wondering WHY there is a picture of my refrigerator as my blip today. Well that's because late last night our refrigerator died on us. Really is this seriously happening to us?

Tomorrow I have the pleasure of shopping for a new refrigerator that we will now call our 15 year anniversary gift to each other. Please tell me things are going to get better? I apolgoize for my pitty party and for this not being a "fun" blip. I just didn't have it in me today
