Why is that when things go bad they can't just go a little bad? Is this like some cosmic joke that when things go bad they have to go really bad?

With our trip to Victoria, even with all it's own little quirks, out of the way I thought we had a great start to another fabulous North West summer. But it seems that sine we've been home things have slowly unraveled and now here I am today, some what amused by the fact that things are as crazy as they are.

First my Dishwasher has been growling at me off and on when I try to use it for a quite a while now. Well it's officially decided it hates me and now grumbles and groans and growls at every use. Time for a new one!

Second my gas range has had a burner out of commission since we moved into our house. I learned to work around it. But now a second burner has decided to join the first in it's protest to my cooking. Time for a new range!

Third, Kailey got the flu last Monday so on Tuesday I took her to the doctor only to find out that I paid $30 for a doctor to tell me that there was nothing they could do because the only people who have flu vacs are the people at the hospital. So Kailey suffers through the flu but still isn't better after a week. So yesterday I took her back to the doctor paying another $30 for them to now tell me that she has a double ear infection as a result of the flu. GRRRR!!!! Could they not have just given me the antibiotic last week and saved Kailey the pain and suffering and me the $30 ?!?! I swear doctors are like a necessary evil!

Fourth, I take Garrett to the doc for his 8 month well child check and find out he has pink eye. Well of course it only took a couple days for that to spread to the other eye!

Fifth and last but certainly not least, we had an upstairs toilet overflow, without us knowing, flooding the bathroom and leaking into Kailey's room and down to the main floor. It's a mess. It could be worse, but it's still a mess.

So with two appliances on the fritz, two sick kids, and floor dryers blowing 24/7 I'd say that things can really only go up from here right? Well at least it's an eventful start to summer! Let's just hope that means that the rest of summer will slow and quiet!
