3's

They say bad things happen in 3's right? Well, if I were superstitious-I would agree with them. The last 24 hours has been one of things breaking and costing a lot of money!

1. The Anti-lock break system in my car. Yikes. My car is only 3 years old, so when the break light came on it made me pause. After a call into On-Star (best feature ever sold on a car), it was determined that my car needed an immediate tune up to prevent my breaks from going out. It had something to do with the electronic board that controls the breaks. I don't know about you, but I don't put off servicing anything that controls my breaks. I have precious cargo named Everett that is not worth risking putting it off! Fortunately it was covered under the warranty, but it was still a deductible paid, a headache, and lots of time running back and forth.

2. The Refrigerator. Ugh. This fridge came with the house when we bought it, and I think it was the one that came from the builder. So lets just say that it did the job, but was not built for longevity. We have been doing some quick fixes recently trying to get a few more miles out of it, but it finally went kaput. Sooooo....a trip to Home Depot and a no interest payment plan later we will have our new fridge on Saturday. Until then, there are a lot of trips out to the garage fridge. The poor garage fridge is standing on its' last legs too, but boy am I glad we have it! The silver lining is that I have always wanted an ice/water dispenser, and now I will have one. I just did not want to have to buy a new one to get it-oh well. :)

3. My phone. ARGHHHHH! It was working one minute and then went totally dark the next. This little phone is my life line for work. When it does not work, it makes it hard for me to get work done! After Rob gave himself a head ache figuring it out, he worked his magic and voila!-it is now up and running. However, I keep looking at it skeptically thinking it will die on me any second again. I feel like that girl that has a steady boyfriend that inexplicably breaks up with her-then he comes to his senses and asks to come back. The girl takes him back but always has that feeling of doubt. Well-that is how I now feel about my phone.

I hope my bad luck streak is now done. I feel like I have spent my day trying to fix the "things" in my life that make my life infinitely easier. I guess this was a good reality check of what my days would look like with out my phone, car, or fridge.
