When it rains...

November has been turning out to be a month not on our side. Of course when it comes to life happening I wonder what I've been thinking to bring all this on!

First Dave. Dave's life has changed forever. And so has ours. Dave was a big part of our life and always will be. We will be there for him every step of the way. But still is say What The Fuck... and I'm still left wondering why him?

Next the total bill to fix our son's teeth. Over $2200. Again WHAT THE FUCK. Here I get extremely made at myself for not being more diligent. Yes we brushed his teeth but we hardly flossed them and I still feel like a failure as a mother. But we learn and we change! $2200 fucking later! Thankfully we have coverage! Between Hubby's 80% and my health spending plan we should be able to have the entire amount covered! However we must pay upfront first! Thankfully we have a credit card!

Now the icing on the cake! The pebble that broke the camels back! The one last bit of news that sent me over the moon with frustration. We have to get our plumbing fixed! I don't know how much this is going to cost as we have yet to have an estimator come in but we have been told it could be a few grand!

How so you ask. Well let me tell you... You might want to sit down for this one!

Saturday night I had to pee and hubby was using the bathroom upstairs. So as I'm doing my business I'm thinking how thankful I was for having two toilets in the house at a time like this! Yes. Very thankful! Then I flush and it doesn't go down. Fuck. So I plunge and what starts coming up out of the shower... I'll spare you the details but I'm sure you can imagine! FUCKING HELL!!!

I decide to try and fix this little problem myself. $50 later at home depot (gloves, screws for gate and a $26 $40 snake) and it doesn't work. I call a friends husband and he tells me I'm going to have to remove the toilet and try to snake it 10 to 15 times however the fumes can be a bit deadly for the family! FUCK and after telling hubby this he says he's not letting me do that! So he calls a plumber. $300 later, toilet off and camera down we are advised that our lines have a few sags that need to be fixed. Not only that but the dumb asses who renovated the bathroom didn't set the toilet on right and it would take the plumber two hours to put back on because he'd have to cut the tile. AND they are not sure if our City Shut Off Valve is broken or just propped open! Fixing the valve is $1000 alone! FUCK! And fixing the pipes we have to rip up the floor in the bathroom and laundry room! Dear Universe. When I said I wanted to renovate the bathrooms I was thinking SOAKER TUB AND LINO! Note to self.. Clarify!

And how the hell do they get "sags" anyway? I need to Google this shit! Pun intended!

So I lost it inside my head and on Facebook LOL. I also have to say goodbye to saving for my hardwood floors through out our home for at least another few years! AND we do not have a second toilet any more! Which sucks because we have my Dad here for a little bit and then Hubby's mom is coming for Christmas!

What happened to being grateful for things? So what being grateful for a second toilet means it's being taken away? Fuck you!

BUT I have to remember this isn't the end of the world! Everything happens for a reason! Even if I can't see the reason right now. And it always works out in the end!

AND everyone is alive! My family is healthy! We still have a useful bathroom and a roof over our heads! Not to mention the killer savings I'm going to get on my Dyson thanks to Passion Parties bonus cheques and my mom! Yeah!

Now all I need is a few more parties to get me through Christmas!

Sigh...
