Murphy's Law and a lot of Complaining!

We have had the worst luck since we've moved here! I'm serious! On the drive out here in August our van brakes started going out and everything needed to be replaced $450 later, then I had to go to the ER in September because they thought I was having a heart attack or a pulmonary embolism. Luckily I was fine but petrified that my baby would come out extra limbs because of the test they ran on me with all that radiation... $1200 later. Then Joel's 10 year old mazda has had one problem after another, another $1000 later. Our brand new dishwasher's mother board was fried and we were without a dishwasher for several weeks and had two different repairmen come out, garbage disposal motor went out and it took two weeks and three repairmen visits to get it fixed, $200 later. Our brand new dryer keeps going out and I've been without a dryer for almost three weeks and by tomorrow will have the third repairman come out. Then my airbag light came on and just to have it checked out and get the light turned off it cost me $100!!!!!!! Did I mention that our computer is shot and runs as slow as a dinosaur, but because of all of the above we can't afford to buy a new one and Joel desperately needs a new car, but we don't want two car payments... what to do??? Can you believe it! So I guess I'm supposed to make lemonade or something!

What else-- Here's some TMI, this pregnancy has been awful for me. So I had the ER visit, the throwing up all the time, heart burn, acid reflux, and feeling like someone was sitting on my chest all the time in the first trimester. The second trimester I've had vulvar varacosities, which if you don't know are varicose veins in my "delicate region". This makes it so swollen and horrifying to look at (not that I usually do) but, it's not pretty and I can't stand for more than 5-10 minutes without being in a great deal of pain. Luckily I found this really sexy jock strap for pregnant women with this problem and it actually helps me a ton! It just sucks to wear. Not comfy, but better than swaying back and forth in pain. Now I have some sort of pinched nerve in my hip, and all the while, I'm still trying to get my house settled! Most days I upgrade from my p.j's to sweats because I really don't care or feel good enough about how I look. Is this just third pregnancies in general? I don't know!


I told you it was sexy!

Other than that, GL lost his front tooth and the other one is hanging on by a thread. It is seriously the funniest thing ever! I had the dentist just pull it out while we were at his dentist appointments getting yes 6 cavities filled and two crowns, $700 later! I swear we make him brush his teeth every day! Allegra was jealous that he has two "star" teeth and she only has one. I told her, you don't want more than one! What else, GL also has a nasty rash on his elbows called molluscum contagiousum which looks like a bunch of warts. It just goes away on it's own and can last up to 2 years! I did some more looking on the internet and found a wheat grass spray and it is almost cleared up! The doc said you can't do anything for it except pop them or cut them out. I'm glad I found this stuff.



Ok, enough complaining, just wanted to vent!
