Lately we have had one bad luck after another. For some reason every time we get a little extra money it is GONE quickly for unnecessary reasons! Hubby got his end of the year bonus, that we were going to put in savings and not touch! Its now all gone! :(
{1.} It started off with Maggie going in heat. After a dog tearing up our fence and possibly have gotten Maggie pregnant, we had to get her fixed. Which an umbilical hernia repair was thrown in also.
{2.} Our internet modem is on the fritz and reboots itself every couple of minutes. Meaning I can't accomplish anything on the internet while getting interrupted frequently and having to wait until it finishes rebooting.
{3.} Our microwave died! I was in the middle of cooking a soup in my pampered chef baker. I cooked the meat and all I had to do was finish cooking the noodles with the broth and tomatoes. Put it all in for 12 minutes, took it out to feel it was as cold as it started!!! We bought this microwave new in December 2009 and it died December 2011! It was only 2 years old! Ahhhhh! Hubby took the part to work and found out the part that is the heart of the microwave, the one that creates the heat, was the culprit and it was going to be $100 to $150 to replace. Nope, just getting a new one. I LOVED my old one and did not WANT a new one. After a couple weeks of not having the convenience of quick cooking, we broke down and bought one. Its okay so far, its bigger and bulkier but it does heat and its alot quieter than the old one.
{4.} That same stray dog kept coming back to our house even though our dogs hadn't been out there is almost 2 weeks. After all these weeks of dealing with him, he had made such a big hole in the fence that he could basically just walking in and out of our fence. New fence it is!
{5.} Since it gets dark so early Hubby couldn't work on the fence during the week, so it all had to be accomplished this weekend. We sent our dogs to my dad's to stay while we got it fixed. While there, Maggie drug all the sticks out of his woods into the yard, tore up a plastic bucket, and Elle chewed up his crawl space door! Then as we were cleaning and fixing, the neighbor came to talk to us. Basically he said Maggie was threatening his dog, growling, and trying to jump the fence. I told him that no, she was trying to play with your dog through the fence and that she is a very sweet dog. After talking to my dad, he told me the neighbors dog would chase after him when he's on the lawnmower and growl and show his teeth! Obviously its not My dog that is the problem. The main reason for the neighbor coming to talk to us was to tell us that the next time we bring her over we needed to let them know a day or two in advance because they "can't use their yard for what it's intended for"! Definitively had to bit my tongue!
{1.} Maggie spayed and hernia fix-- $200
{2.} New modem-- $100
{3.} New microwave-- $200
{4.} New fence-- $100
{5.} Manual work and getting chewed out by neighbor-- $Headache
