bad luck

So lately it feels like our luck has been pretty bad. please excuse this post, for, it may sound like i am complaining...but honestly we are pretty done with this stuff happening and try to stay positive and humorous about it but i wanted to document it so we can read back on it and think to ourselves- whew! so glad that is over!
1. Caylinn's right thumb got burned on the outside of our stove and our housing maintenance people claim that it is normal for stoves to get hot enough for a person to be able to get a 3rd degree burn on them for touching the outside of it. needless to say- that didn't float with us and we are in a battle with them to get it fixed so it doesn't happen again....and they had the nerve to try and blame it on bad parenting skills...right, it would be one thing if she had burned it on the inside of the stove and i hadn't tried to get her away but, hello, the outside of an oven should be cool to the touch.....
2. Caylinn got bitten by our cat. it cut through the skin and we had to get her on antibiotics. thankfully that is completely healed now.
3. our van keeps having "problems"- first it was the wiper blades, then it was the back signal light going out, and then our front right tire went completely flat and is now completely out of use until we get our tax return in to purchase new tires. a couple days before the tire went flat i had filled the gas tank which is now useless because i can't drive the van with a flat tire.
3. since we were a one car family LaVon was helping out in the afternoon's by riding his bike to and from work so i could have the car to do school pick up and drop off for Cyle. on Friday, LaVon went to get his bike and his back bike tire was completely flat because a piece of metal had poked through his whole entire bike tire...so now we don't even have that to help out while we are a one car family.
4. our tax return date keeps getting changed and we could really use the extra money- it is so funny how they are so quick to take our money away but so slow to get it back to us.....
5. our last big thing that we barely escaped by the skin of our teeth was LaVon's computer dying on him....luckily that one didn't last for too long and it just took the touch of Joy's magical finger.
all in all these might seem like minimal things to other people but they are our trials and struggles right now and they seem to never end or at least not soon. this month has been full of bad luck and I am so done with it. hopefully March will be a better month for us. I know when this is all done we will be laughing about it all and we will be that much stronger as a family but right now- it sucks!
