Murphy, that very unwanted 4th cousin twice removed, has decided to move into the our household. Here is a list of the havoc he has created in a week' time with financial, physical and stressful consequences:
1. Very nasty week at work for CJ
2. Sick Madds - a cold, croup, ear, viral thing - Mommy has to miss work during a very crucial meeting
3. Sick Nai Nai - strep with a capital S. - Daddy finds himself doing sick duty
4. ER visit for Nai Nai - as a result of complications from #3
5. Leaking upstairs toilet plumbing
6. A waterfall of poopy water and drywall through the kitchen ceiling
7. An after hours plumber' visit that results in a 1 ft x 2 ft hole in the kitchen ceiling
8. Dealing with Insurance Adjusters - the leaking toilet doesn't qualify, the hole in the ceiling does . . .
9. Breast Pump part #3 doesn't work, resulting in the purchase of Pump #3
10. Sick Mommy - not sure if it is the result of #2 or #3. Mommy is praying it is #2.
11. The other upstairs toilet and the refrigerater hose going at exactly the same moment. Really! Imagine sitting at the kitchen table as water starts shooting every where and then this loud groaing sound from the pipes. Uuggghhhh! Time to call the plumber again and the appliance repair man. Can we survive without an icemaker and toilets until payday??
Nikki, Can I move to Australia with you?

Were hoping #10 is due to #2 not #3. Or something like that.... I don't think Nai-Nai had just strep with a capital S, I think it was STREP with some naughty words thrown in for kicks and giggles. And of course you can move to Australia with me. Granted, I'm pretty sure they have toilets, ickies, and breast pumps there too.
Yeah!! I found your blog. I guess I'll have to keep up with you through your blog, instead of walking down the street!
That Maddie just melts my heart. What a precious little angel you have.
Man, I thought it just came in threes! Guess I better start paying better attention.;) Chin up...it'll either get better or you'll get sick enough you don't care. heh That's the mommy curse.
Well crap! I see I'm over a month late on this post...just ignore me. It works for my kids.
