I'm going to pull my hair out. Today is costing me a small fortune. I think I'll go back to bed!

I hear you! I doubt my problem this weekend was as bad as what you are dealing with. We went to Corpus Christi to help my FIL find a house. He paid for everything and it seemed like it would be a nice weekend - nope! I had a huge chunk of rubber fly off of my tire about 2 hours into our trip up there. Only, we didn't know it and drove for 3 more hours (bad traffic and weather!). The next morning my FIL saw it. So, a trip to a tire place and $600 later I have new tires! I could have just replaced the one tire, but we planned on replacing them all by the end of the year as I have 54k miles on them (original tires). I wanted them to match and for one to not have uneven wear, so it just made sense to do it now. A free weekend turned out quite expensive!

Ouch! But is does make more sense to replace them all at once, or at least in pairs.

The garage door broke this weekend and I'm not calling anyone - just kind of hoping it'll fix itself :rolleyes:. Then the main pool pump went out yesterday. This morning, I call a repair guy about the pump and have been waiting all day (it's nearing 5pm, he was supposed to be here "this afternoon"). The housekeeper got here about 2pm and went to vacuum, but my Dyson has crapped out. Turns out there is some filter that we were supposed to be cleaning all along and since we didn't (helps to read the manual, I suppose) it looks like we may have burnt the motor up.

All this and the broken window I have yet to replace and the toilet flusher thingy... it is Tuesday yet? Sigh...

Oh... and I woke up Saturday morning to find that we had no internet service. At least 8 hours of no service and still no reasonable explainations.

MAN! I thought things were supposed to break in 3's - you are way beyond that!

Good grief!! I thought I had a crazy morning, but now I know I have nothing to complain about.
