The week from hell that just won't end...

At this point I'm almost afraid to ask 'what else can possibly happen?'. It just keeps getting worse and worse. For the past seven days, one shitty thing after another keeps piling up... every event worse than the one before. What has happened? Here's the rundown...

  • Wednesday- Fall down the steps into the family room (5 hardwood steps at that) while holding baby Kole. Thanks to my superman 'save the baby' contorting in midair, Kole was fine (only a little shaken up). My wrist was a little tweaked for a couple days and will still throb occasionally.
  • Thursday-Get pulled over and get a BS ticket. I was profiled... apparently they were pulling over EVERYONE blowing through that crosswalk. Damn-it!!! No really, I seriously thought that school crosswalks were only valid during the school year. Who knew? Besides, grown ass men should know how to cross the street without walking out in front of cars.
  • Friday- Kole gets sick... Annie won't be able to go camping. Which I'm sure sucked for her more than us, but we really did miss her Saturday on our father's day camp out.
  • Saturday- Get pulled over again. Yes seriously. Thankfully no ticket that time... had a break light out. How do they expect you to know that? When are you ever behind your car when you're break lights are on?
  • Sunday- Fall down the steps again! Seriously... I wish I were kidding. Although thankfully this time I did not completely bust my ass. I actually just surfed down 4 steps wildly out of control until I managed to catch myself, skinning the hell out of my elbow in the process. Full of grace I tell ya.
  • Monday- Just when I thought the week couldn't get any worse, we found out today that a good family friend of ours is very ill. He was recently diagnosed with cancer and the prognosis isn't all that great. We're hoping for the best and praying he'll come through okay.

So after all of this... and a few other things as well I am teetering dangerously close to having a nervous break down. Add to that that my team has gone 1-4 on the road, not even baseball can lift my spirits at the moment. Rather than jinx myself by saying things can't get any worse, because I know there are worse things in life, I'll just settle by saying I hope that they get better soon. I don't know how much more bad luck I can take.
