Why in the world did it have to be now?

That always happens like for example we had some money put back to save for a new freezer and then right when we had a little bit more to go my hubby went and hit a deer and there went all of the money to fix the car. and then we had some money saved up again and our heat bill came and took all of our savings again. We cannot never get ahead. Always something happens to mess it up.

I hear you things always seem to happen at the worst times. It has been very cold here. We are breaking records with the bitter cold temperatures we have been having. I hope you get it fixed fast and that your landlord is on the ball. I am not sure where you are from but I am in Canada and they say we could expect these cold temps to last till the end of Feb. Keep warm!

I don't know why but it ALWAYS happens that way to us. My husband hit a deer with my car. Saved the money to get it fixed and the autobody shop lost the estimate, then ordered the parts and said it would take 2 weeks til they could get me in. By this time, it had already been a month and I was without a car. Couldn't get a rental until the car was to be in the shop. Got my car back and not 2 days later my husband breaks his truck. His truck isn't old but it sure as heck seems to be a lemon. Since we've had it we've had to put a new engine in it. Then this time the radiator got a hole in it and the power steering pump went whacky and sprayed oil all over the engine. The truck kept overheating and we had to have it towed home. About 350.00 later we are fixed but can it all came at the worst time where 350.00 was a lot of money. Good news is my husband is a heavy equipment mechanic so we always have the tools to fix any problem that comes along so we don't pay for labor--just the parts. Bad things always happen at once :(

I hate to say it but you have been visited by the Sh** Fairies. They are the ones that when things are going realitively smooth to muck it all up. Everything and anything that can go wrong will when they strike. They delight in causing people to go "Oh Sh**" You are not alone in this, they will strike anyone so long as they can cause them problems. I do hope it gets warmer for you and that the furance is fixed. It is too cold to be without that. Keep after the landlord to get it fixed. You can't be without it right now, especially not with a baby in the house.

BRRRR. It was that cold way up there? -30 degrees? I hope you can get things fixed. I have never been in weather that cold. The coldest it has been down here is about -20. That was a few years back. Thanks for reminding me why I live in the lower peninsula. Everybody keeps saying that there is global warming going on. Maybe it is only during the summer. I will say a prayer for you.

Yes, bad things always happen at the wrong time. I was on my way to the bank one morning. i was driving my 1997, oldsmobile cutlass supreme. I had my three children with me too. Ages 5, 3, and 8 months old. I was in the middle of the highway when all of a sudden my car cut off. i'm like what in the world is going on. and the car wouldn't start. i called my grandmother to pick up the kids, and i had to ask some guys to push my car out of the high way. i called my hubby from work to meet me where the car was. i wouldn't of been so stressed if we had another car, but it was the only one that we had at the time. come to find out the car's motor locked down. and there was nothing we could do about it. i had to by a crappy $250 van, until my taxes come in. because all i had was his paycheck to get anything with.

I agree with you. Life seems to throw problems at us when we really cant handle it. I think this happens for some weird reason like we are being tested. I know I have been in situations that seemed like it was the end for me but I always pulled through. Life has always played curel little jokes on me so now Im pretty much use to anything that comes up. If I had no worries at all Id probably die of boredom. I hope all works out for your family but hanging there it will get fixed.

I know how it is. It's Murphy's Law, what can go wrong will go wrong. I'm having the same kind of week so far, so, I know where you're coming from. For us, it always seems that when we save a little bit of money, something always comes up, and we're broke again. This week, it's our pets. One dog needed an operation, another one, who is just visiting (he's a rescue), hurt his leg, and is at the vet right now. Will probably cost another bunch of money we don't have. So, you're not alone. We just try to do the best we can with what we have. I hope things get better for you.

I guess it is because if it is not now then it cannot be any time else....simple...

Doesn't life always seem that way? It seems like when one thing happens a series of events just as bad follows suit. Nothing like kicking you when you are down. I had some pretty bad experiences in the past 2 years to make me grateful when life goes as planned. For example it was may of 2005 when I found out I was pregnant with my son we were over joyed as we had been trying for likr 7 months to get pregnant. A week later my husband got into a bad car accident and hit a tree head on going 35 mph he broke his leg really bad so bad they had to send him to a mojor trauma hospital in downtown cleveland. I then had to keep working even though my plan was after finding out about the pregnancy that I was going to quit my job and stay home with our then 2 1/2 y/o daughter. 6 months later his job that he had fired him because he hadnt returned to work yet and it was a non work related injury but he couldn't go back yet as he was just learning to walk again. He pushed himself to walk before time and tried to go back to his work but they let him go anyways. He then had to go out and find another job making a whole lot less than he was originally making. Then near the end of my pregnancy I became so sick with pneumonia that they had to hospitalize me. My husband didnt have anyone to watch our daughter so he stayed home with her and would visit me at the hospital. Then his job fired him again for missing so much work. I finally had the baby and had such a hard time giving birth that I hemmoraged really bad. Not only was I in bad shape but then we also found out the baby had fluid in his kidneys. Seven weeks later my son became so sick with RSV that he stopped breathing and he was admitted into the intensive care unit also in cleveland. We've had a few years of bad luck so I know whats its like to be in a bad spot and have things just get worse. My life is starting to turn around now and I hope yours does too best of luck to you!

what annoys me with bad timming is my period. Hope i won't make people uncomfterble but i know a lot of people will relate. every time i go on holliday's it happens. i wasn't suposed to have it for 2 weeks. i went to disney world and didn't bring anything with me and it started in the park.
