Murphy? Who's Murphy? Ah... Murphy's Law. According to Wikipedia, Murphy's Law is the western adage that if anything can go wrong, it will. So why has Murphy moved into our house? Who knows. All I know is he needs to move out! About the end of July, we were very excited to be 1 payment away from no car payments. So after the realization that we would be debt-free (except for the house), the following has happened between July & now:1) Snickers (the dog) has an emergency visit to the vet; 2) Gas leak - silver lining is we didn't turn any lights on in the basement; 3) 2006 tax bill - somewhere in the midst of having twins & moving, we missed paperwork on our taxes which resulted in the unexpected bill - no silver lining here; 4) Snickers is back to the vet for annual, so not cheap, shots; 5) Jeep needs work - silver lining (for Kristin) is we traded the Jeep in & got a minivan. I think there's a silver lining for Chris here too in that he now drives the Magnum (read air conditioning & radio) but downside is we're back to a car payment; 6) Water leak in the basement - turns out to actually be a hole in a pipe in the 1/2 bath that results in water dripping down the pipe & leaking through the floor into the basement. So here you get to see what our 1/2 bath looks like without a wall since Chris ripped it out last night. Why do a crazy thing like that? Well... water leak brings mold which now brings a new piece of drywall & a new sink since the vanity also molded. Silver lining is that Chris is handy & can do this all himself :)
