« Power on, Wayne. | Main | Vacation, all he ever wanted. »
Saturday, July 23
Here we are.

We have arrived on vacation. As we were starting the remaining car to leave town, the tree people AND the phone guy showed up. We have phone service (important for the house alarm) and no more tree. All that's left is the lifeless body of the Busy Van II and we still need to get the cable put back on the house.

Aye, but a fresh hell awaited us as we now have transmission trouble in our only remaining vehicle. More later.

When it rains it pours, eh? Please, go get drunk. It will do you more good than I can tell.

I agree you need a drink after all that happen.

We're leaving in the morning for a road trip vacation.

This is not what I wanted to read! ;)

You've had way more bad luck than anyone deserves. Here's hoping it ends now, and only good times await you on your vacation!

What a total bummer. Hang in there--it will all get fixed.

Oh my - I'm glad to hear that no one got hurt and that everything is getting squared away.

Glad to hear that the tree is gone. That's awful about the transmission, though.

If you want to start a 'Busy Vacation' tip jar using PayPal or something, I'll add more than my 2 cents worth...good grief, you guys are due a break!!

"more later?"

I'm almost out of popcorn.

I hope you have a wonderful vacation. I think you have quite a bit to recover from considering recent events.

I hope you're having nice weather.

You'll look back on this experience some day and laugh and laugh and laugh.... Sure you will.

Wish you were close enough -- you could borrow my car. For weeks.

Mark... You are too funny! At least this is intermission and we can all go to the snack bar for a refill...

Good luck, Busy Mom! I bet you are wondering what in the world you ever did to incur such wrath...oh, wait...you have a Starbucks in your Target!!

Posted by: Candace | July 24, 2005 9:38 AM

Jeez, Busy Mom, you're nearing your limit of things that could go wrong.

Posted by: Amy Steier | July 24, 2005 1:51 PM

I thought bad things came in threes. What number are you on, 14 or so?

Posted by: Cori | July 24, 2005 1:57 PM

Oh geez...that hardly seems fair. I hope it's not bad transmission trouble (altho I doubt there's any GOOD transmission trouble.)

Posted by: Tammy | July 24, 2005 2:13 PM

Oh No!!!

Posted by: Busy Little Bee | July 24, 2005 5:22 PM

Good lord woman!! You must have the worst luck EVER! I hope your vacation goes well!
