You Have Got To Be Kidding Me

This week I discovered my two year old son has "no issue" with fishing items from the toilet or fulling a cup for a little drink....first it was an expedition to retrieve gum...the second time he was brushing his teeth (we let him pretend) and was carrying a cup, which he dipped into the bowl to refill. Makes sense I guess since he is too short to run the taps...but SERIOUSLY!

Time for a toilet lock.....

Toronto was treated to a monster of a storm last night. It was a lightning show like no other. MY wife and I sat on the couch and watched the front roll in. At one point the thunder clap was so loud it felt like the house shook. Didn't help that we were watching True Blood (HBO's new Vampire series) and it was an intense episode. The severe rain and the result inside out home got me thinking about the last 30 days....

Have you ever felt like the world was against you? That your luck had suddenly run out? IT seems as of late our family is on one of those streaks....The ceiling in our living room has started leaking during rainstorms, main light fixture in our kitchen blew and is beyond repair, garbage disposal stopped working, cost $124 to find out there is a wiring issue (somewhere buried in the walls), Noah runs into a play structure and splits his lip, gums and knocks a tooth loose, Hannah gets stung repeatedly by a bee in the palm of her hand, our basement gets flooded a second time in 12 months (if we claim it our insurance company will cancel our policy), While backing up my Macbook, I manage to delete 3000 images and end up having to buy a new Macbook ....on and on it goes, a myriad of coincidental events that begin to make one truly mad. This morning I go to put my coffee in the cup holder of my car...one side simply falls off. Are you F*#kin' kidding me. This is the last straw....

Dear God, whatever we did to piss you off, we are deeply sorry and would appreciate some slight relief from this deluge of disasters both physical and financial.

sincerely the Arkell family
