We will save you the wait for the annual family newsletter we usually share in December. Here is our 2009 so far:
January: Everyone in the family gets sick. (This was the easy trial)
February: All appliances break down at the same time = very expensive repairs!!! Water leak in kitchen destroys new flooring.
March: Ben gets car totaled by a woman running a red light. We end up buying a lemon to replace it and it sucks up all our money.
April: Ben almost loses his job and we lose our baby after 3 months of pregnancy. (Not to mention a few other personal issues we can't list here.)
May: (you probably won't believe this one...) Tanya discovers a man dressed in black hiding in our garage at 11pm. Tanya screams at him to "Get OUT!" and then Ben chases the man down the street (with barefeet) into the darkness and returns 15 minutes later empty handed. Police show up 2 hours later to investigate and search the neighborhood hoping to still find the mystery man dressed in black. (a little late guys!...but thanks anyway!)
So... is this a cursed 2009 or a rather especially exciting one??? Should I be scared for June?
