Fix one problem and receive three more?

[Kandy-Sugar]

Sorry about the title. XD

Does it ever feel like as soon as you fix one problem three more pile up?

It's quite annoying really.

We just had our car blow up on the holidays and as soon as we got a brand new one and thought all our problems were solved, more shit happens.

It's not fair! I tell you this, I am not having any kids in this lifetime when I can't even control my own life and it's problems. >.<

We had our massage chair delievered and straight away it breaks.

We had our new car for THREE days and some idiot rams us up the arse!

WHY COULDN'T THEY DO IT TO ANY OF OUR OTHER CARS THAT WERE ALL SECOND HAND AND WE COULDN'T GIVE A SHIT IF THERE WAS A TINY SCRATCH!!! THEY JUST HAD TO DO IT TO THE BRAND NEW CAR!!! =0

It's not that we can't handle the problems or fix them, it's just that we never seem to get a break. As soon as things feel like their smooth sailing we just know something bad is waiting around the corner.

Not that we're completely negative every day of our lives and are waiting for something bad to happen. I don't mean to sound like that, it's just every now and then we'll be like, 'Wow things are going great. Hope nothing bad happens anytime soon to ruin it. >.<'

Some people would say, 'Well it gets boring if things are too perfect.'

I feel like saying, 'Screw you. I'd love to just sit at home and get on with things peacefully, knowing that the only things I have to think about are the regular bills and such.'

Steve and I already work full time and our only free time together is the weekends. Do you really think I want to waste it sorting out boring problems that must be fixed?

I want to enjoy my time off and relax with Steve.

So what about you?

Are things almost smooth sailing for you?

Or do they get shaky quite often?

I sort of know the feeling. You fix one thing, and it seems like more problems come to replace what you just fixed. It's frusterating and it can seem like there is no end.

I would ask for outside help. Maybe your or Steve's parents? Not necessarily financial help, but just moral support can go along way.

And from past experiences, I'd sort these problems out as soon as possible and not let them slide. I have let problems slide in the past and they just kept getting bigger and bigger until they became way out of proportion. But do take your breaks from your problems and not spend the entire weekend trying to sort things out

Things get shaky a lot since I started college...XD

I mean I have a paper I have to write, I write it out, feeling good about it, and then I go to print it out and the printers are down...and then even worse the server is down so I can't email it to my professors. So I have to go explain it. And look dirty at people who brought their own printers...xD

Or I want to go eat...but there's a really long line and I really have stuff to do so I just go get a pop tart, but wait the machines stuck so I have to buy three pop tarts instead of the one I wanted...and then I eat all three pack and I get sick...

But it does keep life interesting...but that's not to say I want it to be interesting in that way either.

No. NeverI dont think I can ever have a peaceful life, there's always something, be it my washing machine or some cunt of a man.

Like, I'd JUST paid my credit card off and I was like, woohoo, freeeeeeeedom, then my washer broke and it was like, great. More fucking money.

Technology never runs smoothly for us in our household. An internet router recently stopped working, so I went out to buy a replacement. What can possible go wrong here with a simple replacement, I thought. It turned out later when we tried to set it up that it came with a disc that the laptops had trouble reading, and the router itself was the wrong type and therefore incompatible for us. That was sort of my fault of course, but it pissed me off nonetheless. I had to go through the trouble of getting my money back and find a compatible replacement.

I've also experienced electronic misfortunes when it came to homework and major assignments. There was one time when I was away on holiday and therefore overdue to hand an assignment in. I quickly went about doing it on a Word document and then post it to my teacher via the college's email system. The next day, I realised that the document wasn't attached properly (despite the fact that I'm sure it was) and that peeved my teacher off. This sort of thing happened a few times now, so I've mainly stopped using the email system.

NO

Like things with my ex. When he was here under a Work Permit and living here, we started about 6 months before it expired, to start work on getting him a second, more permanent liveable Work Permit. PLENTY of time, you'd think?

During that time, we spent the money we needed to get it sorted, gathered all documents together, and nearer the end, they finally tell us.... oh, well you need a 40 hour job otherwise you can't get it (he was working part time atm).

It's like... fuck, why tell us now when we've spent 1900$ and could have either not bothered, and tried something else entirely different?

Then they said we could have a refund.. and then two weeks later said we couldn't because he was going home because of his back.. no, he was going home because his visa expired, fuckers.

...now I'm taking them to court to get that money back. But knowing me, it won't go through or more complications or.. someshit...

This is the story of our journey. I've learned to accept it. We're being tested to see just how strong we are. Instead of being sad when we get 3 more problems, I now say bring it on. These are our obstacles during life that we as a family must overcome, and we've been doing that since the early 90's. It seems always the case for us. Fix one problem, receive 3 more. I'm not shocked anymore.

I'm just going along with the ride to see where it takes me, but that's only for now. Eventually I'm gonna grab the wheel and drive the car myself. But then it'll break, and add a problem to make it 4.
