Have you ever?

  Have you ever had one of those days when you wished you could crawl back in bed, maybe stay there? Well I did a couple of weeks ago. We were having a new furnace installed, the guy said I'll have it finished today, that didn't happen some part he needed he didn't have. The new high tech heaters they have now days are good, they keep the house warm, but from my knees to my toes, Oh yeah, they were froze!
  Around five in the afternoon my granddaughter Cora calls and ask to spend the night. I said sure I'll pick you up in an hour. Leaving the house I hear a noise which I figured was the snow built up in the tire well. Driving down the road about two miles, I hear a noise that sounded like a gun going off. The car starts bouncing around, the tire blew. A man stopped to help me, and he went home to get his air compressor to blow the tire up. I said it blew, but he tried to air the tire up anyway, the air compressor would not work it was froze up. He finally decided to change the tire but he could not get it to come off the car. He kicked it, hit it with a hammer and kicked it some more, but it did not budge. I said I'll call my son-in-law he changes tractor tires all the time he can get it off. When my son-in-law arrived he kicked the tire once and it came right off. When he put the spare on he said go straight home and I will follow you. When we arrived home he tells me the spare was almost flat too. It was now eight o'clock.
   When my husband finally got home from driving semi for the week, he went to pick up my granddaughter.
So I thought I can get some laundry started. I washed a load of clothes and put them in the dryer. The dryer ran and ran and ran, they never dried. The heating element went out in the dryer.
   So I really do believe in Murphy's Law: "Whatever can go wrong, will go wrong." It happens all the time to me, but then if I didn't have bad luck, I'd have no luck at all!
