Wait. Really???

And the hits just keep on coming.  So...we all know about the things happen in 3's school of thinking right?  You know, good and bad things happen in 3's?  Well, I will be honest, I was kind of wondering what was going to be our "third thing" after the flood and fire alarm--a nagging little thought in the back of my mind.  But I thought since it was February that maybe we were in the clear...

And then our computer died yesterday.

The absolute clincher though is that after all these crazy near-misses with the flood and fire alarm we decided we really needed to buy an external hard drive to back everything up in case something catastrophic did happen and we lost all our stuff on there. So Brody ordered the external hard drive and it came yesterday. Yesterday. As in, the exact day and for all I know the very hour it died.  Literally, a day late and a dollar short.  Isn't that just kind of a low blow by the universe? Like, really??? Something that ironically cruel doesn't really happen in real life does it?

Apparently, it does.

We aren't sure exactly what happened to the computer, it just wasn't on when Brody got home yesterday and with all his tech-savvy wizardry, he couldn't get it to turn on. We're hoping it was the power something (I can't remember the technical name for it) and that it didn't spark and fry everything when it went out, but we have no way of knowing for sure right now.  We may have lost nothing, but we also may have lost it all.

In the meantime, I just have to laugh at this point and think about baby girl because she is the ray of sunshine piercing through our little black rain-cloud.
