    Default I'm Gonna Shoot Me a Murphy!!!!!

    During this month, Murphy has decided that we needed to repair our entire shower...had to have it all retiled b/c it had been leaking & causing some water damage.....then he decided that we needed to reapair all of the surrounding walls & studs b/c the water damage was extensive...then he decided that we needed to repair the boy's closet b/c the water damage was there as well. Then......Murphy thought it would be funny to posess our 2 stupid huskies to tear our orange tree out of the ground on Easter Sunday & chew the roots to shreds(we had planted the tree 2 months prior)..........next he decided that he was going to play a game called "Where is the leak" & our only vehicle is leaking antifreeze like crazy & we can't find the stupid leak.....He decided that he wanted to play some more & thought that it would be a cool idea to break a water pipe in the attic right above the kitchen. This Sunday morning, I felt this water dripping & looked up & it was coming from around the kitchen light fixture....we had to call a plumber. The plumber came by & fixed the leak & while doing so, put a hole in our kitchen ceiling while Murphy just sat back on his fat A** & laughed himself silly - I hate that guy!....when all was said & done, we were told that we needed to replace the plumbing b/c it would only get worse...not to mention that we also have to replace the ceing b/c of the water damage.So now as Murphy is watching all of the chaos that he has created, he is ROFLHAO...so I grabbed my gun & he took off......for now anyway

    Hey, you chased him over here. I should have read this post before I posted. I'd have known to duck.

    Yep, it does, but if we were to file a claim, our rates would go up & we can't afford anymore hits - forgot to add that Murphy also wispered in the bank's ear & said that we needed to pay a shortage on our mortgage b/c of the "projected cost of insurance" would be more this year....& he rubbed his warty hands with glee as we had to shell out over $500 to cover the shortage...& even then, our monthly payments are going up $26 a month....what a jerk....I hope he gets hit with a truck.

    Oh, no! Don't wish that on the poor truck driver!

    I hope Murphy has left the building and doesn't come back to visit you again.
