Black October....& November?

Ok so we've had a string of bad luck this last month. I was hoping it would end with October but seeing as today is November 1st apparently it hasn't. It started with the dishwasher breaking. Let's see, I think that was around $300 post warranty. Then the after our heater was inspected (I kept having that feeling to get it inspected thankfully before we turned it on) it turned out our heating exchange was cracked (ie carbon monoxide leaking point). Since it's 13 yrs old we opted to go ahead and get the whole thing replaced. Fortunately a guy in our ward was able to help us out on that one and it only set us back $2100. Today, while visiting the local Nature Center we decided to go on a little hike with the kids. Shortly after we started our hike our mini-van was broken into, the window smashed and my purse stolen. There was only $25 in it (sucks for them). I froze all of the accounts but all of my addresses and the birthdays that I had finally written down for the family were all in there. Could everyone please send me all of your family members birthdays again ;). Thanks. We'll see how much this sets us back but since our deductible is $500 I suspect that it will be at least that to replace the window. What a pain! Let's hope that this is the end of our Black Month. Oh, I almost forgot Andrew racing his scooter down our steep driveway last weekend and knocking part of his front tooth out. We'll see what that is to get it repaired.
