My momma always said bad things always come in threes. She wasn't superstitious. She was being funny. There were three of us in the family, mom, dad, and me. We went everywhere together.
I however, have had a threesome this week....
1) My car's power steering went out on Saturday while I was doing errands. The newspapers for recycling are still in the back, but I digress. The power steering problem was not as expensive as I feared. However, while they were looking at my car, it seems they noticed I need a whole new engine. Yep. They can't say whether it will give out on my way home, or in six months with regular use. My husband let me drive it home (with him following me), but does not want me to drive it until it is fixed. Yes, as expensive as a new motor is, we can't afford another car, so we will have to nurse this one along....
2) My dishwasher broke on Saturday. My husband was able to fix it however, so that isn't so bad.
3) My refrigerator broke. I don't know how long it wasn't working right, but my guess would be since Saturday, since that seems to have been...Well, anyway, I found out Tuesday night when I go to pour a glass of milk, about half a gallon with an excellent date, and it has the consistency of cottage cheese!
3a) So, of course, Wednesday, the repairman needs it entirely shut down to fix it, and I have to throw away food from the fridge and freezer, which stinks, because I hate being wasteful. I had to throw them out however. Doctor pills and prescriptions for food poisoning cost more than the food did....Not going to risk it.
As for bad things coming in three, I really don't mean it. My favorite thing (if you could call them a "thing") in the whole world come in three: I'll give you three guesses. Enjoy this picture while you think.
Did you guess The Holy Trinity? Good for you! Awesome!
The Holy Trinity is one constant that will never change or break down. And God has blessed us so that these things are able to be fixed, and we do have the funds to do it. Thank you God.
1 Thessalonians 5:18-19 "....give thanks in all circumstances, for this is God's will for you in Christ Jesus. Do not put out the Spirit's fire;"
It has been an inconvenient week, but I still have a lot to be thankful for....

Your mom sounds funny. Have to say I laughed when you said you had a threesome this week. And the thought of curdled milk makes me nauseated. Bleh!
wow, that's three times you weirded me out today. Your threesome made me to have a threesome of you weirding me out ... TWSS
Helen had a threesome. Heh heh.
I just want you to know that my brain is not working that quickly today and I did NOT think the things these other people did when you mentioned threesome. (On any other day, yes, but today, no.)
I'd curl up and die if my dishwasher broke. I hate doing dishes.
I was all set to respond to your threesome sentence with "That's what she said!"
and then you went on to wrap up the post with the Holy Trinity and I felt ashamed of my terrible unspiritual soul...
and then I read the other commenters. Since they crossed that line ahead of me, all I can say is
THAT'S WHAT SHE SAID!!!!
