Seriously?

In the last few days I have had 3 things BREAK! Saturday, I am flying down the highway at 70 mph when I see my taillight HANGING off my car...ok ok more like flapping in the breeze. I get out, tape it back on (no, I'm not kidding!), and continue on my journey. Find out today, that sucker will cost me $120!!!! YAY! Wake up today and no coffee. You guessed it...our free, 3 year old Gevalia coffee maker has bit the dust. GOOD RIDDANCE--could you at least give me ONE cup and THEN die? Fine, I'll be a caffeineless brat and set off to buy one. I went out and got a cuter, more compact version with a timer, and it's white, to match all our other appliances, big and small. Great!!!!!! Go to work, call home for an address (I shop for others online while I work-lol!) and Terry, the not-so-handy man tells me the dishwasher isn't working. Ok, now I've had it. Last month our Mickey Mouse toaster, this month my tail light, coffee maker and NOW the dishwasher? I feel like I live in a third world country....tape on my car, no coffee, washing dishes by hand. I'm off to find my "Aunt Jemima" headwrap so I can get to work. Anyone know how to unclog a dishwasher drain?
