How Horrible is My Life

So, yesterday I got a call from one of my softball buddies asking and I quote, " Wanna getaway." I wasn't sure if I wanted to or not then he said it was for a tournament in Vegas this weekend. So, I said "Hell yeah." Tha was the good part. Here is where the shiat happens.

Last night I booked my airline and rental car, didn't need hotel room. After leaving my parentals pad last night, with kids and wife in tow, my trucks transmission started to slip. It just wasn't shifting correctly and at a couple of points wouldn't get out of first gear. I was pissed, but figured it maybe due to me not warming it up or something. So, this morning I was heading out of the house to drop off my lil' one and then head to work when it happend again. Last night wasn't too bad cuz it was 11:30, but this morning was on the expressway in morning traffic. I was driving down the expressway at 30 miles an hour with my truck red lining just trying to get to the next turnoff. After being told I was #1 by a few drivers I pretty much walked the truck to the day care. From there I walked the truck again to the transmission shop. Luckily, both of those places were not to far.

I then had to call the wife, dreaded doing, to have her pick me up so I could drop her and my other daughter off. Then after driving to work, in my wife's car, her car starts to act up. What the hell is going on here? Do my cars know that I just got my work bonus or something? Did the mechanics find out an sabatoge my cars? And why the hell does this have to happen the morning after I buy my Vegas tickets? Oh the humanity. I think it is time for my daily "FUKITOL" pill.
