Bad luck or what!

I haven't written anything for a long time. I was hoping that maybe by some chance my luck had changed. Not so. We went to Iggie's for dinner and guess who didn't get any coleslaw. It was suppose to come with my dinner. They also forgot to get my take home container. They gave Amy hers. I was quite upset. It was like they didn't see or hear me. Then we went to KFC and again I ordered mashed potatoes and gravy and coleslaw as sides. I got two coleslaws. Gary ordered the same as me and he got potatoe wedges and coleslaw. They were nice enough to give us some mashed potatoes on the side. This was only after they wouldn't honor the free grilled chicken dinner that we had coupons for. Then to top it all off today we got hit by a tire while driving on state road 6. Yes, a tire came off of a fellows pickup that was driving in the opposite lane and of course it had to happen right when we were passing. You can only imagine how you would feel if you saw a tire rolling at you in your lane. We couldn't miss it because we had a cement barrier on one side and on coming traffic in the other lane. We would have hit the fellow who the tire belonged to if we had swerved into the other lane to miss it. It hit us so hard that it bent the rim of his tire in half. It did a lot of damage to our truck. Gary has waited so long to get a diesel truck and now this. On top of that the air bag should have gone off but no it didn't. It was good that it didn't but it should have. We tired to call Brendon to give us a ride home but he was working in his yard and didn't hear the phone. We were able to get a hold of Amy and she came and picked us up only after we were stuck at the Little Acorn Drive Inn and I had put our stuff on the lawn in an ant hill. Everything we had with us had ants on it. We also had Sydney with us so she had to ride in the tow truck also. Where our truck is I don't know because we can't find an address of the the place that towed it. We are all alive and there is a lot to be thankful for but boy it would be nice to not have to go through anymore. We were suppose to go see the Spiral Jetti for Mother's Day and that requires a four wheel drive which now we do not have so that is out of the question. Also the people that we were going to go with got in a car wreck today as well. That is the only car that they have that runs. Better stay clear of us. I keep telling myself that good things happen to us. It isn't working. The dental insurance also got messed up and thought Gary was my child not my husband. I have spent, I don't know, how many hours trying to get that straightened out. I still have to fax one more thing that I have already faxed them before. They also told me that Gary wasn't covered on this insurance. I took it out just for him. I told them to please not tell me that. I couldn't take anymore. I do have good luck, I do have good luck, I do have good luck. Maybe if I say it long enough and enough times it will happen.
