Default Today just isn't my freakin day!

If today got any worse, I would need to just kill myself!..I bought a NEW car with that cash for clunkers program...a slick Dodge Charger Daytona with the Hemi and all the bells...Competition orange and black stripes. Kinda old school looking....wife took it in to work and gets freakin T-Boned by someone with no insurance....less than 500 miles on it.....
Worse yet...got a call from my Mom....86 years old...Dads in the hospital with congestive heart failure...89 years old...they sent him home because there is nothing else they can do for him.....****....just not a good day!

Sorry to hear about your misfortune. It sounds like your wife didn't get hurt. That is a good thing. If possible, make the most of the time your Dad has.
