It has been a couple of days since the "trifecta" was completed but just wanted to share.
A couple of weeks ago DH left on another work up for an upcoming 9 month deployment set to start this summer.
1) Last week, DD breaks wrist at skating fundraiser for DS's school. We spend the night at the ER (had to sedate to set etc)... neighbors stayed at my home while my other 3 kids slept
2) Sunday Morning, Flat tire right as we are getting ready to leave for church and annual program for kids (after services which I am in charge of), put spare on, sort of late
3) Sunday Afternoon, After 2 hour wait at COSTCO to get tire fixed (with 4 kids, who were great), ended up in my very first car accident involving a car that decided at the last minute to make a left turn in front of me! We are all okay, but what luck.
So now, I am dealing with insurance stuff, taking DD to ortho appts at the military hospital which takes FOREVER (for her wrist) and everything else while DH is out to sea. Thankfully, he comes home this weekend for a couple of weeks and then out for another month or so... I am thinking that we've taken care of a lot of "stuff" now so maybe the 9 month deployment will be less exciting. My In Laws live less than an hour away and my parents live about 3 hours away but unfortunately, none of them have been any help/support during any emergency we have experienced over the years (hurricane evacs, hospitalization of toddler etc) so I do not expect that to change.
I did get a massage yesterday and feel better this morning. Going car seat shopping today to replace the three that were being in the accident. DD was in a Monterrey but the accident was no severe so I am not replacing it.
Hope nothing else "goes wrong", there have been a few more minor hassles since Sunday (strong winds blew a branch down which cut off our phone/cable/internet line, downstairs toilet overflowed etc, not big stuff.) Looking forward to better days.
