Korean Saying

Rebekah took the photos of Huckleberry after she made a bed for him

in their bathroom last night (I'm still not for indoor pets :)

The Koreans have a saying that bad things come in threes and so I ask you, do these count for today?

1. Carpet layer shows up to lay the carpet on the middle layer and learns that the cement pad has a cap on it and refuses to lay the carpet until all the paint (that was sprayed Saturday) is peeled off the cement floor. (He reassured me that with Citrus Peeler and a scraping tool it shouldn't take more than a few days.)
2. Went to the freezer tonight to get out the ice cream and discover that all the ice cream, pot stickers, frozen waffles and berries (you get the idea...) are thawed, foamy, or runny.
3. Daughter is sobbing because a neighbor called (the same one who called the inspectors to our house "anonymously" to see if our builders had the right license from the State) to ask if she can adopt our daughter's pet cat Huckleberry. She was worried that he was "too friendly" and might be picked up by someone or that he didn't have a warm place to go now that the weather is turning cool because he comes to her house to nap in her front chair in the afternoons (and she feeds him milk four times a day).

I could also go on about potty accidents, bath tirades, jammed new HP printers, stomach aches, homework not completed, sticky kitchen floors, children that played "hide and go seek" with cousins and dumped out all my huge bins of folded and sorted by age laundry and scattered it all over the floor, etc. These don't seem severe enough for the Korean Saying. On the light side...the baby is up because I couldn't resist kissing her on the cheek, the young children ask for mom to sing to them just one more song if they are very quiet, the contact rebate check came in the mail, and even amidst messes and construction I know how very blessed I am. Do the Koreans have a saying about good things also coming in threes? Post edit: (11:25 p.m.) Sweet husband comes up and tells me he has "fixed" the freezer. Apparently a little "helper" turned the refrigerator all the way down and there is only one switch for both the fridge and freezer. Both are up and humming now! No new fridge/freezer combo--definitely a blessing.
