How I spent my last Sunday

Yesterday I had extremely dangerous day for me.
I had a lot of housework, so I decided to stay at home.
In the morning I was roughly awoken up by my two – year - old daughter. She awake and played on my bed. I was quietly sleeping when she accidentally jumped on my head. I was strongly scared and got a heavy kick. But it was only beginning.
Afternoon I washed up kid’s sandpit at the backyard. Suddenly I felt something hard under my fingers. I though it was a small stone, but when I looked at it - I saw the red-back spider. I became panic-stricken. Fortunately, it didn’t bite me. Thank you my guardian angel.
The last “fanny” event happened in the evening. I wanted to drink a cup of tea, switched our electric kettle on. It was standing on the fridge. Suddenly, kettle started to jump and turned over... Boiled water began to flow on the fridge, on the wires, on the plug socket… I quickly switched electricity off, but the kettle unfortunately was broken.
It was noted, that troubles usually happen three times in one day. So I hope, that all my worries finished.
P.S. Today is Monday. Unfortunately, my elder daughter is ill today, although she was healthy yesterday. I hope, tomorrow everything will be better.
