Why me?!

Why is it that I cant keep a single nice thing in my life?! I swear... between the kids, the cats or Dan (not to mention my own occasional clumsiness) all my nice s*&t gets broken or ruined! John seems to think the once-in-a-while game of BASEBALL in the house is fine - until he shatters the plaster hand print I had of his from his first birthday! I guess putting everything worth keeping in one room that is supposed to be the formal living room - thus telling children to stay out - was just too much for his little brain to handle... Or in throwing a fit he crushes a old figurine of mine from when I was a kid... I guess it has just been the week of breaking things that were important to Theresa. Melissa while trying to sweep swings the broom handle around and knocks off the vase on the counter... Serena dinkin around in the bathroom - slams the door banging a small mirror off the wall. Well to top it all off tonight Dan is moving all this crap around for his new XBox 360 - taking the original XBox into the other family room and setting up the new one in our family room... I have said several time "Please move that glass thermometer off the TV before it gets knocked off while moving the TV." Well it wasnt from moving the TV but he was digging around behind the TV looking cables and pulling things out from behind - so what does he do swings a cable right 'through' it and it goes crashing to the floor.... *sigh* So now I am sitting here wanting to be pissed off and he is trying to make me feel better - he is good at making things better... so I am rationalizing it like I always do - I really didnt want it around - it was a christmas present from my Mom to Rob and I so... I guess it is OK that it is now in the garbage - fitting I suppose... but the other stuff around here was important to me...I cant wait until my kids grow up just a bit more and things stop getting smashed!
