Sorry to hear of your calamities, friend.

If it makes you feel any better hear mine:
-2 flat tires (the 2nd on the way home from the tire shop)
-emergency air compressor suddenly burns out when I actually need it (damn Chinese)
-cat has a broken leg (or something) and is getting punked by the neighborhood felines
-foul ball at the varsity softball field shattered my truck window (I'm a coach - people thought it was funny! )
-bought a new BBQ and it's been raining ever since.

OTOH, I do have a great, happy, healthy little boy... so who cares, right?

BTW, have you looked at free-standing tubs? I really like the retro looks of those tubs. It would also keep the water off your walls.
