Cause I asked "What next"

Things go wrong from time to time for the Robinson's. Luckily, we weather through it with the ability to laugh.
Last week when I thought we were at the end of our bad luck, the sewer backed up and overflowed into our shower, out onto the bathroom floor and into our bedroom. We called roto-rooter and they took our info and said someone would be dispatched. Two hours later, we decided to call back. Dusty called and gave our information again and low and behold, someone called back within 3 mins. He hadn't gotten the first dispatch. He took $50 off for this- making his 10 minute service call ONLY $250`-because it was now- after hours. Weird how he didn't get that dispatch now isn't it? He called out the restoration company for us, which came out and turned our house into the movie set of ET. There was plastic on the floors, walls and make shift doorways. I suddenly felt scared to live in my own home. But Dusty Robinson will not be budged- he is a home body! Not to mention, we would have to pack our entire house to take two little guys and it was already midnight.
The construction started the next morning, ripping up carpet and vinyl, taking out walls, all while Simon tried to nap and I tried to keep Gus out from under their feet. The sound of hammering followed by Gus using his four wheeler to hammer. Yup- his four wheeler...not one of his 200 toys that could be made into hammers, or his actual toy hammers. The adjuster came to take pictures of everything damaged and Gus was making him take pictures of his woolly worms. What can I do?
So now all of the construction is done and the house is back together. Nothing else will ever happen, I just know it!
