So like the topic asks ... Am I some how cursed?
Or is it that I had a few bad breaks recently and it just amplifies the normal every day crap that happens and you forget about easily?

Christian advice?
Sucks to be you
Lose the anger, it will eat your heart out.
Give your missus a big hug and kiss and tell her you love her and forgive her
Work together, sort out a plan to fix your finances
Better to let it go than add a divorce to the list of woe
Sounds like you are doing to much on your own and holding to much resentment and you can't deal with that on your own
Go talk to your friends, let them know, share your burden with real people
Get some friends
But what would I really know, just some advice on the net, take it or leave it

You sound like a country/western song. Put your words to music and send it to all those producers in Nashville. You might make some money off it. Give Willie a try. Be sure to copyright it.

Ha Ha I went through exactly the same thing many years ago, and you know what, I identified the problem or I thought I had which was the same thing, it turned out that one of the worst things you can do is have an ornamental Elephant which will bring terrible luck if its not facing the door, this was after researching things like bad Feng Shu etc. ,and I just came across it. Like some one said " If you have an Ornamental Elephant make sure it faces a door" I had bought one as souvenir on a trip to Bombay . I built a fire and tossed it on and that was the end of the bad luck. The run of bad luck included rolling a car getting electrocuted, along with many more to numerous to mention. So if you have got an ornamental Elephant either get rid of it of make sure its facing a door.

Actually, that sort of thing is more common than you realize: everything is fine (or normal,) then something bad happens, leading to more bad things, and even more bad things. I lived a life that went this way and I after a while I started calling it The Curse. However, as I said, it's not uncommon. I've known different people who seemed to have 'cursed' lives, one whole family that seemed cursed (many illnesses and they all died young for different reasons,) and people whose normal lives became 'cursed' for a time.
I have an answer to this in a book by Colin Wilson called "Super Consciousness." Wilson explains that we can generate certain outcomes for ourselves, in the way that prayers can work. Since then, this whole Law of Attraction thing sprang up, but Wilson's take on how we affect reality is a bit more sophisticated. I believe there is some truth to this ability (how much, I'm undecided.) But the point that really clicked for me was when he explained how all things are connected, as with synchronicity. Often bad things do happen together, as good things happen together. There are links between circumstances, of course unseen/unrealized by us. Nothing is 'coincidental,' but manifested as part of a universal labyrinth. Call it by God's design or through a process which may one day have its own branch of science dedicated to the study of it, but in this theory, all things connect universally: your breakfast, your health, the well-being of those around you, what is being done and said right now. All of it. Ever have deja vu? In that moment, not only does everything feel familiar, but everything feels perfectly in place, as if it was all somehow 'meant to be.' There are no small or unimportant details in that moment: all of it belongs together, no matter how random it seems.
I hope I am not confusing you. Basically, according to Wilson's theory, things basically do 'go that way.' Negative tends to attract negative, and vice-versa. Things can really snowball against you and quickly. If you are religious, I'd advise prayer. Or meditation. But honestly, it comes down to simple things like watching your health, dressing comfortably, looking after your loved ones, etc. Try to focus on better outcomes and do what practical things you can to make your life more comfortable and stable. I know it can seem silly, like trying to stay calm and optimistic while your house is burning down or a tornado is ripping through your yard, but that's what it may take. Resistance over time, standing opposed to the turbulent snowballing, wins this energetic conflict.
That's the best as I can articulate this for now. I hope it makes sense for you. For the record, I don't believe in the Law of Attraction, as such. Being positive can have no affect on negative outcomes, and vice versa. However, I have experienced the magic of prayer/meditation, so there really is truth to it.

No. You just loose focus after your dog get sick. You should take a vacation. Relax yourself. Then try not to cause more careless mistakes. Work out your problem one by one. Once you settle a problem, things should be OK by itself, as long as you remain focus.
How's your dog?
