Grateful

That is all of the dishes from the top rack if the dishwasher.





Why is it out?

Because our dishwasher, which was full to the BRIM this morning, decided to die of motor failure. At 7 years old. With smelly smoke.

Sidenote: why is it that my parents have a 15+ year old dishwasher that still works?? Not fair.

We went and picked out a new one today. So, what's the problem?

It won't be here (for installation) until the end if the week. Apparently the plumbers only work M-F and have a wait list. Of course they do. I almost cried in Home Depot.

So, until then I will be busy. Washing a lot of things by hand. And still using paper plates and forks. And being grateful for dishwashers, cause humans weren't meant to wash this many things by hand.

Sister, send me Rut!!!

  1. Girl, I FEEL your pain! We were without for nearly a month. With THREE children! I am spoiled and have NOT complained about loading or unloading since we got the new one! May yours come quickly! :)

  6. I've found washing dishes by hand to be relaxing. Maybe you'll find some sort of release as well? Go to Bed Bath and Beyond and get the drying mat, it's a God send.
