Okay, seriously, I'm beginning to think someone has put a hex on me - or at least my household appliances.
Last week, my piano breaks. It's buzzing and annoying and the pedal is all squeaky. I need my piano to teach piano lessons. I complain and whine to husband - husband fixes piano. I was so proud. Done.
Two days ago, my washing machine floods the laundry room and bathroom. Dennis comes home from work and fixes washing machine. I stay up until 2:30 in the morning finishing all the laundry I'd intended to do that day. The damp diapers and toilet paper that had been stored in the laundry room could not be saved.
Today, the motor goes out on my dishwasher. GOES OUT! So now my sink and counters are covered by pretty much every dish I own, because it's not like I'm going to wash them BY HAND! What am I, a pioneer or something?
I just filled the sink with hot water and dish soap and stuffed maybe a fourth of the dirty dishes in there to "soak". Let's be honest, that's probably where they're going to stay all night and I'll repeat the process again tomorrow.
All I know is some of Dennis' and I biggest fights were over who had to do the mountain of dishes when we lived in our old BYU apartment, sans dishwasher. This is not good for my marriage. Not good.
I guess I'll go try to relax and continue ignoring my kitchen. I'm thinking I'll take a bubble bath before the tub cracks in half or the pipes burst or the faucet falls out of the wall.

I hate our dishwasher.... but it's still better than handwashing. Maybe you could get a trick quarter and Dennis will end up having to wash them!
you could just put it all in a box and bring it over here to my house...you can use my dishwasher! Seriously!
two words. Paper Products. Who needs to be concerned about the environment when your marriage is on the line here?!!
Perhaps you have an appliance ghost that has come to haunt you. No fun! Trials definitely come in multiples.
