This I know. I also know that other thing.

I know it's been a week of this.

No, not just cupcakes and wine.

A sink seeing more action than usual. Our dishwasher kicked the bucket on Sunday.
{RIP you big shiny magic box of goodness}

Although, Linds did have to bake 85 cupcakes for school last night....which also coincided with her coming down with the runniest of noses. I predict 85 more runny noses today. She did not drink the wine. That was all my doing for it is my job.

Anyhoos. I know I love my appliances.

I think my fridge is at the top of my love list, with my clothes washer being a close second....and third? The big shiny box of dish washing goodness.

I really didn't complain. We knew it was coming. One little thing after another for the last 2 years was going....giving us little signals.

*The display going out. (I know appliance braille so it worked out)
*The door not locking (It's ok if you know just how hard to shove the door closed)
*The thing starting up on a whim. (It's ok when you are home and can turn it off & towel off the floor)

The Coach is replacing it on Saturday morning.

And can you believe I never complained about NOT having a dishwasher this week?
Ok, there was that one moment......I know I loathe stuff being on the counter. Clutter freak who?

I've been keeping up with what I use. The girls kinda keep up with what they use and the Coach has taken care of the rest.
Yeah.
I know I'm lucky.

Because I ALSO know that dishpan hands don't look good on me.

I also know that my electrician was here last night and I need a new gang box. But who doesn't?
And this morning....my plumber told me the flange on my toilet is too low. Geeze, rude much?

I know it is expensive to keep a house in running order. No one told me this when I was a kid and I was ACTUALLY playing HOUSE. Not as fun when you have to dish out $$.

You know I'll be kissing my new dishwasher come Saturday morning. And then I'll be cleaning the Burt's Bee's lipgloss off of it swiftly....'cause I know I can't be having dirty appliances.

I know you are all going to have a good weekend. Right?
Kiss the things you love the most.....the people, the pets and that big thing in the kitchen keeping your goodies from giving you salmonella.
Then swiftly clean it off in my honor.

XOXO
