I guess I'm exaggerating a little, it really wasn't that bad of a weekend. But to have your cell phone, refrigerator, dishwasher, and vaccuum cleaner bite the dust in one weekend sure didn't make my top ten list either. To be fair, everything but my cell phone has been on it's last legs for awhile. We were just hoping that they could magically repair themselves and last forever. Then pizza would rain down from the sky and ice cream would grow on trees (and of course you could eat these forever without gaining a pound.)
Do you know what I really hate? Washing dishes by hand. We even went out and bought a whole stack of paper plates and bowls to get us through until our new dishwasher is delivered. It feels like such a necessity, even though I know generations survived without dishwashers (including the Shadles until a couple of years ago.)
But our little Carter boy is feeling much better, which is all that really matters.
Well, got to go. Looks like we're about to make somebody at the Home Depot really happy.
Yes, paperplates were a regular staple at our house for quite a few years. Now that I have "city water" and a dishwasher I do not know how I lived without them!

Glad that Carter is doing better--it looks like he is having a blast with the sprinkler!
