Ok, I don't usually complain on my blog but I think I have to vent a little.
My dishwasher broke in June. I didn't want to spend the money when I was not working during the summer so I did dishes by hand for 2 months. Two weeks ago we felt like it was close enough to me going back to work that we could replace the broken dishwasher. We even installed it ourselves because we ROCK!
Last week JT was out of town for four days and Bri was playing with her friends. They came running upstairs and said there was smoke in the basement. I wigged out trying to find where it was coming from. It was not thick smoke, but it was definitely something burning. After about 10 minutes I narrowed it down to my dryer. It has been having a few problems working for the last several months and is now a risk to our home. We JUST bought the new dishwasher two weeks ago, what makes me want to buy a new dryer...that is NOT fun.
THEN...the next day Bri was looking at Yeager and said that he was winking at her. He was actually squinting his left eye and it was watering a lot. I waited until the next day and then called the vet. They recommended having it looked at because he could easily lose an eye if an infection goes untreated. So after a visit to the vet, a cornial stain and a diagnosis of a corneal ulcer, we are getting him feeling better with some antibiotic ointment that we have to put in his eye three times a day. And for those of you who know Yeager, he is a very hyper puppy and doesn't sit still very well, but it must feel good to have the ointment in his eye because he sits very still and lets me put it in every time.
Today we were going to have that garage sale I have been waiting for all summer. I have had a pile of junk in my bathroom all summer. We finally got a round to it and had everything set up in the garage...and it rained. Now I have a garage full of unwanted items that have to wait another two weeks because we have plans next weekend. But at least I have a clean bathroom!
So...dishwasher...good......dog...good.....junk...taking over my garage......dryer...HOW AM I GOING TO DO LAUNDRY THIS WEEK!
okay...rant over. sorry. ;)

I am sorry to hear about all of that. Let me know if there is anything we can do. I hate it when things pile up like that.
Should have been expepected. That's the way things like that always work out. I think the appliances and car engines converse, scheme, and coordinate with one another.
You can borrow my dryer if you want. I'll be doing my wash all day Tuesday, but you could use it tomorrow or Wednesday...
A couple of years ago I had a summer/year just like yours. I repaired a dishwasher, replaced a washer and dryer, and replaced a refrigerator all in the same year. I recall telling Nathan, "Heavenly Father doesn't want us to have any money. I don't know why, but he just doesn't." How frustrating!
My grandma has all my laundry caught up...you can use mine.
Sorry I didn't make it to church today...Kimball is puking all over this morning. Hope everything went well. Any good news for me?
What a bummer! That sounds like a lot of bad luck all piled up! I wish I could do something to help you out.
WOW!!! When it rains it pours ... at least thats how it always seems to me. At least you have some really pretty couches to sit on (or lay laundry on to dry - joking). Good luck!
So Sorry.
Don't be afraid to line dry for a couple months. I did it in Utah for 3 months and here in Malaysia we don't use dryers at all. The electric bill is so much lower without dryer use. If I had a larger family I might need a dryer, but 3 people is easy.
Good Luck!!
