Does it ever end?

Just FYI - this is a whiny post because I'm frustrated and feel like WHINING. So there. Read at your own risk.

Okay. Several weeks ago our dishwasher went out. Since then we've been washing dishes by hand until we could get someone out here to look at it. Not too big of a deal, but annoying.

Melissa has been sick 2 of the last 3 weeks. Thankfully we didn't have to pay to take her to the doctor the first time but we did last week. Plus a prescription.

Last week or the week before I noticed that our pipe was leaking under the sink. Not really something you can ignore. So a plumbing visit and over $100 dollars later, the leak is fixed.

I thought maybe we were done for awhile. Nope. Yesterday my washer went out. Can't really live without that one. Well, I COULD wash the clothes by hand, but I'm not that Little-House-on-the-Prairie, thank you very much.

So I called yesterday and made an appointment to have a guy come look at both of them Friday, hoping it would be an easy fix and by this weekend I would be able to wash dishes and clothes again. I can wait a few days, right? We have plenty of clothes.

WELL. This morning Kyler woke up throwing up. So. I NEED my washer! Brian stayed home with Kyler so I could go to work and we called and got the guy to come today instead of tomorrow. I thought, hey, he'll fix whatever's wrong and by the time I get home from work I can get all of this vomit-covered stuff washed. Is my luck ever that good?

Dishwasher - apparently had a leak we didn't know about for a while. Thankfully didn't mess up the floor or the wall, but it shorted out the motor on the dishwasher. Not worth paying to fix so we'll have to buy a new one. Great.

Washer - the transmission is dead. Not worth paying to fix so we'll, again, have to buy a new one. Fabulous.

Oh, yeah, I forgot. I think I might have pink eye. Praying that it's just allergies. I don't want to go to the doctor. It costs too much money.

Silver lining? Well, I didn't much like my washer or dishwasher anyway. Now I can pick out some I actually like. Even if I can't really afford it. At least I waited until the washer died and got both appliances checked out at the same time so I didn't have to pay for two repairman visits.......
