Have you ever had a week like this.....

First of all my dishwasher broke. It would go through the motions but the dishes would come out dirty. Huge bummer! Since we had so many adoption fees this month I decided to wait a week to call the service man, to avoid another bill. So I washed dishes for a week and was more than ready to have it fixed after that. So, last Monday Robb called the place where we bought the dishwasher (the place that sells their appliances based on their "great service") and after 8 DAYS we are still waiting for them to show up!! Robb has called them TWICE and was making another call this morning. Since it is busy time on the farm I am cooking up a storm for the guys and am tired of washing tons of dishes every day! I have reached the point of planning my meals based on what takes the least amount of dishes to prepare! (BTW this is the universal picture for dishwasher posts, right?? :-))))) On Saturday morning I woke up to 40 degree weather and couldn't get to the coffee pot quick enough! I NEEDED that cup of coffee to warm me up and get my mind off the fact that it is the end of May and temps reached close to FREEZING the night before! Well, you can imagine the tantrum I threw when I went to turn it on and NOTHING happened! I quickly carried it around the kitchen trying other outlets then doing a once-over of the appliance and then shedding a FEW TEARS! This CAN'T BE HAPPENING! Okay, after pouting for most of the day I decided I can at least blog about my BAD LUCK. So I grab my trusty digital camera that I LOVE OH SO MUCH and push the power button only to see BLACK and hear a little bit of a NOISE. I changed the battery and pushed a few buttons and......NOTHING. At this point I didn't throw a tantrum or shed a tear, I simply put it down and made sure I didn't say, "What more could go wrong?!?" Oh, what a week!

ANYTHING BUT THE CAMERA!!!! That is too bad. Maybe you need to bring your dog in the house to lick the dishes clean, drop the kids off at the farm, and don't we have a really nice relative that could fix you a cup of good coffee. Let me know and I can meet you for lunch!!!!

Well, on the bright side, it can't get much worse can it??!!

I have 2 words for you.....paper plates! Before I had a dishwasher, we used tons on paper plates.

Hope things are better for you this week!

Here's hoping your week gets better as well . . . and for what it's worth, I'm a little bit jealous of your 40 degree weather. I guess everything is all in your perspective. : )
