A few months back our dryer began acting a little skittish but as long as it was working, I was not complaining. However, this weekend it has decided to go to dryer heaven. We are hoping that it's only a fuse and waiting for the part to come in and see but both of us have a feeling that she is on her way out. Well, good riddance. Because while we are also waiting for the part to come in - daddy let me purchase a new dryer AND washer that won't be here till Friday. So the plan is to get in the part and if we plug it in and it works, cancel the order on the new ones (boo!). But if it does not work then I will be doing cartwheels and celebrating the upcoming arrival of my new bff's! It's the little things. So if you see my driving over a UPS package in my driveway to crush it's contents, just turn and looks away - you saw nothing! I really wish though that things could be made the way the used to be made. You know, to last. My dad's washer and dryer is probably somewhere around 16 years old and still running strong. Granted, this is my dad we are talking about so everything of his lasts forever because everything of his gets pampered. He really takes such good care of his things. And I try. I really do. But with my schedule I'm usually having to get things done quickly so I'm usually slamming stuff around, throwing it here, throwing it there..its a nightmare. So as we wait for this part (or for my NEW set), my clothes are just building up and if you recall from a previous post, that is no bueno. I have to do laundry at least twice a week or it's insane! So tomorrow we'll me making trips back and forth to Papa's house to try and get some laundry done, with 3 kids, and 60% chance of rain - oh joy!
Later this afternoon, I did get some downtime with some great gals. It was my friend Tara's bridal shower and I just had to go! I couldn't wait to see everyone but most importantly, I am so ecstatic about her upcoming wedding that I just couldn't wait to celebrate her! So, I went to drop the girls off with my parents - nurse Eva to sleep so that she'll go with my mom and I was off! I surprised myself by showing up only 15 minutes late this time. That's a record! It was great seeing old friends and old teachers that I haven't seen in years. We had tea and a wonderful spread of food. It wasn't meant to last though because as we were getting ready for games, I got the 9-1-1 call from Nana. Little peach was awake and starting to realize that her mama wasn't there. I played two of the games then hugged some necks, kissed some cheeks, and apologized to the bride. Thankfully I wasn't too far away and by the time I got to her she had fallen asleep on her Nana, little stinker. I know people most think - how inconvenient that she won't be away from you, but I don't feel that way at all. I love that she needs me around because I have such an independent 4 year old that I know how quickly it all turns around. So I'm enjoying it for now.
