When it rains, it pours!

So our lovely dishwasher, dryer, and TV decided to go break on us! What the heck? :) I guess that it's true when they say "when it rains, it pours"! So, if you happen to stop by and visit soon and we have clothes lying out to dry on our back porch, and dishes stacked up, and bored kids...you'll know why... Although, I guess they also say "when life gives you lemons, make lemonade." And along the same lines, "When life gives you rain, make rainbows."So on the bright side of things, at least now with having to handwash dishes, they will be sparkly clean!
And with no dryer, our clothes will smell fresh right?!
And with no TV...well...no TV!

Way to look on the brightside Ash! If bad things always happen in 3's, then I think good things should always happen in 9's! So maybe your due for some good luck now!

That stinks Ash! Our dryer bummed out on us a couple of weeks ago, but luckily that was the only thing! We got a great deal on a Maytag at Home Depot and we got free delivery, so you might want to check out there! Good luck and you'll have to show off your new appliances when you get them :) Love ya!

They say things come in 3's... it must be true! No fun, but way to be positive ;)

So sorry for your recent bad luck. Don't forget to check craigs list for some sweet deals. Especially here in Boise. I know it wont be very fun traveling with those appliances but I have found some SUPER amazing deals here, people here must have too much money. Come back and see us soon!!! Dave & Heidi

Wow, you are good at making lemonade! :)

Rhonda said...

Haha...way to put a postive spin on it! Sucks about the chunk of money you're about to spend though!

Man, that stinks! What are the chances of all three breaking at the same time! Seriously! Good luck taking care of it all. I hope you have a better week next week. I'm sure you will be able to look back at it one day and laugh!

I FEEL your pain! Trust me, I'm not trying to "one-up" you, but I know how you feel! We just had our well pump go out on us. Yeah, that's not a cheap one. Try $1500! And at the same time, our computer got a virus...Oh, and we've already replaced our water-heater, and our roof, within one year! Oh, the joys of home ownership, especially with an older home!

Mary said...

Oh no! Three of the most important things in the house!! (In my house, anyway!) And just in time for Pioneer Day (here in Utah) so you got to really get into character. :)

Okay Ash, here comes a little tiny bit of profanity... Shit honey that really sucks. I'm sorry! Glad everyone else and yourself could help you out in the positive aspect, but all those are at once. Ummm yes suckage front and center! Hope that the recovery is going good and I'm still waiting for the project pic's you were going to send!!! Love you guys!

Dang it hon! Thanks for being a positive influence to me, I'd be kicking all the dumb things!! LOVES

Ashley, you are more than welcome to use my dryer again any time you need. Sorry about the other two, but at least those aren't as necessary. I almost always hand wash my dishes. I prefer it, don't know why. Good luck with everything.

How crazy for you guys! That is such a bummer. It is so true...when it rains it pours! But you have a great attitude about it so good job. :) I don't think I'd be that way!
