See that pile of 127 wet towels in front of my dishwasher? (Okay I am exaggerating) That is what happens when water starts pouring out of your dishwasher and you can't get it to stop pouring out. Actually I was very lucky. I was standing at my laptop in my kitchen when I heard water and it didn't sound normal. I look over and to my surprise water is coming out of the dishwasher. That is when I started yelling, "Run, run, hurry, hurry, get some towels, run, ahhhhh!" Luckily Brayden and Kennedi were close and responded to my pleas. Crazy. Even though I was there to wipe up the water as it was running everywhere, I wasn't as fast as I could have been so some of the water leaked into the basement, but lucky for us our basement isn't finished! :) I really had the kids running all over the place to find any spare towel, it really is kind of funny now. It would have been so much worse if I hadn't been standing there! I feel like it was a blessing from above that I caught it. So I am now becoming a professional hand dish washer. Luckily I have had practice when I would visit my grandma's house and she didn't have a dishwasher (or a disposal, uggg! I would choose a disposal over a dishwasher if you wanted to know) and growing up we had to hand wash all the pots and pans that couldn't go in the dishwasher. So now we shall see if we can get it all figured out. To repair or not repair, that is the question.On to other things.
I was happy to find my oldest reading scriptures in bed when I went to wake up the kids in the morning.
*When I went to go swimming yesterday my friend was there too. I was putting on my goggles and she asked if I had been lifting weights. She thought my biceps looked cut. Well I liked that! Even though I haven't lifted weights in a long time, I will take the compliment. *I just have to write this stuff down so I can remember the good things about life too. :) (If anybody is reading, you can ignore that last little part)
Okay, so I am training for a triathlon. That is why I am swimming. I don't really know how to swim but I am learning and I might even learn to like it. It wears me out like crazy. I can't get enough air in, so I am hoping that will change. This is really pushing me out of my comfort zone. I need to push myself and get over the feelings of not even trying because I might not be the best. I don't want my kids to be like that, so I better be a better example.
And that is that.

Oh my gosh, that happened to us too! Our dishwasher hose burst like 5 mins before we were walking out the door. I couldn't believe how FAST the kitchen flooded. I was so panicked too! I got down on my knees and thanked Heavenly Father that we were there when it happened. This was right before our house paper work was signed, so we would have been in a WORLD of hurt. I am so glad it turned out for you!
Shanna.. the Lord is watching over you :) And about that triathlon... wow... you are the girl. I wish I had that will power. I would love to do something like that. At my age it would be a miracle ... but it would be fun. Good luck and keep up the good work.
Sounds like you have had a rotten couple of days! I am so sorry! Doing dishes by hand is the worst! Ali can commiserate with you--she doesn't have a dishwasher! I hope your week gets better! Let me know if I can help! I will take you to lunch so you don't have to wash dishes!
I didn't have a dishwasher in college for a few years...I feel your pain! As for the swimming, you go you tough chick!
Sorry about your poor dishwasher, that stinks!
Congrats on the triathlon training, I've done a couple and loved doing them. The swimming was definitely the hardest, but don't sweat it, it gets easier the more you do it.
You have always had beautiful arms!
Well, I can't beat katie's comment=), but glad you caught the water before too late - always a huge fear! I admire you for going for it with the Tri-Atholon! Just can't get myself to do it. Go Shanna!
