The morning sun is shining like a red rubber ball.

[wishing, hoping]

So the washer and dryer are installed now. The landlord came by and thankfully the dryer worked. He had just forgotten he needed to flip a switch or something. I cleaned them off and other than a few scratches and dents they look brand new. The dryer is huge!! I am so excited. I haven't used it yet. I'm almost afraid to. I'll run a small load tomorrow when the kids are with J. That way if anything goes wrong they won't hear me rage.

He also checked the dehumidifier (which I forgot about completely). It was full of water. He thought he had it hooked up to empty automatically but he didn't. So now I need to check it every day to see if it needs emptied. I have been running the fans in the house too and that seems to help. It's been terribly humid around here lately. And lots of rain that doesn't help.

Kids back to J's tomorrow. I will never get used to this back and forth stuff. I am all set for D's party except I need to finish the cookies (gluten free), chocolate covered pretzels, watermelon stars and fruit kebobs. I am waiting for the last minute to make the food. I learned my lesson last year.

I hope the rain holds off. But then again, I can't control the weather. We will just make alternate plans.
