I thought I'd finish my dishwasher story before I post about "goings on"...I don't know, maybe I am way to "get it done" or have been in the past...you know, 2 oldest, both used to being "the boss" is supposed to be a bad combo...anyway, when S was about 1, H was gone on a day-long hunting trip. I felt kinda stuck at home with the baby, but ok, UNTIL I turned on our old dishwasher and it started leaking rusty water all over the floor. As I mopped up the water, I kept thinking "what's wrong with this picture"?, decided I knew what was wrong and enough was enough....I went to the store, bought a new dishwasher, went home and unintalled the old one, actually dragged the damn thing out of the house, the new one was delivered about that time, I figured it had to go in the same way the old one had come out, so I installed it. H came home that night and saw the old dishwasher sitting out to be hauled off, the new one was running when he walked in, and his mouth dropped open. He was literally speechless. It's still an item of discussion from time to time!
