What a day...

Hmmmm...
Today seems to be one of those days where I should just crawl back to bed and start over. It started nicely enough...kids off to school, no one forgot any papers or missed the bus. Sam even slept in a bit so I could snooze a bit get tons of stuff done. Then it started....

The day from heck! It doesnt help that my kitchen currently looks like this

what a day 011

we got a new dishwasher delivered today and so I have everything out from under my kitchen sink. This is where the delivery guys placed it, so I cant move around my island anymore.

Of course while the delivery guys were removing the ancient dishwasher that we unhooked last night, they managed to dump a ton of stinky smelly water all over my hall that was evidently hiding in the dishwasher somewhere.

I also learned today that once you unhook a dishwasher you cant run your kitchen sink. Duuh. Which of course led to much more water, only all over my kitchen and it wasnt smelly :-)

My three year old was in a serious mood today and threw no less than 10 tantrums this morning over meaningless infractions like me placing the oranges on the plate instead of on the napkin. (finally napping now!!)

Due to the fact that I have SO many people who change their clothes here and all the water issues my laundry currently looks like this

002

with yet more loads in the washer and dryer.

I have still yet to figure out how I am going to cook without using my sink and have decided I am going to burn lots of calories since I cant go around my island at all.

Not to mention we still have to figure out how to install the dishwasher. :-(

I think that I need to go back to bed and wake up tomorrow and have it all done hehehe

2 little notes from friends:

We just recently bought a new dishwasher. It was super easy to install. You need to connect the water line to the dishwasher. You also need to install the electric plug. You new dish washer probably came with one, but you could use the one from the old one if it was in good shape. Finally you connect the water outlet to the drain under your sink. Ours actually connected to the garbage disposal. Voila! Now you slide it into the space under the counter, level it off and screw it in. It literally took us an hour to install and that was with us reading the directions going step by step.

Good luck!

Oh Amy, makes us all feel more normal. You know that you aren't alone on those kind of days or where chores get piled up. I really thought Sammy didn't even throw tantrums, so that makes my house look more normal too.

This too shall pass and tomorrow is a new day (hopefully one that involves a running sink and working dishwasher). ((hugs)) my friend!!
