You don't know what you've got till it's gone.....
Just a little hair band song to remind me of something I want to ask you today.
When I was at the end of my pregnancy with Will Holden, my dryer went out. Normally, I wouldn't care all that much but it was not the most fun thing ever to drag Hollis and my big belly to the laundry mat. It made me realize how much I appreciate having a washer and dryer at home! I know not everyone has one and somehow people survived many years ago without one but I am used to it and I love it. Also I can barely keep up with laundry WITH a washer and dryer - I can't imagine what I would do if I had to hand wash and line dry everything. ha!
Well, today my dishwasher kicked the bucket. I'm ordering a new one tomorrow hopefully but in the mean time I am hand washing all our dishes. I know a lot of people don't have dishwashers but there are not many things I dislike more than hand washing dishes. And we seem to have a ton. I usually run ours at least twice a day so that's a lot of dishes to wash. Especially when I spend most of my day chasing a wild toddler - it's hard to find time to get them all washed.

But I think I have learned from experience that the three things I would most want to keep would be:
