So last night before bed I put some towels in the dryer and Taryn's school uniforms in the washing machine. Taryn wakes up at 5:30 this morning, knowing that her uniforms need to be dry so she can wear one of them to school I get my very tired self out of bed to put them in the dryer. Open the dryer, towels are dry...GREAT! Take them out, put wet uniforms in, choose the setting, press start....NOTHING! SAY WHAT? Make sure the dryer door is completely closed, press start again...NOTHING! OK, DON"T PANIC! Press start about ten times, because surely that will let the dryer know that I am desperate for it to work...NOTHING! OK, WHAT AM I GOING TO DO? Taryn remembers she paid $1 the other day to be able to wear jeans today. AWESOME! What about a shirt? Hummmm...found a very wrinkled one in her dresser that is one size too small. OH WELL, IT WILL HAVE TO WORK! She put on a jacket because she gets cold in class...PERFECT! Oh wait a minute...the dryer is still broken...not perfect! Rich gets up, checks the breaker, messes with it for a minute and says, "looks like the dryer is broken." NAW...REALLY! My first feelings were, WHY ME? Our central heat went out in December. (still not fixed, but not like we need it now) Our central air went out about the same time. (still not fixed...but suppose to be getting fixed today) We bought a small window unit and have all been sleeping in one room together. Not romantic, sleeping on a day bed and trundle with the kids! Now the dryer...we don't have the money for all of this. Leave us alone devil...you stink! If anyone is getting rid of a dryer let me know! :)
