Yay for Nov!! We made it thru our month without having to get the super expensive temporary health insurance (since DH switched jobs)! And tomorrow I have a regular OB checkup so I'll get to hear the little guy and then see him on Thursday at our A/S (finally!)
Off to a not great start. I ran the dishwasher last night and the soap tray didnt open so I ran it again. My H went to grab a sippy cup and said "You forgot to run the dishwasher again". I was so sure I did, but baby brain has been strong recently so I shrugged it off and ignored it until morning. I opened it this morning and the soap was still there and definitely had not been run.
Switch it on... No sound...
Then it starts to make noises like it is working but theres no water.
So, tl;dr is my dishwasher is no longer bringing in water. We already have an electrical problem in our dining room we have had to put off which was NBD but now I have to wash all my dishes by hand and my dishwasher-priviledged ass could cry.
Keeping everything crossed that my H can fix it when he gets home from work. Why couldn't this happen last week when he was off?!
Good morning everyone! I found out yet another friend is pregnant, due in June. It must be the year for everyone to have kids! That's 3 pregnant friends now, and I don't have many friends haha
Today's my mom's bday so DD painted her a painting, and we are going to my parent's house for dinner. H will join if he gets home in time...he's at a training for lock picking today. Yes, apparently that's a thing. Happy Tuesday!
PS, I succeeded in no TOT'ers coming to my door last night. Now I'm probably going to hit up the candy sales today! Also, at my appt yesterday, I came in at +4lbs since the last appt, +8lbs total. Dr said "weight looks good" in his passing through my file and said nothing else about it, so I"m happy with that.
obi in HS my parents discovered their dishwasher was doing something similar - making the right noises, but not actually washing dishes. My stepmom's habit of pre-washing dishes, plus their use of liquid soap, actually hid the problem for who knows how long. They didn't realize it until one day they switched to tabs and noticed the tab was just sitting on the bottom of the machine when they went to unload.

Legit lol. Good thing your mom pre washed! I am a rinser but definitely not a prewasher so luckily I noticed quickly.
We are still waiting on my Hs application for the Indian Register to come through. It has been MONTHS already. If it clears and he gets his status card we will save on taxes for appliances.
I am hoping more than before that his application finally comes through in case we need to replace the dishwasher.
We put out most our thanksgiving/fall décor up with Halloween so unfortunately we can't change over yet. We will probably decorate for Christmas the weekend before thanksgiving.
We went to church on sunday for the first time in years. I grew up in a modern conservative evangelical church and we decided to try an Episcopalian church after going to a baptism of close friends at an Episcopal church. The friends are really similar to us in views/values so we decided to try it out and so far we like it and are going back. I feel apprehensive but kind of excited. They also happen to be the Montessori preschool we want the kids to attend in the fall
With all the holidays coming up, I feel like I am going to wake up and then suddenly it will be 2017, and then suddenly I am going to be living on edge and over analyzing every twinge in anticipation of sudden labor. It's like around the corner. aaaaaahhhh
my H's car broke down last night on his way home. Halloween was almost ruined.
this is his 2015 brand new car. my blood pressure was through the roof dealing with all of this.
Omg Id be in a full rage! Im so sorry youve got that to deal with. At least everything should be warranty.
I used to manage a car rental branch and had a brand new dodge ram 1500 die. It was dropped off by the dealer, I drove it to fill up with gas for our renter and when I went back out to turn it on it was just dead. I was livid and it was just a company vehicle. I cant imagine that feeling if it were my own!
obi oh no!! I hope you get it fixed fast, hand washing dishes is the worst!
Agreed! Dishes are my most hated chore because they never freaking end. My hell would be washing a never ending amount of dishes. Scummy water and cruddy drain traps are so cringe worthy *shudders* Our old apartment didn't have a dishwasher so when we bought this house and I saw the dishwasher I was on top of the world. Oh, how hard it is to fall from such great heights...

the service manager just called and admitted that it was caused by an error on their part during his last oil change. they are replacing the entire engine (no cost to us.) and we get to keep the loaner car (a brand new subaru) for the next 2 weeks while they fix it. I'm happy with the customer service.

Thats awful but great! Im glad theyre doing right by you.
Such a busy morning but it is super nice out so I went for a walk on lunch! I feel super sleepy now. My co worker went home sick with possibly a stomach bug. I think you should be fired if you come into work with a stomach bug.

Trust me.. I get it. Already! 3-1/2 weeks to the day I freak out.
I'm trying to be productive this morning. I'm failing. I DID get the twins to try raspberries in their oatmeal and they loved it. Yay!
I think the 14-1/2 year old is finally succumbing to whatever crud has been slowly rolling through our house. That girl needs to kick it quickly so I don't have to cancel everything for a whole 'nother week! Thinking healthy thoughts!
I think last night was our most fun Halloween ever. Funny thing, we went to the Halloween event at Ikea. Seriously. We wanted a place where I could sit down comfortably no matter where we were and it fit the criteria. It was the last hour of the event and the employees were so nice. The girls all had a ball, it was temp controlled and well-lit, and we had dinner halfway through with the kids meals free. Life is good
