Master bathroom

This is my poor man water softer. Nate found me a recipe for to make my own bath salts. Just get 2 cupswater softener rock salt, 3 cups of epsom salt and 1 cup of baking soda and voila!

This is a new vinyl saying I just put on my wall a few days ago. I heard it in my stake conference. Someone was telling a story about her little girl who was about 7 or 8 who had cancer and had to be intubated for several months and couldn't talk and when she filanlly got all of her tubes taken out she asked to say a prayer and she said "Dear Heavenly father has sent us here to love one another" and she still begins every prayer the same way every time. I thought there was no better message I could sum up in one sentence what I wanted my kids to learn while I have them in my home then that so I got it as big as my wall would fit.

Thanksgiving

Sunday, November 28, 2010

I have so much to be thankful for that I have to post it on here.

I started a new medication at the beginning of October. My Dr told me that the first 4 to 6 weeks are hard but after that it works really really well. When she told me it was going to be hard I had no Idea how hard it was going to be. I could hardly function. It was almost as bad as not being on any medication at all . That means horrible migraines, about 20 seizures a day, passing out, falling down the stairs, and hitting my head on everything. But sure enough, after 4 weeks the medication started working like a charm and I haven't had a seizure or a migraine in a week. That is the longest I have ever gone since I have gotten sick (two years three months and two weeks ago but who is counting).

I am also so thankful that we found a beautiful house in Kaysville. We fell in love with it and made and offer which was accepted. We will be moving in around December 18th. The only problem was Nate's work was in Brigham City, a long 45 minute commute. But fate was on our side. He was transferred to Sunset, a short 15 minute commute.

Appliance Repair for Dummies

Friday, September 10, 2010

So 3 months ago we bought a brand new washer and dryer. We decide to spend the extra money to get a quality set that we can use for a long time. Our salesman recommends a nice Whirlpool set and we decide to buy them.

Then yesterday our nice new washer stops working. Not only does it stop working but when we open the door it dumps water all over our floor. Not what one would expect from a 3 month old 'high quality' machine. "There seems to be a lot of water in there" I say to Gretta. "I don't think it's draining. At least it's still under warranty." we say and we decide and schedule a repairman to come next week.

I'm still more than a little bugged that our washer broke already so I do a little Google research and find out that maybe the filter is clogged. I also find out that parts are covered under our warranty but not labor. I figure I might as well save myself a service charge if it's just a clogged filter. So we pop open the washer to see what lies in the filter.

Okay so we find some loose change, some thread and a paper clip. Huh ... that shouldn't be unexpected when designing a 'quality washing machine'. Let's reach up the drain hose a little and see what we find.

Okay so there is a hair elastic, a bobby pin, and the broken handle of a measuring cup. The measuring cup handle is a little odd. Did that really break my washer? Let's just check to make sure nothing else is stuck in the drain hose.

A sock? Really? My 'high quality washer' decided to drain a sock? It's not even a baby sock. It's a full on manly cotton poly blend Daddy sock. It seems like that should have come up in the early design stages of any washing machine. Maybe we shouldn't allow clothes to drain with the water. Maybe people will wash socks in this thing sometime and we should have some sort of sock blocking device in the drain. Sigh .....

Anywho, I have cancelled the repair service and the 'high quality washer' is washing again. Thank you Google for once again saving me money, and thank you Whirlpool for convincing me to never buy another one of your appliances again.
