our washing machine is broken. life really changes when you have a broken washing machine. especially with 2 kiddos. the positives: no laundry!!! and since i'm the main laundry person of the house, full time employment or maternity leave, that's a pretty nice excuse to not be collecting, changing, folding, put away, repeat. the negatives: cloth diapers (for obvious reasons) and a 2 year old who pukes after tasting any vegetable. i mean you name it, ANY vegetable. i wonder how long it will last? i'm quite proud of him because he is at least trying the vegetables now, instead of throwing a fit. but even when he "likes" it, as he liked his asparagus tonight, somehow we still eventually end up with vomit. i think it's also a case of a super sensitive gag reflex, which my sweetie can't help. add that to the stubborn soul that he's rightfully inherited from his mama regarding trying new foods and we have a poor situation for mealtime. thankfully he loves fruit, so we load up on the bananas.

as for the washing machine, my uber fix-it man husband is at it again. i told him yesterday about the problem and was like "so we need a new washing machine". he was like "have i ever let you down before?" referring to his uncanny ability to solve our household emergencies. he did some research last night, then flipped the thing over to figure out the problem tonight, and now i have instructions to pick up a 26 dollar part at sears tomorrow.... stay tuned!
