New washing machine

I think appliances know when money is tight and they pick that time to break. They are such a-holes;-) Our washing machine died last week...right before Craig left town for his grandmother's memorial service, and as I got a knock out cold. Grrrr. We thought we could fix it by ordering a part, come to find out the part we ordered got fried because of another part going bad. Needless to say, the new control board (130$) got fried as well. Double Grrrr. Anyways, we did some research and bought a new Samsung top loader washing machine. We got a good price on it and so far I love it. It has a huge load capacity.

A while back I mentioned that I am looking for a child care gig. I talked with a friend about watching her two kids, but that didn't pan out for various reasons. Since then I have found two families in need of full time care for their new baby. We are meeting both families soon (one this Friday and one next Wednesday), and hopefully one of those situations will work out. It will just be for a year or two, while their kiddo is little. Kind of like what I did for the Longcor's back in Portland. It is going to be an adjustment for me and for our family, but the extra income will be great until we get our cars paid off (the van only has 18 more payments, yeah!). I will keep you all updated on how it goes!

Much love, B
