April Showers Bring May Showers??

It is still raining and it's not looking like it is going to stop anytime soon! BUT, we will take it!! Better than the cold and dare I say it... snow.

I think I will share 3 things that are going down right now, that matches the weather trend... When it rains it pours...

1. Our dishwasher broke. And I'm not calling a repairman because this is a good thing and a bad thing all at once! Bad thing being that we are stuck hand washing everything for the time being, but good thing being because our dishwasher sucked! Yes, we bought it when we moved here, so it lasted almost 5 years... I thought dishwashers lasted longer. So as much as it sucks to have to buy a new one, it is going to be happening in these parts sooner than later. 

2. We need a new roof on the addition of our house. This winter was hard on it and broke some trusses. So after some further examination, we have tin on that section of the roof, but they layed that on top of old shingles, so there is moisture inbetween and the plywood is most likely spongy, so we will take the tin off, rip off the shingles, rip off the plywood, fix the trusses and put down new plywood and put back on the tin! Kind of an unexpected fix as well, but it's gotta happen. Luckily it's not leaking or anything, but I don't want it to either! 

3. My hand mixer is pooched too. This happened the day I was induced in the middle of my double batch of chocolate chip cookies! Luckily M was home to finish mixing for me! However this mama has gone long enough without and I plan to replace this one TODAY!! 

See things are looking up! And to make my week, aside from the hefty vet bill at the end, BOTH Gracie and Lily have LOST 5 pounds!! Soo proud of them!! They both got a clean bill of health. We are still waiting to hear back on Lily's thyroid, but overall they are doing great!!

It always works like that, one thing breaks or need repaired and two more follow. Boo!
I agree rain is better than snow, we might get snow this weekend, crazy since its been 18-20 degrees this week!

We had rain for 2 days straight. Flooding was every where. We went out Tuesday night and it felt like February weather. I can't wait till it's warm so Jack can wear all of his adorable rompers I got him!!!

It's been raining nonstop here too. I hate spending money on stuff like home repairs…sometimes being a grown up is no fun! :(

Bummer about your dishwasher and roof! The joys of homeownership! :/
