caught up (almost)

It's probably been at least six months since I noticed that the dryer was taking an awfully long time

to dry.

But I did not want to have to get a new dryer!

For the past 3 months, it's been kinda hit and miss on whether or not there would be heat.

And if there was heat - would it be normal, or super hot.

Or would the timer advance properly, or speed through the cycle.

Or would it even start at all.

Brandon and I have tried various things to fix it,

mostly spending hours trying to figure out the right combination of words,

so Google could tell us what to do.

Best we could figure, we had multiple issues going on.

Even so, I've managed to stay on top of the laundry for the most part.

Until the dryer pretty consistently didn't heat for days

(except for the 10 minutes that it did heat, and it was scary hot)

and 

then I cleaned the girls' room

and wound up with four extra loads of laundry.

(which explains why we could never find anything for them to wear...)

I finally gave up the fight and admitted defeat, 

so last night,

 Tyler bought me a fancy new dryer.

So now, I am caught up on laundry again.

Except that Lex' peed on our sheets at naptime.

And 

I'm out of laundry soap.
