A Day in the life....

How is it that your major appliances and teeth seem to know when you don't have extra fund and then go wonky?

I have a molar at the top near the back, that the last time I went to the dentist (which is embarrassingly long ago) told me it is only being held together by it's filling. They would want to take the silver filling out but the tooth would fall apart. It wasn't really an issue for me except the odd time with hot and cold issues. Lately however its been driving me nuts! Aches and pains all hot and cold and sometimes just sucking in air - PAIN. Not just that tooth either there are a few giving me grief.

Our dishwasher - UGH. Cleaning the bottom rack but the top not at all! There are 4 people living full time in this house and it is amazing the amount of plates and cups and glasses we go through. It is also amazing how much that top rack really holds - you don't realize this until you can't use it anymore. I don't think I have ever seen my cupboards empty of plates or glasses before - this was a first! I don't like hand washing - not just because its a pain in the butt (I actually don't mind the physical part of it) I just don't feel the items are sanitized properly.

Today a nice man came to look at my dishwasher and said it was clogged with hard water calcium and to put a liter of vinegar into the dishwater and let it run, once a month! I hope it works because a new one is a pricey little venture for sure!

Both these things will be solved, of this I have no worries. It just makes me despise the person who put us in the hole to start with even more than before! It is all working out better for us in the end but still - such a frustration!

I have to say my family (that includes our extra members lol) is pretty great. Everyone helps out as needed and we work well together! Love you all!
