I broke my wrist almost 2 weeks ago and had surgery about a week and a half ago. During this time i have really realized how much i miss doing those things that i used to dread each day. From moping to giving the kids baths to LAUNDRY to most of all, cooking three meals a day. As frustrating as this time is for me right now, i thank God for it, to show me the joys in all these things that i had been taking forgranted! thanks for the post!Alyssahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02673767523550733547noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3762514.post-8019026354331719842009-10-23T06:29:16.116-04:002009-10-23T06:29:16.116-04:00I get to wash my dishes and sweep my kitchen.

I have to wear supplemental oxygen to get by from moment to moment, but PRAISE THE LORD I'm still here and I don't take everything for granted like I used toAnonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3762514.post-87288201497026410902009-10-20T09:32:55.912-04:002009-10-20T09:32:55.912-04:00The drain had to be replaced.

It was a $300 repair but that's still much better than a new $900 washer!! Today we have a plumber here to replace our disposal. Sigh.

But I came home with 12 lbs of chicken breast, 8 bags of frozen veggies, rice, grape jelly, tea, and more... all for only $30. I love how HE enables me to stretch our grocery dollars and still eat healthy.

One day early last summer, I walked into my laundry room and stepped in a puddle of water. Because the washing machine was going at the time, I assumed that's where the water came from. But when we started moving things around and looking for the source, we discovered the water was actually coming UNDER THE WALL from my dishwasher! Great. I washed dishes by hand for about 4 months before we got it replaced. And let me tell you, I have never been so happy to load the dishwasher!! :)valerie in TXhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14112899504149881702noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3762514.post-719436677220730782009-10-19T11:22:56.758-04:002009-10-19T11:22:56.758-04:00This parallels Rachel's blog from Friday.
