BROKEN

The washer is broken (the drum is completely rusted through, and they don't make that part anymore). The microwave is broken (but a big thank you to friends who are letting us use theirs until I get another one...or follow favorite friend Troy's lead and just leave microwaves alone entirely). The vacuum is broken (there are some disadvantages to having your kids help with the housework; like that they might vacuum up a sock, or a plastic bag, or a fish hook. Or that there is even a fish hook on the floor to be vacuumed up in the first place...). The fridge is broken (well, the water dispenser in the fridge is broken). The sink is broken (unless you don't mind having to empty out the container underneath the sink everytime you use it--then it's not broken). The printer is broken. The car door is broken. The silverware drawer is broken. But Michael and I are great. We are not broken, and I'll take that over any house full of working parts. We work.
