Hubby leaves to go out of town and last night, in a span of about 3 hours, my dishwasher, clothes dryer, hot water tank, and TV all broke.
How is your day today?

Wow. You just traveled back to the early 1900s.

Seriously, that stinks!

I wish.
Loaded dishes into dishwasher and went out to switch laundry. Son hollers from the bathroom that there is no hot water. So, I go into bathroom and while my young son stands naked with his hands over his yahoo, I mess with the knobs. No hot water. So, I tell him to throw his clothes back on, (figuring it needed to reheat since dishwasher and washer were going) and told him to wait until it heated back up.
Head back to the laundry room and promptly step through my kitchen that is now a wading pool. Water pouring from beneath the dishwasher. So, throw a bunch of towels down. Head out to the dryer....and being frazzled twisted what I thought was the minutes dial. Instead I twisted off the start button and it feel right into my hand. Tried to push the stump sticking out and it fell back into the dryer with no retrieval from the outside possible.
Go back in the house and dirty, but clothed son says, "Mom, what's wrong with the TV?"
Tried the water later....still no hot water. Tried the water this morning...still no hot water.
Again, I wish.

Did you check all your breakers on the electric panel?

That is too funny!
Give your hubby a big hug and tell him he was greatly missed when he comes home?

That was my first thought.
Lord I pray special protection on Shellie's Household.

Not the breakers. Remember, dryer was my fault.
I thought dishwasher was leaking once before a couple of weeks ago, but then it quit so I figured I just didn't shut it tight enough that time.
We've had trouble with this hot water heater before.
Thanks for your prayers.

Shellie that is what would happen when my hubby would have to go somewhere for a few month when he was in the Marines.
I'm sorry you are having a bad day.
Get on that phone and call Scott to come home.

Shellie, I feel so ashamed for the way I acted after accidentally breaking both yokes of my fried eggs this morning.
I learned a lot by reading your post, one being that I will never look at "Yahoo" the same way again.

Don't be. I know how important unbroken yokes are on fried eggs. If it breaks, might as well scoop it out to the dogs.

yet...the day is still young.
Just kidding friend. Hang in there. At some point, you will sit down in the floor and have yourself a great laugh/cry session. I hate it that I won't be there when that happens.
