I am such a Mom...

This last week, our well used dryer went completely on the fritz. The motor was over heating, no matter what setting it was on, and therefore not rotating. Ethan and I had been dicussing getting a new one, and oddly enough I was the one doing the major researching this time. Normally Ethan has a lot of down time at work and does the computer researching. But when it comes to the chore of laundry, I am the one that does it. Ethan and I fully when know what chore the other hates, mine is dishes, and his is laundry. So Ethan let me get a dishwasher, making life much easier. I hate the feeling of the food in the dishwater, it really grosses me out. As for laundry, it is not a chore I mind. I actually kind of enjoy it. I can sit there and watch a little t.v. while folding, usually after Mark is asleep. Down time that is still productive.
After going through many different specifications as to what I want, it came down to price, size - 7.0 or larger (need to accommodate for growing family size), if possible a stainless steel drum, and as an added bonus as many features that can possibly be added without jacking up the price. The stainless steel drum to deal with our severe heavy iron problem in our well water. The other stuff would have stained eventually. As for features, that is pretty self explanatory. This was the best deal of them all http://www.homedepot.com/webapp/wcs/stores/servlet/ProductDisplay?storeId=10051&langId=-1&catalogId=10053&productId=100498354.
They will be delivering, installing, and hauling away the old for free! Five years ago, I couldn't have cared less, it is amazing what makes me excited now. The only downfall is that it won't get here until May 12, which is the day I leave for Utah, meaning I won't see my latest appliance until May 20th when I get home. I am such a Mom

OOH! Congratulations! I have a new washer in my future, but I am stalling it as long as possible, because what I REALLY want is a dishwasher--so much!

Marie--who is even more "such a mom" than you are!

I'm sorry but I think that everyone should be excited about a new washer!
