Look out, I’m going in…
Our dishwasher is leaking. The other morning I got up and found pools of water across the kitchen floor. 
Ugh. At first we couldn’t figure out whether it was the dishwasher or the refrigerator, but that night we discovered the dishwasher door was the culprit. Yesterday I cleaned it up, scraping off the yuck that had caked onto the bottom of the door. It didn’t work. Now it leaks worse. Maybe the yuck was holding the water in! 
Now the question is whether to call a repairman on a 9-year-old dishwasher or bite the bullet and get a new one.
It reminds me vaguely of the revisions I’m doing. When I go back, I’m discovering plot leaks and chapters that need a good cleaning. I’ve even found a few of those–”What drugs were you on when you wrote this garbage??”–scenes. Thankfully I have a chance to cut those and add new ones. It’s a slow process, but the book will be stronger for it. Can’t wait until I can turn it in!
Just for fun, here are two pictures of the babies.

My dishwasher died and unfortunatly there is much on the list before it gets fixed - here’s hoping yours is an easy fix.
Sweet sweet babies!!!!
Peggy Says:
Sweeties! I’ve only seen pictures of you, but they surely have their mother’s eyes!
Leanna Ellis Says:
Your babies are ADORABLE! What a sweet stage. I remember when mine were that young. Sometimes I really miss those days. Hugs ‘em tight.
Rene Says:
Cute pictures!
It will probably cost you more to fix the dishwasher than it is worth, so I would get out the Sears ad.
I know I have had those “who in the hell wrote this crap?” moments. Thank goodness for delete keys.
Mary Says:
My husband is the type that would try to fix the dish washer. Maybe you could go to home depot and find out what is wrong. It might only be a simple part.
LauraP Says:
Adorable, happy faces! Love it! Good luck with the dishwasher.
Tori Says:
No dishwasher advice, I’m afraid. But I’m having a lot of those “who wrote this crap” moments right now.
The kiddos are so cute!
Amy K. Says:
Darling babies! And I’d give the repairman a chance, I guess. I hate appliance problems.
Margery Says:
We dont’ replace anything. My dh is Mr. Fixit, even when I don’t want things fixed.
Adorable babies!!!!!!!!

Cute pics!
And that’s why I love revising. You can make it so much better. Good luck with the dishwasher!
Suzanne Says:
The kids are SOOOO cute. Sorry about the dishwasher!

LOVE the pictures of the babies. I don’t know what to tell you on the dishwasher. I’ve never had one. And now that I have pre-teens…guess who’s doing dishes now?
BWAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHA
Love the castle at the top.

I don’t have any advice for you, I’m afraid. But I relate. My washing machine has a similar problem. Hopefully we’ll both have waterless floors soon.
Steph T. Says:
Love the pics!
And I hear you on the revisions - sometimes I think, I couldn’t possibly have written that…but yeah, I did. It’s nice to be able to go back and fix it all up.
And yuck on the dishwasher
