We woke up to a
We woke up to a beautiful spring day! We all got started doing our own things, me working on finishing cleaning the basement up while Stace and Dean started cleaning up the yard. (Caleb was playing outside in his saucer) Dean asked me what I wanted to see done today and every day he’s asked that I’ve told him I want to paint the kitchen. Today I was super motivated though. So around 1 we started, around 2 disaster struck. While attempting to paint the trim above the cabinets, Dean mistakenly kneeled down right onto our stove. Now if we had a cheap stove that would be fine, but we have one of those flat stove tops, that you can just see the burners when its on, not sure how to describe it, but it made the loudest noise and when I turned around I didnt even think to ask how he was, I just started yelling. We decided to finish painting then worry what to do about our now broken stove. Dean found out by looking online that to replace the stove top it would be $301 and thats w/out shipping or anything. We figured we may as well just get a new stove, so in a bit we are going stove shopping since we no longer have one. So not only do we have a freshly painted kitchen, we will soon have a new stove. If we could afford it I’d be more excited, but we dont think we’ll survive too long w/out a stove.
I said we could probalby, since the oven will still work, we think. And we have a crock pot, a microwave and a George Forman grill so it’s not like we dont have any way to cook, it’s just easier to have a stove! Dean’s big thing was not being able to ground beef, I said we dont need to but I guess he would prefer that than homemade meatballs, but me I’d rather have meatballs. None the less, we are praying there’s a good sale on stoves this weekend cause we werent budgetting for a new stove by any means. So it was a nice day…….but I am sure I will be happy, I’d love to pick out a stove, oh yeah, I am going to get to!!! Like I said, it would be much nicer if I knew we had money to buy one!
