Additional Outage, Really?!

I've always heard the quote, "Bad things come in threes."  And from family's experiences, I've come to believe that statement to be true.  Well, I'm only on #2 so I'm anticipating the next one.

I decided to do our laundry late last night around 9:00.  This isn't normal for two reasons.  1)  I do laundry on the weekends so we can all start the week off with a clean set of clothes.  2)  I usually start earlier so I can go to sleep on time.  But for some odd reason, I NEEDED to do laundry last night.

I washed one load and watched a dvr'd program.  Then I put that load in the dryer and started another wash.  I continued with my tv program and about an hour later I heard the buzzer go off.  I opened the dryer door and started pulling out clothes.  I was shocked to find that the clothes were DAMP.  What the heck?!  These clothes have been in there for an hour and they're still wet?!  I turned the dryer on again and I felt the heat but didn't hear the drum spin.  I think at this point I'm just glad my clothes didn't catch on fire.  It was getting close to 11:00 and I ended up grabbing all the vacant hangers I could find and started hanging up two loads worth of wet clothes.  Then Gavin woke up probably because I was in his room collecting hangers and stepping on his toys.  Normally I would let him cry himself to sleep but I felt as if this awakening was my fault.  So I stayed up with him until he was tired enough.  Needless to say, this was a LONG night and I didn't go to bed till 1:00 a.m.

I wonder what will go out next.....stay tuned.  :)
