If you’ve been roaming my blog for long, you already know about my ugly kitchen. BUT… we’ve made a Very. Important. Discovery. The kitchen is cursed and the appliances want out!

Here is the True Story.

My kitchen is ugly. Really Really Ugly.

You don’t believe me? Let me prove it.

We’ll stop right here for a minute. See, I know what you’re thinking – “Good grief Lynnette! Don’t you know how to paint? You could at least paint and change your light fixture! It doesn’t have to be quite THAT ugly! I refuse to listen to a lazy woman who doesn’t take care of her house! I’m unsubscribing to your blog! GOODBYE!”

If you’re still with me – I’ll be real. You like it when I’m real, right?

Violinists may begin playing.

I have 6 kids – and they are home with me every day (but Jared does live in the cottage now). I have a busy husband who’d rather spend his free time with his kids and wife – not his kitchen.

I don’t have extra money – and yes, even paint costs something. But I think the biggest challenge has just been that the kitchen needs everything – including floor leveling and some redesign – so the little efforts have always sounded like a waste of our precious and limited time because they would need to be undone at some point.

Violinists may now rest.

I know there are people who have dirt floors and no kitchens at all! I’m very grateful for my kitchen – even in all of it’s ugliness. I like to laugh at and share my ugly kitchen! It keeps a woman humble! It makes some really FUNNY conversation here on my blog too! :) Me and my ugly kitchen have become quite close. I will miss her when she’s a new woman! (Well… hmmmm…)

ANYWAY…

True story continues…

Our church family blessed us with money to buy a new oven a couple of years ago (when our other oven broke and was in the backyard waiting for a trip to the dump). Within 6 months a burner went out and now a light gets stuck on.

Last December we bought a brand new stainless steel dishwasher (because our other one died) and a new stainless steel refrigerator (because the other one leaked about two gallons of water every couple of weeks) . NEW APPLIANCES! SO EXCITING! Right? Well… for a while.

Within 4 months the dishwasher broke… then broke again… then broke again. It was an electrical defect and finally got fixed (for now).

Within 4 months the refrigerator also broke. Our freezer began to ice up and eventually it froze up and the refrigerator stopped cooling. Ten days without a fridge! Is it fixed? Surely they sent Mr. Appliance Fixer who made it work, right? Um. No. About 6 service calls later – still not working. So… swap it out for another! YAY! We’ll now have a dependable fridge and get rid of the lemon! YES! No. This one has the same problem. Argh!

Very recently, my certain lovely fancy blender (that was only bought brand new in May) began to shut off mid-cycle. I thought – Surely the blender that can blend rake handles and cell phones should be able to make a simple soup without overheating (I mean it isn’t STONE soup)! So, I called and they said, “Oh no. You have a defective product! Our blender is much more powerful than that! We will rush you a new motor base!” It came last week – so far so good.

My faithful Cuisinart 14 Cup food processor blew out it’s parts a few months ago – haven’t replaced that yet.

My coffee pot (not the machine, just the pot) broke a couple of weeks ago – simply flew out of my hands and across the floor! ha!

Laugh! Like Tom Hanks in the Money Pit – Laugh! It’s funny! That is just about every appliance I own! My NEW appliances – big and small – keep breaking! Is that normal? I think my kitchen is cursed!

My appliances are in rebellion! “Get me out of this ugly space! If you don’t put me in a prettier kitchen, well then, I’ll BREAK!”

And they did.

The End.
