Bad News - The washer will cost more to fix than to buy a new one. Grrr.
Not exactly what I wanted to hear but such is life. The kids and I went to Sears and spent every last penny on a new machine that they can't deliver until Monday. I was really hoping to have a working machine today. Oh well, this too shall pass. All will be well. I am hoping that the washer is delivered before the baby is delivered.
Luckily we saved enough money last month for our "three month reserve" to buy a washing machine. That is what it is for right? Its back to zero for now, but zero is better than negative. Good thing we started last month instead of next month. :)
