New dishwasher!!!!  Yay!!  I’m So excited!! Yes, that’s right, we will have a dishwasher that actually works.  Apparently you don’t even have to wash the dishes before putting them into the dishwasher!! What a foreign concept!  I know I show my age when new appliances make me so excited. We also got a new stove a few weeks ago and at the time my four year old son thought it was funny to be excited about a stove. But, the stove was the very first major appliance that I got brand new. As in, going to Sears, looking around and ordering the stove we wanted…Sad right?? But, it’s true, we’ve always had second hand appliances. And, don’t get me wrong, I very much appreciated the gifted ones, but I’m super excited to have brand, spanking new appliances.

I feel the pain begin to start,
A jagged zap that bursts in unannounced.
No slow approach or minor touch
Instead it blows my brain apart!

I feel my body tense right up,
A reaction automatic to the pains’ assault.
No time to plan how best to act
The pain overflows my cup.

The pain explodes into my face,
In shattering streaks of lightning strikes,
No escaping the relentless attack
It consumes every possible space.

Huh…I can’t escape the pain right now. I can’t think straight or write anymore. I feel like I’m under attack. I’m stopping now. Sorry…

Hopefully one day I’ll get it right, or at least have fun, while about it I write!
