May I borrow your husband?

Posted by kim on January 15, 2008

Last night, my washing machine just quit in the middle of a load of laundry. Having a semi-bad day already, I didn’t need another problem to worry about. Would I need to buy a new washer? Is the laundrymat open to finish washing my clothes? What’s a single mom to do?

I call one of my married friends (aren’t they all married now?) and ask if her husband can come over to check out my dilemma. But before he could get here, I fixed the problem myself! Flipped the breaker switch and pushed the reset button on the outlet. Thank God nothing was wrong with my washer, but why am I blowing fuses already?

So, I now have another reason why I want to get married – for help around the house. The original tagline of this site was “Kim’s Journey not only to Build a New House, but to Find a Man to help Share it.” Well, the house is now built, but still not shared.
