Turning rotton lemons into a double scoop chocolate sundae with whipped cream and sprinkles

Let me just set the stage by saying that the longest stretch of sleep I've had in the last twelve weeks was that one Wednesday night when Marlo forgot who she was for a second and slept for a solid four hours. That's it. Since then it's been two hours here, thirty minutes there, just enough to want to walk outside and play hopscotch in the middle of I-80.

Seriously! Yes, I do need to give a mild caution about some of the language, and it is a long read... But stick with it: if you're a parent, if you've ever had an appliance die just when you needed it the most, and if - amid all the tribulation - a blast of sunshine lasered down to light up your life... Then you'll know what this woman is talking about.

HUGE kudos to Jeff Piraino, manager of the executive offices of the Whirlpool Corporation in Michigan, but an even greater BRAVO! to Jason Avila of Bosch Appliances.

Read the whole thing. Trust me.
