KB and Kids

Have you ever sat and reflected how far you have come over the past few years.  This morning was one of those days and as I sat here thinking I thought it would be fun to make note of all the things I've learned since being married and having kids. So this month will be a remembrance and learning month.  All the things I've learned about random stuff.  It might take a while, I've learned so many things, but I'll start with a fun one.
Tip #1 of things I've learned
  When your dryer vent is plugged, there are actual tools you can buy to clean it out.

  Don't stuff rags wadded up into a ball and tied to a rope down that little hole.  (Not my idea by the way) It may get stuck half way through, and tugging on it may only cause the vents to pull apart, which are in the floor, so if you want to fix it you will have to cut open the ceiling in the basement (not going to happen).  Or you can cut a hole in the garage wall and try to stuff a 10' pvc pipe into the vent trying to push the stuck rags out, but you have to ask your wife to help, who by the way just got home from the hospital that morning from having baby #5. (I wasn't very cooperative) and when you finally realize that all the vents in the floor are broken apart and the little ball of rags just isn't coming out, you can look online and call all the appliance stores for other ideas.  And then you can create this contraption (dryer vent) in the garage.  Which I think is suppose to be cleaned every so often.  So do we touch it? Nope.  It still makes me laugh every time I see it!!  I'm not sure Kerry laugh's about it though. Maybe in 20 years  FUN TIMES!!
